E ATTACKN PROGRESSIVES WILL NOT USE MAC1EPLAN Governor Johnson of California Says Progressives Will Forego Thefr Advantage and That Special Ses sion Will Include Primary. k I COULD INSTRUCT FOR BOB LA F0LLETTE, BUT WILL NOT Instead Will Submit Presidential Candidates to a Primary Vote of tho People. SACRAMENTO, Cal Nov. 20.. Declaring that, as nt presont slttint od, tho progressives aro In full con trol In California .and could with no trdttblo send a full La Follotto dolo gntlon to the republican national con vention, Governor Hiram Johnson today, In a statement to tho tinltcd Press declacod,iha-progrcsslvcs will forego their advantage and that ho will Includo in hls;cnll fqan extra soslo;i tlio dbmand for a presiden tial primary. -Following Is Governor Johnson's summing up of tho polit ical situation In California nnd-' his declaration of tho action ho and his follow progressives aro to tnko. (By Hiram W. JohnBon, Governor of California.) Tho direct primary law, given tis In 1309, contained a Joker designed to continue and perpotunto In 1912 tho power of tho old Southern Pa cific machine. This provision t,iB that tho county conventions which should bo B.olcctedn 1910 should bo called togotjter 'again In 1912, and these countyco'nvcirllmis flhW-'ee-lect delegates to a stato convention, which in turn should chooso dele gates to the national convention. Of course, at tho tlmo of tho enact ntont of the law In 1909 tho old Southern Pacific political machlno looked forward confidently nnd com placently to the usual result in 1910 by which It would control moat of the county conventions and tho statu convention as woll. Tho political rovolution or 1910, however, upset tho plans of thoso who havo ruled our politics for so many years and tho progresslvo wing ot tho republican party, after Its extraordinary victory In tho direct primary of 1910, found Itself In pos session not only ot tho nominations but of tho party control and control ot county conventions of tho stato. By inheritance that which was moant to perpetuate tho old mnchlno canto to tho progrosslvo wing of tho republican party and today tho pro gressive wing of tho ropublloait par ty has control ot tho maohluory of tho party In tho stato and lit a groat majority ot tlio county convontlona ot tho state. Tho law was permitted by the last loglslatttro to romaln as tho mnchlno had given to us becauso It was known that a spooial session of tho legislature was to bo called. Tho political situation In tho stato ot California Is Just this: Tho progrosslvo3 ot tho republican party nro in control of that party'B machinery and thoy can, by simply oboying tho law which was enacted by their oppouonts, sond a solid dele gation to tho national republican convention for Senator Robert M. La Follotto. Tho question prosontod Is whotbor tho progrowlvo republicans ot tlio state, with this power, glvon by a machlno law, which by pootlo Justlco hoists tho old maohlno with its own poturd should tnko affirmative no tion and should enact anothor and a deflntto law whioh would yield tho ndvantago thoy possoss. Of coureo, If tho roaotlonarlos In California hold tho ndvantago that tho progres sives now hold, thoy would simply laugh dorlslvoly at any roquost for a presidential profor. nco primary. In every stnto In tho union whoro . tho roaotlonarlos nro In control tho people aro domandlng u direct pri mary for prosldont, tho reactionaries stolidly and defiantly deny that pri mary, Tho only states. in tbo union whoro a presidential preferonco pri mary is accordod nro In prqgros$',vo states whoro progressive nro In con trol, That a psosldontlal proferonco primary Is Just, nobody can deny, and bp wo will torggo que ndvan tago and onll tor u presidential pri mary.
