Oovernor Hiram W. Johnson is doing tho Davd stunt this month in Cali fornia with nil the political parties aligned against him as tho Uollath. Iinnglno a campaign, If you can, with republicans, domocrnts, sodlal Ists, prohibitionists, nnd nil other kinds of partisans, lined up together on a common platform. On tho other sldo is Hiram W. Johnson. There nro others with him, but mainly men ho has lifted Into of fice. It Is Johnson against political par ties In stato affairs. At the last session of the legisla ture n law was passed providing that honcororth all stato officials shall he elected without party designation. In a word, nuyonu may run for state office. There shall bo but ono ticket nt tho prlmnry, that tlckot to contain the nnmes of nil candidates without any party nominations or em blems. Tor Instance, If thero are flvo condldntoa for governor In the pri mary, tho two receiving the highest voto will be the rival candidates at tho final election. U One or the flvo should rccelvo n majority of all tho votes ciiKt moro than tho combined voto of tho other four ho would bo declared elected at tho primary. For 20 years nonpartlsaiisblp hns ruled In county and city elections, nnd tho results, as a whole, hnvo been satisfactory. Tho law has now been referred to tho people for their approval or re jection. Tho voto on October 2C will settle It. Governor Johnson hns taken tho stump for tho law. Ho declares tho law will not kill . polltlcnl parties, since senators and congressmen will cnntlniio to bo chose uthrough polit ical conventions and prlninrles ns tho representatives or national Issues. Ho holds that a better class of stato of ficials will bo chosen when elections mo relieved ot the doinlnniico ot par ty committees. Thero will bo no more parly bosslsm, ho declares, when local and state candidates aro elected In a frco for all election. Tho governor holds that what was known as tho old Southern Pacific railroad machine, which hold tho state within Its grips for cnrs, was nothing other than tho republican party organization gouo Into corrupt hands. The opposition to the law Is led by men now connected with party com mittees. Tho socialist party proba bly Is the greater contender for party organizations. Nonpartisan elections, It Is urged, will glvo rich men tho upper hand In seeking office -that tho poor, but worthy man will not haven chance becaiiho of tho tremen dous necessary expensn of a cam paign; whereas, In the past, n poor but worthy man was backed by a par ty organization and elevated to of- jfS&tf MfxjHk.
