May Succeed Dawes.

Professor Joseph French Johnson of the University of Pennsylvania may succeed Charles G. Dawes as comptroller of the currency. Professor Johnson is regarded as one of the best

Informed authorities upon finance It the country and several years ago, if he had chosen to accept, he might have been comptroller. He preferred, though, retaining his place as a teacher in the Wharton School of Finance and Economy in the University of Pennsylvania. The Republican party has been under great obligations to Professor Johnson for service’s rendered during the campaign in 1896, and he stands close to the present administration through the many friends he has holding high official positions. Professor Johnson has just returned from Europe, where he journeyed with Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Vanderllp, and is now spending the summer on his farm in Massachusetts. Comptroller Dawes’ successor will be appointed Oct 1.
