T1IE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDXESDAT. APRIL 21, 1920 IS JOHNSON APPEALS FOB VOTE OF LABOR Portland Placarded With Campaign Posters.- "TESTIMONIAL" IS SIGNED Senator Only Candidate Seeking Support of One Class of Citizens. There was launched in Portland yesterday an aggressive campaign to line up the organized labor vote of the city for Hiram W. Johnson, sena tor from California. Hundreds ' of broadsides making; an appeal to mem bers of the labor unions were pla carded over the city, the posters being displayed prominently and numerous ly in the sections where organized labor would be most likely to see and read them. Judging from the announcement, which carries the signatures of the president, secretary-treasurer and many vice-presidents of the California state federation of labor; president of the San Francisco building trades council; San Francisco labor council; California state building trades coun cil and similar union bodies, the pro , gramme is to make a strong bid for the votes of organized labor, which is estimated at several thousand in Multnomah county. " The appeal to class is made domi nant in the "testimonial of loyalty and appreciation" and It is addressed to the laboring men and women, of America. It recites that for several years Senator Johnson was governor of California and practically in con trol of the legislative as well as the executive functions of the state. John I. Nolan Quoted. John I. Nolan, who acted as legis lative agent for labor interests at Sacramento, is quoted as saying that organized labor was fortunate In hav ing Johnson in the governor's chair and: "He Is entitled to and should receive the unanimous support, with out any exception, of the entire labor movement of the state of California, and it is to be hoped that labor, when the time corned, will show that it ap preciates the square deal accorded them at the hands of Governor Johnson." After reciting some of the laws af fecting labor in California enacted while Senator Johnson was governor and the changes in the election sys tem, the "testimonial" proceeds: "Hut the necessity for political re form and the tremendous effort re quired to accomplish this work did not prevent Governor Johnson from giving full attention as well to the social regeneration of the state. La bor, both organized and unorganized, owes him a debt of gratitude and appreciation, and every man familiar with his great work in California knows that his sympathies for the masses and his appreciation of their problems will be carried Into na tional life with his election to the presidency." P. H. McCarthy In List. Among the many names included on the the statement is that of P. H. McCarthy, member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join ers, president of the San Francisco Building Trades council and State Building Trades council of Califor nia. Other leaders of organized labor who sign the appeal are: John A. O'Oonuell, member. Internation al Brotherhood of Teamsters; secretary Can Francisco Labor Council, San Fran cisco, Cal. Paul Scharrenberg, editor Seamen's Journal, aecrelary-treasurer California Btate Federaiian of Labor, San Francisco, Cal. Dan!! J.

To date Senator Johnson Is the only aspirant for the presidential nomina tion before the voters of Oregon who is making a drive for a class vote. Others are making a general cam paign for support, but the Johnson plan, as disclosed yesterday, is to pose as the only seeker for the presi dency who will give a square deal to organized labor. The testimonial of "loyalty and appreciation" Is support ed by the men who have been active in the strike troubles in San Francisco. ABRAHAM STATES POSITIOX Ojen Letter Addressed to It. X. Stanficld Proposing Issue. Opposed to the league of nations, with or without reservations, Albert Abraham wants to make the contest for the republican nomination for United States senator on this issue. To this end, he has addressed an open letter to TL N. Stanfield. The commu nication follows: PORTLAND. Or.. April In. An open letter to the Honorable Robert JC. Stan field. Dear Sir: I am encouraged to be lieve that the republican press of the state will he pleased to publish this open letter to you hleh I am prompted to write in the interest of the republican party. Wo are about to enter upon a contest for the republican nomination for United states senator. It must be apparent to you that the winning candidate must be able to (TO before the general electorate with clean hands and with no taint or sus picion of any violation of the corrupt prac tice; act. The 'most either of ua Is per mitted to expend In the primary for the nomination Is 15 per cent of the yearly salary, or the sum of IIIC.V The small amount of advertising either of us can legitimately get for this amount of money must be apparent. I am frank to state that I cannot afford to spend even this mount. This therefore Is. In a sense, an apnea! to your generosity. The slight advantages there might be In each advertisement are Insignificant when compared with the service we might ren der to our party, and consequently to our country. In setting a salutary precedent by conforming to the letter and spirit of the primary Taw. Tou are standing on a distinct Issue, that of favoring the league of nations with reservations. I am opposed to the league with or without reservations. There can he no question as to the Issue between ua. If the majority of the republican party re In favor of yorr position, you need not ceax the issue. If they are In favor of mine, you should not want to represent them. The same is true of myself. I therefore propose to you to Join with me in a frank statement: to the republican party that we will submit the question of our candidacy to them upon the above Is sue, without further expense to either of us except such aa may be necessary to fairly present the Issue to the electorate: that there shall be no advertisement of our candidacies, except to make known our positions upon the league of nations: and that, whenever there is advertisement of the position of either of us, the other shall. Included In the same advertisement, at the same time and place, receive the same amount of advertisement as to his position This is a plain business proposition which should appeal to you. Furthermore, it would permit the whole party to give a full and free expression of its position on the great question before the people. I would be pleased to have you make a frank answer to this proposal in as public a manner aa this Is made. H. W. PATTOX SEEKING OFFICE Two Candidates Announced for Position of Lieutenant-Governor.
