WASHINGTON, June 8—The movement to name Gov. Hiram John- son of California 4s running mate with Roosevelt is gaining headway. Word has been received in Washington that California is planning to send a delegation to Chicago to push the Johnson boom. The suggestion has met with favor throughout the country, and while there are several other aspirants, it is quite likely that there will be no serious opposition to the plan to name Johnson as vice presidential candidate. es" 9 It would The introduction of preferential primaries into the choice of presi- dential candidates has brought with it several new problems and threat- ens to upset several old precedents. The choice of a nationaP committee. man by primary vote upsets one of the precedents, In the old days, the| holdover committeeman chosen four years previously was permitted to! act on all questions preliminary to organizi he new convention and| to serve until the name of a new committe nh was presented by, the delegation at the convention. Now that the people select the new com-| mitteeman and the selection has in many, imwtances come to stand for} new issues and principles, the demand is made, as in the case of W. P. Howell, committeeman from Nebraska, that the new man be permitted 0 They want the school houses thrown open for) ¢¥ giddy girl to serve at once.
