"This Is notwithstanding the Johnson men have been very active In southern Oregon. Raymond Rob bins, one of 'Johnson's campaigners, spoke at Albany Thursday night to possibly 150 people and aroused com paratively little enthusiasm. "One thing stands out clearlv an1 plainly in the pre-prlmary battle throughout the states of the vinion This Is that In no state where Woo. I has competed with 'Johnson rare to face and on even terms has be failed o win a pronounerd vlctnrv. That Oregon will go tor l.eonard Wood by a large majority, since Hoover ha withdrawn. Is my belie! beyond question, and that he will be nomin ated at the Chicago convention is practically a tertalnty. "One of the verv notieeable thing In the campaign throughout western Oregon is that the friends of Wood are also the friends of Frank lxw tlen.
