REPUBLICAN NOMINATION IN 1920? “The political center of gravity in !he nation lias shifted * • * to tlie tales that tic between the Mississippi River sad the Pacific Coast.” — New Cork Times editorial. This opinion is typical o f an Idea which Is rapidly spreading throughout (he country. There iff a feeling that 'the West Is in the saddle for the pres idential nomination In 1020.“ The fact that the West decided the ist presidential electiou lias made It a I««tent factor In future calculations perior court, and aitraded much fa vorable attention by his Judicial abili ty. In 1908 Poindexter was elected as a representative from the state of Washington to the Sixty-first Congress. He soon became known as an able, pro gressive Republican. In the senate, to which he was elevated In 1910, he was a staunch advocate o f measures favor ing the control and restriction o f big corporations, especially o f the rail roads. He sought the conservation o f !' 11 nn,ural resources o f the country. ' ,n<’ ,uding water power, coal and oil and without the sanction and support o f ibis great power candidates for state or judicial offices could not be elected. Johnson, first as counsel for interests opposing the railroad corpo ration and later as governor, waged a bitter and unremitting warfare ag: nst railroad domination. His final v lc o r y was a potent factor In his election to the senate in 1916. Johnson is a Re publican. but generally regarded aa one of the radical type. He has, like Poindexter, strongly opposed the League o f Nations. Senator William E.
