WASHINGTON, April 28 (Copy- right, 1920).—Republican primary re- sults in Massachusetts, Ohio and New Jersey have failed to produce an merely accentuated the fundamental line of demarcation between ultra- radical and ultra - conservative thought in the party itself. Analysis of the returns and...be, localities from which the preference vote was polled would seem to indi- cate that the more or less conserva- tive eloments in the Republican rank | and file are dividing their votes be- | tween Major Gen. Wood, Senator Harding and Gov, Lowden, while the middle-of-the-road Republicans show an inclination taward Herbert Hoover, and the extreme radicals, or the pro gressives who fover on the edge of the radicaliam and policies of na- | tionalism, show a strong liking for | Senator Hiram Johnson | WOOD, HARDING AND LOWOEN: ARE ALL CONSERVATIVE. | The substitution of Wood for Hard- ing or Lowden or the nomination of any one of these three men would not mean the lows of the following of the other two. Their #strength comes from recisely the same type of Republl- can voters, It is Interesting to note that all three favor the League of Nations and treaty with reservations, and their supporters include the reg- ular Republican voters together with some independents, The bulk of the independent Repub- lican vote as the returns would indi- cate is being divided between Herbert Hoover and Senator Hiram Johnson, with the latter being supported by thousands of now voters, most of them formerly Democrats who have disapproved of President Wilson's stand on the League of Nations, Certainly Senator Johnson, who has made no bones of his absolute opposition to the treaty and League, manages to poll as considerable a vote even in astern States as he} did in the Middle West and Fur West. The conclusion drawn here is that either the Johnson personality, which | made itself s0 effective a force in Callforma, is impressing \tself upon! the voters with Rooseveltian mag- | netism or that those elements in the| American electorate who feel keenly about Article Ten are taking this op- portunity to express thelr apprecta- 2 (Continued on Second Page.) tion was a criminal combination in 101 and the brief agparently concedes t, it was a criminal combination in and %t is @ criminal combination | now | $200,000,000 STEEL MERGER PLANNED Will Inclide Bethlehem and Other { Independents, Wall Street Hear | Bethlehem, Lackwwanna, Midvale and other indep 1 companica with a ed work wpltal of nearly y by the to be Jong 14 for the merger have been time and are still 9 report state. under way for #0! uncompicted, “JOHNSON SPLITS THE Vo F NEW JERSEY DELEGATES: WINS IN California Senator Polls 49,237 to 49,- 770 for General, With Only 166 Pre- cincts in State Unreported—Has 9 District Delegates to 13 for Wood. pen Seay The latest returns from the New Jersey primary election with 166 | districts missing show a lead of 533 votes for Gen, Wood in the Presi- sential preference vote over Senator Hiram Johnson, 49,770 to 49,237 for Johnson.
