For those who want to beat Johnson, the simple expedient is to combine their votes on the leading candidate opposing him. In this state this is Gen. Wood. If Johnson is beaten in Indiana,, it.will be by Wood. If Johnson wins, it. will be through the votes of those who think they want to beat Johnson, but help to win by voting for LoWden or Harding. _ ; We have no quarrel with Senator Johnson or his supporters.
