Senator Hiram Johnson
Senator Hiram Johnson

fint of uric of article dlacnnlns facta mora
or lesa pertinent abont presidential candidate,
real and potential. Today' article haa to do
with Hiram Johnson. The (ubject of cut
Sunday' sketch If A. Mitchell Palme.
By O. Ooald Llneola
(Ooprrlcbt. XB20. by the Waahlnstoa Sti.)
JUST as a sporting proposition.
Imagine that Hiram Johnson, sena
tor from California, haa received the
Republican nomination and a IRtle later
has been elected president of these Unit
ed States by an admiring and apprecia
tive people. There Is one safe bet, at
least, that can be made. On an after
noon In the early spring of 1921 Hiram
Johnson will be found at American
League park an the opening day of the
baseball season, firmly grasping a brand
new ball, ready to toss It Into the wait
ing hands of one Walter Johnson. The
League of Nations is a stench In the
nostrils of the California senator but
the American league or the National
league, that's another matter.
More than a quarter of a century art),
when Hiram Johnson was a good deal
slimmer than he Is today, he used to
pitch, himself. He tried his hand at
tossing 'em over with considerable suc
cess while he was an undergraduate at
the University of California. And his
love for the game has never flagged. It
used to be a by-word In California that
If you wanted to find Hiram Johnson
all you had to do was to go to the
ball park.
While he no longer goes In for
games himself. Senator Johnson Is keen
ly Interested In all kinds of sports. He
hasn't the time to play golf, and he
hasn't the build for tennis, the game
about which his former running mate,
Theodore Roosevelt, btillt himself up a
"cabinet" while he was In ths White
House. The California!! is a prodigious
worker. He Is always writing speeches
and making speeches, writing letters and
drafting bills, working at his commit
tees at the senate. When he can get a
little spare time he and Mrs. Johnson
wander off to the "movies." He's al
most as much of a movie "fan" as a
baseball "fan." He admits t himself.
ELECTED TO 8EWATB
Senator Johnson entered upon his du-
tles In Washington In April, 101?. Just
before this country went Into the great
war. Re has found for himself and
Mrs. Johnson one of the most attractive
homee In and about the capital the Cal
vert mansion, at Rlverdale, Md., few
miles Outside of Washington. It Is a
fine old house that m colonial days
belonged to Lord Baltimore.
When Senator Johnson took it over,
the house was standing vacant It had
been used in recent years as a kind of
wayside inn. Some of the furniture In
the mansion belongs to the colonial per
lod. too. It has a beautiful garden.
which Senator Johnson has replanted,
And there, on a Sunday afternoon In
summertime, you are apt to find the sen
ator, surrounded by his books and pa
pers, with his pipe, for which he has a
great affection, clinched tightly In his
teeth.
ACTIVE ITT IATT
Callfornlane will tell you that Hiram
Johnson has, for the last 20 years, been
one of the leading lawyers of the state.
The most famous case with which he
has been connected was that of "Abe"
Ruef and the grafters ring In San Fran.
Cisco, not long after the great earth
quake and fire in 1906. Dramatically,
he stepped into the trial after Francis J,
Heney, the bulwark of the prosecution.
had been shot down m the court room
and carried the case through, putting
the grafters in jail. But Senator John
eon today is not a wealthy man.. He has
made a good living, of course. But,
while lining without ostentation, he has
always lived well. He and Mrs. John
son have successfully brought up two
sons, both of them now lawyers like
their father, though one of them has
more lately been a major of artillery In
France, and served at Chateau-Thierry
and other battlefields.
ROOSEVELT'S EtHTirTKO MATS
When the Progressives, In 19H, select
ed Hiram Johnson as a running mate
for Colonel Roosevelt, naming him as
their candidate for vice president, they
picked him as a fighter and as governor
of a state that under his leadership was
fast bgcoming one of the most progres
sive states in the union. He was chosen
governor of the state In 1910, when he
was selected to be the standard bearer
of the Lincoln-Roosevelt club.
His promise during the campaign was
that he "would kick the Southern Pa
clflo out of politics." I asked him the
other cay If the railroad was still out
of politics. "Absolutely," was the em
phatic reply. And then he said that
while he was in California not long. ago
a friend had told him that one of the
railroad's mainstays, a man who had
fought Johnson tooth and toenail In the
old days, had admitted to him that the
ejection of the road from politics was

PBOOKESSTTB TETTDEJCCIES
There was considerable speculation
when Hiram Johnson came vast to K
in the senate aa to what he would do. He
had been heralded aa a "radical." the
man who had put laws on the statute
books of California for the initiative.
referendum and recall, for an eight-hour
work day for women, tor an adequate
workmen's compensation for thoee in
jured in industry, for woman suffrage,
for efficient regulation of public utilities,
His record has not been that of a radi
cal, however. Perhaps, like other radi
cals, he has been tamed down a little
by the senate. But he haa not laid aside
the mantle of progressivum, which he
wore when he "stood at Armageddon"
with Roosevelt. In fact, the Congres
sional Directory still dubs him a "Re
publican and Progressive." He has
voted with the progressive wing of his
party in the senate.
"What." I asked him. "do you consider
the most far-reaching and Important of
the progressive laws which were enacted
in your administration in California?"
(ho served as governor lor hail a aosen
years).
UW AXD BU8I2TESS
"That." he answered, "would be dif
ficult to say. They are H part of a
program which was needed to bring a
very backwod state abreast of other
more progressive states. I can say, how
ever, that these laws which come or our
most influential business men declared
would ruin the state have proved a
great success: I remember that before
I signed ..the woman's eight-hour law
some of these men cried and told me
that it would ruin business. But It
hasn't. These laws are -Intended to hu
manize, to remove the spots in the com
monwealth. The real cure for radical
ism," he concluded, "is to reform the
conditions that create the radical."
Senator Johnson is not sure that the
Initiative, referendum and recall would
work effectively if applied to federal
government, owing largely to the great
divergence in state laws relating to vot
ing. He 'believes, however, that it should
be adopted In all the states, and that
there should be machinery established
to refer questions of vast importance to
the people for their decision for In
stance, the League of Nations.
While Senator Johnson has given most
of his time to ths questions of foreign
relations since the war ended, he is a
member of the senate railMary ' affairs
committee, charged with handling the
army reorganization btlL He believes in
military training for the young men of
the country, and says that we must have
some kind of training, though he has
not yet determined upon the details.
A NATIVE SOX
Senator Johnson Is a native of Cali
fornia. He was born In Sacramento a
little over 53 years ago. His family had
moved there from New York state about
a year before his birth. Grove L. John
son, his father, is living today, and, if
reports are to be credited, is anxious to
become a delegate to the Republican
national convention next June, and to be
the first father on record to nominate
his own son for the presidency. On both
his father's side and his mother's. Sena
tor Johnson can trace his ancestry back
to revolutionary and colonial days In
America, and some of his ancestors took
part in the revolutionary war on the
side of the colonists.
Just who Senator Johnson was named
for is not on the public records. But
Hiram Johnson smacks of "down East"
rather than the Pacific slope. His orig
inal namesake was asking of Tyre, about
1014 B. C, a friend of David and Solo
mon. Biblical names in the White
House, however, are. not altogether a
novelty. Hiram helped Solomon build
his temple, and It Is written in the Bible i
"And the Lord gave , Solomon wisdom
as he promised him; and there was
peace between Hiram and Solomon ; and
they two made a league together."
, The Hiram ef today, however has been
one of the most bitter opponents of the
League of Nations covenant, and if he
makes a campaign it win be with the
league covenant as an issue, -
1111 CAMPAIGN KXCALLED
The Johnson temperament in Califor
nia la a byword. It permits no obstacle.
It la said. It there la to be a fight, then
lcok out for fur flying.. They tell a
story of a ruction between Senator John
son and his brother, on the one side, and
his father, on the Other, over some mu
nicipal affairs, when the senator and his
brother were young men. It was a fin
ish fight with, no let up on either side.
I asked a Callfornlan, a member of con
gress, what was the outstanding charac
teristic of Hiram Johnson as he saw It,
and he answered without hesitation,
"Courage." Not all Callfornlans think
alike about Senator Johnson, however,
and some of them dislike him Intensely.
But that they are in the minority is easy
to see when it is recalled that he was
elected to the senate by a majority of
296,000 votes, the greatest majority any
senator ever received In a contested state
since the senators have been elected by
popular vote, '
While Senator Johnson was being
elected by this huge majority, the Re
publican candidate for president, Mr.
Hughes, was running behind Woodrow
Wilson, his Democratic opponent, in
California, by about J600. Johnson's
enemies were not stow In declaring that
he had "thrown down" Blughea. But this
has been vehemently denied tor the Re
publican state committee. -THE
JOHXSOH COOK
They tell a story of Hiram . Johnson
and his cook, a Chinaman, who has been
in the Johnson employ for many years.
When the earthquake tore everything
loose In California, and actual cash was
scarce, the cook tossed a bag of money
he had stored away into the family pooL
Later Senator Johnson was a candidate
for governor. A representative of a labor
union suggested to him that it would
be as well to get rid of the Chinese
cook, the feeling being strong against
Asiatic labor.
"My dear man." replied Senator John
son, "if I must give up either the gov
ernorship or my cook, I prefer to give up
the governorship."
The cook is at Calvert mansion with
the Johnsons today. He may be ths
first Chinese cook In ths White House.
As a general proposition, bosses are
not much in Senator Johnson's line. But
there Is one boss he yields to -his wife.
He almost always refers to Mrs. John
son, when talking with his friends, aa
"the boss." Few men have been so
happy In their married life perhaps
many of them haven't the good sense to
recognise their "boss." Mrs. Johnson
takes a keen interest In measurea before
the senate,, and spends almost as roucfli
time in the chamber as her husbaod.
JASTIDIOtS IK DBES9
Senator Johnson Is fastidious ta hit
dreas, and is a great stickler for the
proper kind of clothes. He stands about
five feet nine Inches tall and weighs in .
the neighborhood of 190 pounds. There
is ne doubt about his "'bay window."
