This Matter o f A ge

Death last Saturday removed

the strongest polit ical figure in

MOlltgomery County's history.

Had his illness of t he la st few

years, which caused his retirement

as county Republican leader, not

prevented it, it wou ld h av e b een

of absorbing interest to have known

the views of Charles Johnson in

particular on the Supreme Court

issue.

POl ' h er e was a l11an who did no t

ascend to power until he was f if tyand thcn, twenty-eight years later,

climaxed his career when h is o r

ganization turned i n a 32,000 majority for Herbert Hoover in 1932

during the f irst Roosevelt landslide.lIad anyone suggested to "Char

ley" at 10 that he was too old to

continuc on the joh , the one with

such tcmerity prohahly would havc

been thrown bodily out of .John

son's ol'tiee and by .Johllson.In fact he displayed his grcat

est knowlcdgc , ; ;t rcng th and wis

dom hetwecn the agcs o f 70 and 78.

The conclnsion to be drawn from

the rccord o f this one "old man"

and also from the careers of "ninc

old mcn" is that onc's primc of l ifc

and service depcnds to a l arge ex
