Minnesota Governor Johnson Dies in Rochester Death Ends Remarkable Political Career
Governor Johnson died at 3:25 Tuesday morning after a long illness. His body lay in state at the Capitol in St Paul before a service in St Peter. Adolph Eberhart took oath as governor. Eberhart vows to honor Johnson’s memorial day proclamation and oversee no immediate changes in office. The article traces Johnson’s two-term record, insurance reforms, iron range handling, and fleeting prescience as a possible 1912 presidential candidate. The piece also notes mourning gestures and public tribute across Minnesota.
