Ths open breach be tween the ProfresslT and Republican leaders was widened - by Governor Hughes' visit to California.

This message stated; that under no circumstances would the California delegation ron ' sent to cast Its vote for Theodore Roosevelt. It was generally known In Chicago that this message was sent, and it In sensed the Progressive delegates from the state of California. They claimed that the Republican old guard had no leslre ' whatever to consulate or co operate with the Progressives. This , wss the beginning ot the had feeling that later developed In California when open hostility ' between Crocker and Powell became a subject of newspaper . comment. . Ho Zffort to Unite Made. The members of the Republican state central committee almost to a man were hostile to Johnson's candi dacy to the United Stales senate. The committee utterly failed to placate r the Progressives, nor did it make any serious attempt (o unite the Repub lican and Progressive parties In Cali fornia Into one powerful organisation. The Republican state central com mittee seemed to be absolutely cock sure that "JohnsonUm" snd the Pro gressive party in this state had been eliminated from the political arena that the voters of the state had utterly . abandoned the Progressive party and would not under any circumstances , sustain Hiram Johnson and his po litical ambitions. Every reader of the Call Is familiar with the trip of Chester Rowell to T ort land .to meet Governor Hughes, snd everybody knows thst Rowell was dissatisfied .with what he accom plished on that trip. light Coat Presidency. . Tt Is true that when the Hughes meeting was held st the Civic Audi torium, Rowell appeared on the stage with National Committeeman Crocker, . but he appeared not as a welcome as sociate, of the .Republican leaders of California, but plainly and openly many thousands of votes in the state of California. Totem Determined Bsralt, When Governor Johnson was chosen as the Republican nominee for . the United States senatorshlp and his fol lowers secured control of the state central committee, the oid guard Re publican leaders realised that harmony was absolutely necessary for the elec tion of Governor Hughes. Before that, their energy In Immediately winning situation of his wo Mormon state. , It has . been auspicloned for come weeks past. In the campaign Just closed, that the Mormon Church is out of politics. '' It Is 00 longer pre-eminently a religions Institution, but it Is one of the most flourishing and pow erful --- financial institutions in the world. - . j. The men at the head of 1 the Mpr raon church, like .all financiers, have evidently concluded not to be con nected irrevocably with either one of the 'great oolitica parties, so the Mormon chJrch kept out of politics during the recent campaign.. Reed Bmoot, stalwart Republican, did not deliver Utah to Governor Hughes, but Utah, with its women voters, turned against Hughes and went to Wilson. Campaign Idserafely Managed. - In no states of the Union were the campaigns for Hughes so miserably managed as in the States of Cali fornia and Utah. , Had the Republican leaders spent rigntlngi for his Just rights Governor Hughes and Governor j Johnson' were In the Virginia hotel at 7 Ixjng Beach at the same time. Gov- time they had conducted the Republi can affairs of the state of California as though the only issue at stake was one of eliminating Hiram Johnson from political power and driving him out of the Republican party. After Johnson was nominated for the sena torshlp, the Republican leaders accept ed the situation with bad grace. It Is true that from that time on all of the Republican leaders of both stal wart and Progressive factions, coop erated for the election of Charles E. Hughes, but the voters of the state had already been Incensed at tha early campaign treatment accorded Governor Johnson, and particularly at his treat ment ky Governor Hughes when the latter visited this state, and now the California voters have determined the result. &aek of Sagacity Shown. Johnson showed by his strength how utterly foolish the old guard Republi can leaders were In a political way. They had a chance cordially to wel come the Progressive party back into the Republican fold. They failed In their party duty and showed a woeful lack of political sagacity. In New York, the Progressives and Republican loyally and harmoniously cooperated during the entire campaign. In Chicago the Progressive and Repub lican leaders Immediately got together and carried the state of Illinois over whelmingly for Governor Hughes. After the nomination of Johnson for the senate and the peace between the Republican factions, tnen of public spirit and influence wrote to Repub lican leaders In the east and begged them to send speakers snd literature to the middle west and Pacific coast Johnson's Efforts Were Tain. They asked for Roosevelt. They did not get him or any other spaker of national weight or prominence. They were told that Johnson would surely carry the state of California for Gov ernor Hughes. "What Is the use of wasting money snd effort in the far west?" said the managing members of the national committee. They thought that the west was "hog-tied." Johnson did not carry California. The voters of he state carried Cali fornia for Johnson, but they , did not carry California for Hughes. John son tried his very best to carry Cali fornia for Hughes, but the handicap which the leaders of the Republican party had put upon htm at the begin ning of the campaign, by their very treatment of Johnson himself, evi dently was not forgotten by the voters. Smoot Bldat Know Own State. In Utah the Republican national committee Was just as certain of that state as it was of California. Reed Smoot assured the national committee that Utah was for, Governor Hughes and would go Republican as it had gone for years before, but evidently Reed Smoot did not know the political back into tne Republican fold all Pro gressive Republicans instead of mak ing a determined effort to crush oat of existence once and for all the very name of "Progressive" the Paclfie coast would not have gone for Wilson. No candidate for the presidency has ever failed of success because of such petty and paltry politics as Governor Hughes. In California he has been the victim of foolish politics and of his own failure to realise the true conditions when he was in the state of Califor nia. The Republican national committee carried the east because it made . a most intelligent and strenuous cam paign, by which the voters were fully Informed through newspaper adver tising and by speakers of national reputation, as to the real Issues of the campaign.

In these states practically no newspaper advertising was dons by the national committee. Any one of these states could have been carried for Hughes by an intelligent educational campaign But the real tragedy of the Hughe campaign Is right here in the state of California. Undoubtedly Governor Hughes realises now that he might have been president of the United States had he sent for Governor John son when they were both together In the Virginia hotel at Long Beach.

There were 15. 337,809 acres of vacant public lands in Oregon open to settlement July 1, 1916. a decrease of 104,389 acres from a year before and 632,037 acres decrease from two years before, figures compiled by Labor Commissioner Hoff show. Only 257,713 acres are situated in western Oregon and an almost negligible part of that area is suitable for practical homesteadlng. There is an abundant opportunity for settlement in eastern Oregon, where 320 acre homesteads may be secured. The settler should fortify himself with a surplus of funds to provide necessities of life and Improvements on his property before making an attempt, Hoff advises.

With the Multnomah county vote complete, which ran heavily against the amendment, and the other counties of the state voting for it there seems to be little doubt of the state swing ing into the absolutely dry column. Much Interest has been aroused over the question of when the bone dry amendment will become effective, Jn case it has been adopted by the elect ors. The supreme court, in the case of State vs. Holman, laid down the rule that a constitutional amendment took effect. If adopted by the voters, when the polls closed on election day, contending that the '.counting of the ballots and the issuance of the gov ernor's proclamation were simply min isterial acts.

How Other Acts Fared. The brewers' amendment, the Pen dleton normal bill and the full rental land tax amendments were defeated. The anti-compulsory vaccination bill has apparently carried, it having with available figures a lead of 4530 af firmative votes. The single item veto, ctitp tax ex emption, negro suffrage, Sunday clos ing, rural credits and tax limitation amendments have all been adopted by substantial majorities. R. P. Hutton, superintendent Anti- Saloon league, made the following statement today: As an expression of advanced pub lic opinion on the liquor question the bene dry law Is a mile post. In order to be easily enforceable the legislature will have to adopt legislation making the point of delivery to tho consignee the point of sale and limiting to very small amounts the liquor which may legally be In possession. The Anti-Saloon league pointed out the necessity for these and asked that if a counter measure was to be launched at this time they be Included. "We were unsuccessful, but hope that the legislature will see fit to amend' th law as may be suggested by Attorney General George M. Brown, in whose. ability and'- proven Joyalt J to practical prohlbtlon we' have the fullest confidence. Our attorney will cooperate under his leadership, as also will the district attorneys of the state. we are tola by members of that organisation. "Tho points) above noted are In the famous West Virginia dry law and are tho ones upon which it has won ail tb way to the supreme court, where It has been pending for nearly two years with no decision, although it has been twice argued and twice submitted on brief, the last time with 15 other states, including Oregon, submitting supporting briefs as ami cus curia or friends of the court. That case will settle the right of states to enact "absolute prohibition." The Kentucky cases were lost because their law did not prohibit possession as well as importation. We are glad for this expression of the people's win and feel sure the legislature will be glad to add any necessary regula tions to make it effective."
