Declaring that, as nt presont slttint

gntlon to the republican national con
vention, Governor Hiram Johnson
today, In a statement to tho tinltcd
Press declacod,iha-progrcsslvcs will
forego their advantage and that ho
will Includo in hls;cnll fqan extra
soslo;i tlio dbmand for a presiden
tial primary. -Following Is Governor
Johnson's summing up of tho polit
ical situation In California nnd-' his
declaration of tho action ho and his
follow progressives aro to tnko.
(By Hiram W. JohnBon, Governor
of California.)
Tho direct primary law, given tis
In 1309, contained a Joker designed
to continue and perpotunto In 1912
tho power of tho old Southern Pa
cific machine. This provision t,iB
that tho county conventions which
should bo B.olcctedn 1910 should bo
called togotjter 'again In 1912, and
these countyco'nvcirllmis flhW-'ee-lect
delegates to a stato convention,
which in turn should chooso dele
gates to the national convention. Of
course, at tho tlmo of tho enact
ntont of the law In 1909 tho old
Southern Pacific political machlno
looked forward confidently nnd com
placently to the usual result in 1910
by which It would control moat of
the county conventions and tho statu
convention as woll.
Tho political rovolution or 1910,
however, upset tho plans of thoso
who havo ruled our politics for so
many years and tho progresslvo
wing ot tho republican party, after
Its extraordinary victory In tho direct
primary of 1910, found Itself In pos
session not only ot tho nominations
but of tho party control and control
ot county conventions of tho stato.
By inheritance that which was
moant to perpetuate tho old mnchlno
canto to tho progrosslvo wing of tho
republican party and today tho pro
gressive wing of tho ropublloait par
ty has control ot tho maohluory of
tho party In tho stato and lit a groat
majority ot tlio county convontlona
ot tho state. Tho law was permitted
by the last loglslatttro to romaln as
tho mnchlno had given to us becauso
It was known that a spooial session
of tho legislature was to bo called.
Tho political situation In tho stato ot
California Is Just this:
Tho progrosslvo3 ot tho republican
party nro in control of that party'B
machinery and thoy can, by simply
oboying tho law which was enacted
by their oppouonts, sond a solid dele
gation to tho national republican
convention for Senator Robert M.
La Follotto.
Tho question prosontod Is whotbor
tho progrowlvo republicans ot tlio
state, with this power, glvon by a
machlno law, which by pootlo Justlco
hoists tho old maohlno with its own
poturd should tnko affirmative no
tion and should enact anothor and a
deflntto law whioh would yield tho
ndvantago thoy possoss. Of coureo,
If tho roaotlonarlos In California
hold tho ndvantago that tho progres
sives now hold, thoy would simply
laugh dorlslvoly at any roquost for a
presidential profor. nco primary.
In every stnto In tho union whoro .
tho roaotlonarlos nro In control tho
people aro domandlng u direct pri
mary for prosldont, tho reactionaries
stolidly and defiantly deny that pri
mary, Tho only states. in tbo union
whoro a presidential preferonco pri
mary is accordod nro In prqgros$',vo
states whoro progressive nro In con
trol, That a psosldontlal proferonco
primary Is Just, nobody can deny,
and bp wo will torggo que ndvan
tago and onll tor u presidential pri
mary.
