CHICAGO. June 5. Senator Hiram
Johnson announced today that he felt
confidant that every delegate who
came from a state that cast a
preferential vote in his favor would
vote for him not only on the first or
first few ballots, but until he released
him. .,,
I have no fear that a man will
violate his instructions given .by the
people of his state. I fully expect
delegates in a state that cast a
preferential vote in my favor to vote
for me," he said.
When his attention was called to
the situation in North Dakota where
delegates reported favorable to Gen
eral Wood were elected, but where
Johnson, who was the only candidate
running in the preference primary,
carried the state. Senator Johnson
stated that he fully expected to re
i cive the North Dakota vote.
Delegates Expected to "Stick."
Asked whether he expected to hold
all these delegates ifntil he released
them, he answered decidedly in the af
firmative. Reports were called to his attention
that in several cases delegates who
favored other candidates, but who
were Instructed for him intended to
vote for him on" one ballot and then
switch.
'I see where I have been invited to
become a vice-presidential nominee,"
Senator Johnson told the newspaper
men. "This Is not the first time and
it is peculiar that the men who make
these invitations apparently think
that I am unfit for the presidency.
We are going right along with our
fight for the presidency."
Referring to a statement credited
to Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, today
that the presidential primaries were
a failure, Senator Johnson said:
Primary Heartily Kavored.
"Where would I be in this race if
it were not for the primary? I am
heartily in favor of the primary. Is
it right to say the people are fit to
choose a president, but are not fit to
choose a nominee? Some time later
however, I intend to offer several
recommendations relative to conduct
ing primaries. These will be along
lines making them more uniform and
reducing the expense."
Senator Johnson said he was by no
means opposed to General Wood's
idea of a single primary day for the
entire country, but at the same did
not Dcueve in is as vital as some other
points.
VILLAGE REST DISTURBED
People Hear ot Wedding and Mold
Noisy Celebration.
NEW YORK, June 5. (Special.)
Inhabitants of the little village of
Roseland. Essex county, N. J., who
sleep soundly, said they awakened this
morning with a vague impression that
war had broken loose during the night
or prohibition had been called off un
expectedly. Everything that could pro
duce a noise, including shotguns, had
produced it.
They learned the cause was this:
Preston Williams. 80, Ha oldest inhab
itant, had married his daughter-in-
law, Mrs. Alleen Williams, whose hus
band, Frank, son of the octogenarian,
died just 30 years ago. True, the
wedding occurred May 17 last, but
what matter? Roseland had just heard
of it and the more wakeful half of the
inhabitants were honoring the event.
FRIENDS INJURE WOOD
(Continued From First Page.)
they may be the controlling influ
ence in a nomination. No candidate.
or his managers, can be blamed for
trying to take ' them into camp
that is to say, no candidate Is no
more to blame than any other candi
date. But the system is wrong now,
as It was always wrong. No real effort
has ever been made to change it. And
it continues to be a quadriennial scan
dal, a standing reproach to the good
faith and right intent of the repub
lican party. The corridors of the
hotels and the lobby of the national
committee headquarters continue to
- be crowded with negro claimants and
their "lily white" antagonists, whose
highest aim is to gain recognition as
the official heads of the republican
party in their respective districts.
; Spectacle Is Indecent.
It is an offensive and indecent spec
tacle and it will not be ended until the
party management addresses itself in
earnest to the task of making the
party in the south respectable and
self-sustaining.
I have said that the committee
strove honestly to' ascertain the facts
and to act accordingly, but it is also
true that nothing has been done to
prevent a recurrence of the many off
color southern embroglios, except to
issue a solemn warning to the "lily
whites" that in future they must not
exclude negroes from their primaries
or conventions.
The color question Is not to be set
tled by political ultimata which are
forgotten as soon as the convention
adjourns and new hands take hold of
the party machinery.
Now as to Senator Moses, he in
volved General Wood in new and
needless embarrassment by his attack
on the committee. He made It hard
for the supporters of Wood on the
committee to defend themselves be
fore Wood or their fellow members.
They did not try it; on the contrary,
they excoriated Moses. General Wood
himself felt obliged to. disclaim any
purpose to blame the committee. The
whole affair took the aspect of an
unseemly quarrel between the Wood
manager and the Wood committeemen
which does not bode well for the gen
eral's success next week. Certainly
the effect will be to diminish the en
thusiasm . of some of .them for the
Wood cause.
Convention la Leaderlesa.
Senator Penrose will not come to
the convention. The fact has been
given a prominence which It does not
deserve except Insofar as it illustrates
a condition. Whatever else may be
said about Penrose, he is a leader a
leader of the old guard, if you please
but yt a leader. With Penrose gone
It will be a leadi'rtess convention,
With Penrose her It may be doubted
If the convention would follow him:
but through him or some other of his
power and prestige, issues as to the
platform would h defined "and t
lines between the various
would be sharply drawn.
It is not so much that Penrose
himself will be missed as that the
methods and practices which be rep
resents will be to a great extent
missing. He would supply something
which has been present in every con
vention in the history of the. repub
lican party and every other party.
You hear talk about the old guard
and the new idea, but one would have
a hard time in classifying either of
them. You would mention Johnson
no doubt as the embodiment of the
progressive forces or what is left of
them. But Johnson is not Roosevelt
and does not stand in his shoes. He
is tied hand and foot to the old Rimers
of his delegation and he is just now
no enemy of Penrose and what he
stands for.
Agreement la Scented.
On the contrary, it is known, that
there is some kind of an underground
understanding between Johnson and
Penrose and there is or was an ex
pectancy that Johnson and1 Penrose
would somehow at some time nexi
week benefit by the Penrose presence
and the Penrose facility for manipu
lation and accommodation.
Penrose would like to see Knox
nominated and next to himself John
son would like it, too. It is hinted
that Johnson would even agree to go
on the ticket as candidate for vice
president with Knox as the nominee
for the presidency, but there is only
the slimmest chance that his sup
posed willingness will be put to the
test.
I am not able to discover that the
Johnson candidacy is growing or that
the delegates, however much they
may be disinclined to write on Wood
or Lowden, are yielding to the impor
tunities of his friends. What John
son has he holds by slender ties; what
he will get must be by a great tri
umph, through sheer force of a strong
personality or of a live issue, operat
ing on uncertain and timorous minds.
over forces which are normally hos
tile to him and what he represents.
Delegates Oppose Johnson.
I have met more than one delegate
instructed for him who says openly
he is not for Johnson. It is so in
North Dakota, in Indiana, in Oregon
and doubtless elsewhere. It may be
even so in California, though I do
not at all assert it. But it is true
that the Johnson-or-nobody spirit is
not strong in the delegation. There
has been something of a hullabaloo
about California's demands, but the
uproarious days of California against
the world are gone.
It is a comparatively meek, cub-
missive and modest California. Its
friends do not recognize it. Senator
Poindexter is here and with him
Jonathan Bourne, maker of senators
and presidents. I do not think that
Mr. Bourne or Mr. Poindexter is un
der any illusions about the senator's
dubious prospects. They are taking
long chance, a favorite indoor sport
of Mr. Bourne. They figure that
when the convention has canvassed
every other possibility or availability
and failed to agree, it will turn to
the Washington senator. In the
word3 of the old song, it may be so,
it may be so, but it sounds like a
hazy dream. I would not write dis
respectfully, indeed, of the Poindex
ter proposal, for in truth the senator
has conducted himself here with dig
nity and decorum. He has unques
tionably achieved a high place in the
senate.
Candidacy ever)beleaa Futile
But all this does not lessen the
weight of the facts about the futility
of his candidacy. The convention is
not thinking in terms of geography,
perhaps, but It will think of it when
it is called upon to consider Poindex
ter of the remote Pacific northwest.
Besides, it has enough to think about
In Johnson of California, which is
also some distance from the center
of things. The Washington delega
tion is determined to give Poindexter
a fair show in response to the appeal
to stay by him till the break cornes:
So it will not leave him as soon as
some have thought it would.
The convention asembles on Tues
day and it will probably be in ses
sion all the week. Those hopeful
souls who are nursing sundry dark
horses in the stalls of their fancies
are wisely predicting that the ses
sions will be carried over until the
next week. It will take four or five
days, they say, for Wood, Johnson
and Lowden to kill one another off,
and then will come the opportunity
for the grand coup for the waiting un
known. Platform May Start Fight.
The surest prospect of a long con
vention, however, lies in an extended
controversy over the platform. The
senatorial engineers have kindly vol
unteered to take that difficult task
off the convention's hands and have
brought an already-made affair from
Washington, lacking only the finish
ing touches of the many master hands
which have been doing the job.
Certainly the senatorial platform
will speak well of the senate's actions
in the league of nations and in the
minor congressional disputes with
the president. But there are other
things to be said. The convention '
may take a notion to say them for
itself.

are delegates uninstructed. without
pledges and without personal prefer

various states. They have been
brought togther by a few of the old
guard leaders, who have an under
standing with each other and with
the delegates whom they are bring

very loose and intangible. It is not in
favor of any candidate and goes no
farther than merely an assent to act
as a group under a common leader

As the opening day of the conven

exercise the balance of power.

in this tug-of-war between Wood
and Lowden the tendency will be for
all to unite against Wood. .The whole
convention will become, for a few
ballots. Wood and anti-Wood. In this
tug-of-war It is comparatively easy to
foresee a time when Wood, with del
egates that he has and delegates that
he may get out of the fourth group,
may reach as high as 400 or 430. It
is possible, but not easy to see how
he can get enough to nominate him
if the balance or power group re
mains steadfast a.-.atnst him. -
If Wood is prevented from winning,
the balance of power group will then
decide whether to name Lowden or
to substitute one of the dark horses
in place of Lowden. If they regard
their situation as dangerous, they will
name Lowden and be done with It
If they have sufficient confidence in
their power, they will probably pick
another. Even this tentative outline

hesitates to set it down. To go far
