These Johnson supporters, there- fore, are tied tight to the Coolidgw bandwagon. They say that they are for him 160 per cent. The manager of Johmson's campaign durirg the primary campaign, when the Senator s sceking the preference of the voters against President Coolidge for the nation. is one of them. They still insist that Johnson is a great leader, and that his strength is un- impaired in California. But therc re others who think differently in this regard. Should Johnson suddenly announce himself against Coolidge and for La ollette, a very embarassing situa- tion might arise for the Senator with s old-timé allies in th camp. Furthermore, when Senator opposed [Johnson was a candidate on the Bull Moose ticket with Theodore Roose- velt and La Follette's aid was needed, La Follette withheld it. Again in when Senator Johnson was striving mightily for the presidential nomination at the Republican na- jtional convention, there was an ab- sence of La Follette suport for Californian at a crucial time. the State In Progressive. In California the politically by a range of mountains orthern California is particularly “Progressive.” It has followed John- son strongly for the last dozen years and more. Southern California has be he hotbed of Republicanism of the oider school. Here in San Francisco and to the north, the Ls Follette campaign has made much headway. La Folletta has the sup- port of the labor unions, as he has in other States. He has the support of German-American voters and he has a number of powerful newspapers backing him. an Francisco. but of and other northern cities. “Give us the farmer votes with anythi like the solidarity found among the industrial workers and we will win the State easily,” was the comment of of the La Follette managers.

But the measure got no support from La Follette. It points out that LaFollette voted against a taroff on olive oil produced in California, but voted for the high- | est rate on linseed and flaxseed oil of which the raw materials are produced in considerable quantity in Wiscon- n. He voted, the pamphlet says, against a tariff on citrus fruits, a monds and walnuts grown in Califor- nia. He would give no support to pleas for duties on rice. As a climax, it tekes the Wisconsin Senator to task because he did not vote when the Japanese exclusion act came up for action in the Senate. California farmers are not moured of the LaKolletta proposal for Government ownership of rail- roads. Some of them say they had a taste of Government operation of the roads in war times whieh they not forgotten.

While the Republicans seemingly have gotten together in this State in support of the national ticket, the La Follette managers point to fact that the Coolidge-Dawes organ | zation is being run by the old ant Johnson crowd, while the State com- mittee is in the hands largely of the Johnson organization.
