THE ' MORNING' ORECJOMAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, 1920 BOLT BY -JOHNSON URGED IN PETITIONS son. who Returned from Chicago last night, did not appear at the capitol to day and at his office it was said he was resting at his home at Riverdale, Maryland. Circulation of 20 Papers Started in Portland. . THIRD PARTY PROPOSED TV. I. Adams Only Person of Group Identified With Move; Sen ator's Defeat Declared Unfair. A group of Johnson admirers set 20 petitions In' circulation at noon yes terday urging Hiram W. Johnson to bolt the republican ticket nominated nt Chicago and head a new party. If Senator Johnson Issues a statement that he will abide by the decision of the convention, the movement, launched in Portland and which is in sympathy with a similar movement started in New York, will automatic ally cease. Those who have banded themselves together to tempt the Californian to repudiate the platform and nominees of the repubiican party are in nowise connected with the official JohTison organization which had charge of his campaign in Oregon during the recent primaries. It is an entirely volunteer organization and working independ ently of the Johnson machine. W. r. Adams Assists Move. W. T. Adams, 1037 Chamber of Com merce building, is the only one in the group whose identity has been re vealed. Mr. Adams said that he was not at liberty to make, public the names of his associates in this im promptu movement, at .least for the present. The urge for Senator Johnson to bolt is based on the manner and method in which Johnson was elim inated at the republican convention. During the primary contest in Ore gon a rumor spread that if Senator Johnson was not nominated at Chi cago he would bolt. To set these re ports at rest. Sanfield MacDonald, Oregon manager for Johnson, tele graphed for a statement. A personal message from Senator Johnson to Mr. MacDonald followed and with the re quest that it receive publicity. Stand With Party Avowed. In this message Senator Johnson avowed his intention of abiding by the decision of the republican con vention. Since the convention, how ever. Senator Johnson has refused to make any statement regarding the platform or the nominees, and this has led to the belief that he may con template bolting. The action of Mr. Adams and his associates, is calculat ed to fan the fires of discontent. If ruch exist in the mind of the Califor nian. "Since the nominations at Chicago,' explained Mr. Adams, who was Inter ested in local politics about 15 or 20 years ago," a number of people have expressed their dissatisfaction with the treatment accorded Senator John son. Wo believe that he did -not re ceive a square deal and that he was beaten out of the nomination by polit ical trickery. We are satisfied that he is the popular choice for presi dent. IVerr lark Petitions Reported. "Tuesday morning a flash came over a stock wire in Portland saying that petitions had been started in New York asking Johnson to head a third party, and that 100,000 names had been secured. We had a conference at noon and discussed the situation. It was believed that If the people of the east were willing to have Johnson bolt, then the people of the extreme west, the people of Johnson's terri tory, should be equally interested. So we took the Initiative to put out peti tions asking him to head a third party. Twenty petitions were started out. "It should be distinctly understood that none of us were in any manner connected with the Johnson organiza tion during the primary contest in Oregon. Johnson Manager Nat Consulted. "We haven't consulted the Johnson managers and do not even know where they are, nor whether they lavor Senator Johnson bolting. It is our own enterprise and it will be car ried on until Senator Johnson either announces he will abide by .the Chi cago convention or will head a new movement." J. A. Miller is the only individual in rortland at present who was identi fied with the Johnson headquarters, and he said that he did not know Mr Adams and that the proposed move ment for a bolt was news to him. Mr. MacDonald and Thomas Mannix of the Johnson organization have not re turned from Chicago. Xotirication Sent Johnson. v WASHINGTON, June 15.
