Xewberry Case Explanation Not Quite Satisfactory. BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON. D. C. Au(. 16. "Just for a tariff on almonds he left us: "Just for a rate to protect home, frown nuts." Thus sings the Bull Moose Brown Ins of Hiram, the. "lost leader"- Hiram Johnson, United States sen ator from California, Theodore Roosevelt's running mate on tho progressive party ticket In 1912. Mfs too bad." sigh the Bull Moos ers, 'Hiram was a man of great . promise no teiling how far- ht: might have gone; into the White House, perhaps. Who knows?" The tariff bill came along. Then he fell. He lined up with the old guard. He swallowed the bill. He got the tariff on nuts produced by California booster to the limit and the sky was the limit the day lie put it over. The Bull Moosers went into mourning for the lost leader. In vain were they reminded that Johnson was in the midst of a des perate fight for renomination and that f he failed to get high duties on nuts, lemons, olives and other California products California never would forgive him and would re duce him to the ranks. Foes Charge lesertion. Johnson is now on the stump In California battling for renomination in the primary on August 29, while Chester H. Rowell and other former Bull Moosers are going up and down the state assailing him for desertion of the cause. Johnson's opponent in the primary is C C. Moore of San Francisco, a rich olive grower and engineer, who was president of the Panama-Pacific exposition. Moore was drafted by the anti-Johnson forces to make the race and is re ported to be running strong, though probably not strong enough to win the nomination, according tc the latest, advices. Southern California is reported to be pronouncedly anti-Johnson, and the senator, who has tne backing of organized labor, is not being helped any by the interruption of trans continental train service by the ac tion of the railway brotherhoods in abandoning trains in the desert. The remainder of tha state, however, is expected to pull Johnson through. IJIimxard Story Doubted. Johnson is being assailed for his antagonistic attitude toward the Harding administration and is being portrayed as a destructive, instead of a constructive, statesman. In 12S bills he introduced, it is asserted, only four of minor importance were passed. He is charged with being absent on one-thtrd of the senate rollcalls, while doing law work for Hearst and Hylan. He also is being pestered on the ground that he dodged the vote on the Newberry 'case. Johnson explains that he was detained en route to Washington at that time by a blizzard. The oppo sition presents meteorological testi mony that there was no blizzard. The democratic candidate for sen ator will be W. J. Pearson of Los Angeles." Upton Sinclair also is an aspirant for the senatorship. Another former Bull Mooser. Sena tor Poindexter of Washington, is In volved in a lively fight for renom ination. His opponents are Mrs. Frances C. Axtell. who has been not only a progressive but. a demo crat and was a Wilson administra tion office-holder; and George Lamp ing, another progressive republican who was an officer in the Spanish American war. Poindexter' Foea Buay. The Hearst paper is attacking Foindexter chiefly for his vote for the, four-power treaty and the Scripps papers are assailing him for his vote to seat Newberry. A cur ious angle of the Newberry issue is supplied by the fact that western Washington retains an exceedingly kindly feeling for Newberry, be cause as secretary of tho navy he was largely responsible for the de velopment of the great navy yard at Bremerton, organized laDor is against Poindexter because of his "sponsorship of proposed anti-strike legislation and hia efforts to put teeth in the procedure of the rail road labor board. On the other band., the railway and coal strikes have increased the number of his supporters who hold that Poindex ter's proposals for enforcing peace between capital and labor have been vindicated. Former Representative Dill will be the democratic candidate for senator. The o'nly primary fight for representative is in the Seattle dis trict, where Representative Miller Is opposed by Philip Tindall. a Wash ington, D. G. product and an ex service man, and former Represen tative J. W. Bryan, a one-time Bull Mooser. i I - ' ' , ' 5 - " ."; U t pnoto by Underwood & Underwood." ONE OF ATLANTIC CITY'S FAIR MERMAIDS.
