Jt a not only legally unsound, but econo nomically, morally and patriotically necessary and indispensable that we immediately repeal the declaration of economy government the time is favorable for considering such changes in the Pen dleton city charter aa may work to these ends. It has become a recognized fact that in a town of this size the policy of having- a city commission and a city manager, the manager employed by and working under the direction of the commission, produces better results than may be reasonably expected un der Jhe councilmanic plan of govern ment. For More F.ffieionoy. "Among the merits attributed to the commission government-city manager plan are a reduction in the number of officials, thus making it easier to se cure competent men for the places to be filled ;a closer fixing of responsi bility: a truer representation of the en- bert Hoover. "I'm surprised that un der the circumstances,' the statement read, "so large a vote should have been cast for delegates favoring my nomination. "With a group of amateur clubs only among the fold, they were, of course, handicapped In opposing a regular party organization, but tho real situation is that the people of California have been much torn be tween their loyalty and friendship to the senator for his able rescue of the state during his governorship from vi cious corporation control and his too narrow vision of our international af fairs. The fact that in these circum stances more than a third of the party protested against this latter view should strengthen support of the re publican majority in the senate.

Cali fornia wants Johnson for president. Incomplete but clearly Indicative' re turns from every county In the state show that Johnson has 293, 885 votes and Hoover 158.8 90. The voters did not take the trouble to scratch the ballots, so Johnson will have a. com plete set of 26 California delegates at the Chicago convention. Johnson carried northern cities by majorities of two, three and even four to one. Hoover apparently carried Kings and Ventura counties by small majorities, but his vote In southern California was by no means as large as his managers expected. Late returns indicate that Johnson won in Los Angeles county. He Is now leading there by 4150. votes. Claim Record Victory. A statement from Johnson heod ,iuartera declared that the senator's victory is the "greatest triumph In California politics." "He has defeated Hoover by over 100.000. more than he ever defeated any other man who op posed him In a primary in this state. California offers the nation the great est executive the state ever had. a progressive legislator, who is sane, not radical."
