Hale Johnson

Hale Johnson

Attorney Hale Johnson (1847 – November 4 1902), was an American politician.

Johnson left the Republican Party because it did not support an amendment to the United States Constitution mandating national prohibition of alcohol. He then became "one of the most effective, prominent and influential" prohibitionists in the country, according to one biographer. In 1896 he was the Prohibition Party candidate for governor of Illinois. Later that year he became the party's candidate for vice-president and campaigned in over 30 states.

Johnson was shot to death by a farmer in Jasper County, Illinois, while trying to collect a debt.
