TOO STRENUOUS IN ARRANGEMENTS

Governor Johnson Could Not Ffll All the Speaking Engagements Arranged In Indiana. r *> Governor Hiram Johnson, of California, the progressive candidate for vice-president, found that Chairman Lee had been too strenuous in arranging his speaking program in Indiana. After putting in a hard day Thursday, which closed with a big meeting at Indianapolis that night, he was almost exhausted and insisted that he could not undertake to make the speeches booked for him at Carmel, Noblesville, Cicero, Arcadia, Tipton, Kokomo, Marion and Anderson. These towns had been expecting short addresses from him as he was en route to Cincinnati. All were canceled, as he expected that the big meeting to be held at Cincinnati tonight would require all his strength. A long public speaking trip is very exhausting. Senator Beveridge, when here, Avowed signs of over-exertion and referred to the fact that four years ago he spoke so much that he was on the very threshold of death when the campaign closed.
