Chicneo, Xov. JS. Hiram Johnson's
political guns, which last niglit fired t.ie
opening shots of hitt cainpaiKu for the re
publican nomination for president, were
(met today, nwuitms the answering vol
ley of his opponent h. ;
Johnson's national political headquart
ers m ft prominent down-town hotel to
day, were practically deserted. Hpokea-
men for the California senator mm there
would be "nothing doing for a time, at
least."
In a speech formally declaring the
platform on which he will go before the
people, .Johnson challenged the adminis
tration of President Coolidge to explain
the advantages of American participation
in Kuropean affairs, pleaded vigorously
for a soldiers' bonus, agricultural relief,
reduction of the income tax on incomes
under $10,000 and attacked the supreme
court for its ruling on the women a mini
mum wage law.
Mays Bntisn.
Iteferrine to the recent attempt to gefr
the Lmted Htates into a reparation con
ference. senator Johnson said:
"What Great Hritnin wants. Is to get
mcrica'n money and man power, back of
the conference. If Germany refuses to
pay, Tvloyd George and others wonid have
expected us to aid in the march to Ber
lin, he satu.
Xothing will so quickly destroy
nartr nnd undermine confidence in
government as broken promises." said
Senator Johnson, referring to the sol
diers' bonus. "If wc had not intended to
pass the No-called bonus law, we should
have said so. Wc deferred doing what we
promised to do. I have before me fig
ures of the treasury, it the figures arc
correct we mny do our duty by the ol
diers nnd strll reduce taxation," he declared.
Sneaking on the farmers problems,
Senator Johnson said.
Discusses Farmers.
Our farmers have suffered from In
trigues In the uinrkot. They have Buf
fered from man inu illations and railroad
charges. They have suffered from the
failure of our government to secure on
behalf of their cooperative marketing
societies a fair nnd full opportunity to
develop and advance. '
Utir statesman now m many cases en
deavor to persua,de the farmer that what
he needs is a league of nations or some
other preposterous and futile method of
expanding markets, while all tne time tne
difficulty in that the profits from those
supposed expanded markets, would, m
present circumstances, go, not to him
but to others.
The difficulties now confronting
many of our farmers, our domestic taxes,
rue present cuhuuioii umi me iiiitiie uiv
veloiiment of our railroads these mat
ters. indeed, are worthy of our closest,
attention and they will have it," he said.
Ioval banks may not have the total de
posits boasted by New York financial in
stitutions, but they have as much, if not
more, business, according to Clarence
H. Neshir nf rho National Hank of Com
merce of New York, here yesterday, lien
reasons tliusly:
His bank has total deposits of WO--
(HtO.OOO, and 50S1 accounts have all this
money credited to them. A local Dann
that he took as his examnle has deposits
of $3,i!50,(H)0, or one-hundredth of this
sum, and has ialiuO snvmgs accounts nnu
.Ml checking accounts. J his makes al-
niost twice us much business for but
one per cent nf the money his concern
bandits in a day.
Incidentally, his bank has more stock
holders than it has accounts on its books.

Dallas, Texas, Nov. 28. Snow, rang
ing from half tin inch to S Inches, cover
ed the entire Texas panhandle today.
Amarillo reported 8 inches, perryton 0
inches nnd Plainview 3 inches. Snow
continued falling today. Cold weather
prevailed throughout west. Texas.
Cotton onen in the fields will bp dam

west Texas crop has been picked it U
believed the benefit to wheat and other
crops will more than offset the dainugo.

less, hero merely a Japanese fireman
from the stokehold of the Shinkiku
ularu, now pounding herself to pieces
on the rocks of Montague island gave
his life Tuesday when he attempted to
swim ashore with a me line.
Purser Suzuki of tho Japanese freight
er, who with 42 members of the crew,
was landed here by the tug ilmnaconna,
reports that the Japanese fireman was
the only fatality of the wreck, although
the vessel's captain, his two small sons
nnd four members of ihe crew still re
main a hoard the vessel and their position
is precarious.
Tbe dead fireman was the first to
volunteer to swim ashore with a lit1
line. He sprang overboard, but the heavy
seas dashed him against the rocks sur
rounding the St ranged ship nnd pounded
him to death. Hi body disappeared iu
the icy waters.
It was several hours later that a line
was put ashore and a breeches buoy
righted, by which the members of the
crew now here reached shore.
Simiki said that when the party of
survivors left the wreck the gale was
moderating slightly. He thought the ves
sel would be a total loss but that prob
ably part of her $"-M00,000 cargo of raw
silk might be salvaged.
