At one time, when it looked as if Hiram. were capable of giving the President a real fight for the nomination, there were coast Repub- licans, who would have voted and fought for Coolidge. Now, it fis thought, some of these in a spirit of compassion may hand Johnson a com- plimentary vote. They will desire to award him a sort of consolation prize in the shape of the California delegation, assured in advance that it cannot concelvably Injure Coolidge at Cleveland. Other “native sons” belleve Johnson still has backers enough in the state to give him a majority of anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000 over the President in the primary. That, of course, would represent o rremendous deciine In Hiram's stocs in California. was Clected senator In 1923 By 350,000, Always Too Ambitious. An unblased analysis of the rise and tall of Hiram Johnson in Californfa ascribes his decline from high estate to his ungovernable ambition to be President of the United States. Ever since California sent him to the Sen- ate Hiram has been “rynning for President.” He has consistently gone to Bat for California interests—in connection with ' tariffs on citrus fruits and other home products—and has been a valiant supporter of all anti-Japanese projects in Congress. He battled to the last against the four-power Pacific treaty negotiated at the Washington conference. Broadly speaking, however, Johnson has lost favor with his old-time sup- porters, because they think he has turned his back on the ideals he once 1t is a com- mon thing in California to hear men and women say that Johnson is “pro- gressive gt election time" and “reac- tionary” the rest of the time. His failure to make train connections for Washington in time to_vote for the unseating of Senator Newberry did please his progressive con- stituents. There is a very strong league of nations sentiment in Cali- fornia, particularly in the populous south. Johnson's bitter isolationist views have estranged that community from him. This vear his vituperative fight against ‘the President and against the Republican administra- tion alienated many regular Repub- licans, who found such tacties unbe- coming in a man seeking the party's nomination. Many think Johnson will gradually fade out as a_national figure from now on and perhaps seek fame and fortune In the practice of (Copyright, 1824.) | The Fun Shop Conducted by Maxson Foxhall Judell The Inquisitive Reporter.
