"Among the merits attributed to the

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.

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

the Chicago convention.
Johnson carried northern cities by
majorities of two, three and even four

Kings and Ventura counties by small
majorities, but his vote In southern
