Han Francisco, who ha keen In

same mission, took occaaloa to com
ment on the tale that I told here
about by soma of the manager of
Senator Johnson' opponent to the
effect that tho Callforalaa deliber
ately betrayed Justice Hagaea In
California In mi.
"Political whisperers everywhere,'
Lonnon said, "sttm to take great
pleasure In repeating- tha untruth
that Hiram Johnson, candidate Cor
the Republican nomination to tho
presidency, helped defeat Charles
Kvans Hughes In California In 1911.
It is not strange, therefore, to find
this story told-In Oregon.
"I say the story Is an untruth be
cause thn facts of the 1918 situation
In California arc tbenc and they
show beyond nil doubt that Johnson,
rather than having helped defeat
Hughes, did everything within his
Power to aid him. even after the

his chance for the senatorial nomin
ation against Willis Booth of Los
Angeles.
"Chester Rowe and William H.
Crocker In 1918 each, hold places as
California representatives on the Re
publican national committee, Row
ell representing the Progressiva ele
ment and Crocker the Old Guard.
Together, they seat a wire to Wi'.llaan
R. Wlllcox, the then chalrmalT aa- the
national committee, asking blra to
request Charles E. Hughes, the Re
publican candidate for the presi
dency, not to come to California un
til after the senatorial primaries. In
which Senator Johnson wa a con
testant. They explained that tor Hughes to
come to California before lb pri
maries would be for him to expose
himself to possible defeat, ainco he
might be taken over by one taction
and thus Incur the enmity of the
other. Despite this request, which
Wlllcox endorsed approvingly and
forwarded to Hughes, and despite the
fact that Rowell, at the Inatance of
Johnson and Wlllcox, came to Oregon
to ask Hughes to reconsider his In
tention to come to California before
the primaries. Hughes came on.
"When be arrived there he waa
taken over horse, toot and artillery
by the Old Guard, on the advice of
Francis VKeesllng. a defeated can
didate for lieutenant-governor, who
was Booth's campaign manager; and
progressives were shut out from even
seeing Hughe.
"Johnson sensed the Injury, that
would come to Hughe threugh: this
mismanagement of his tight, aad he
sent word to Hughe aaktair permis
sion to preside at a Hughe meeting.
This request did not reach Hughes,
Keesllng Intercepting It and answer
ing to the effect, that Johnson was
merely trying 'to, align himself with
Hughes to bolster up his own fight.
"In the taca of this rebuff John
aon again aent word aaklng to pre
side at Hughes' meeting in Sacra
mento, his last in California. Again
ho was denied.
"Thereupon Johnson called a meet
ing of hla most Influential followers
and boat talkers and demanded that
tlioy tour the atato In behalf of tho
Hughei candidacy, lest ho himself be
elocted to tho senatorshlp while
Hughes lost the state to Wilson, and
hi estimate was that Hughes at that
tlmo was beaten by 50,000 votes.
Against their own personal wishes
theso men went. Tlioy combed tho
stato of 'California from Del Norte
to tho border, and ttjey pleaded with
the people to vote for Hugbos for
president. And Johnson In every
speech bo made personally asked his
audiences to rote for Hughes. Out
Hughes was beaten by three thou
sand votes. Immediately Keesllng,
realising lila blunder, started the
falsehood, that Johnson had whis
pered Hughe to death, that' ho had
knifed him, that he had failed to

Governor Frank O. Lowden, of
Illinois, whose same has been sub -
raltted to the voters of Oregon, as a
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion for president, teems to be thn
probable choice of the coming Repub
lican convention, nt Chicago.
His method of clean campaigning
has won for him a tremendous sup
port which Is Increasing dally; so
thai now the farfilghte'd political
students of the United States predl t
that the choice of tho next Repub
lican convention will bo "Lowden or
a'dark horse." With the full delega
tions of Illinois, Iowa and Arkansaa
Instructed for him; with the control
of half of the delegation from the
great state of New York; with half
of the delegations of Missouri, Mis
sissippi nd other large centers of
population pledged, he will enter the
cen rest Ion at Chicago with fully as
(jahi delega. as any other candi
date. The Intense bitterness between
the Johnaon and Wood factions
makes It Impossible for cither of
those factions to concede to the other,
and when the break comes In the con
vention It 1 predicted that a stam
pede to the "Lowden banner" will
carry the nomination to the governor
of Illinois.
Lowden has filed In Oregon, and
his name will appear upon tho ballot.
A poor boy born In a cabin In the
then wilds of Minnesota; reared in
Iowa, and spending the later portion
of bis life In Illinois, ho is distinctly-
American In his habits and modo of
life, Many compare him to McKlnley
In tompcrament, only that In addi
tion to McKluley's great sense of po
litical economics, Lowden Is a great
man In a business sense.
Since taking office ho has abolish
ed the great political ring In that
atate, the old commissions of Illin
ois, has Installed tho budget system
and reduced the taxation of Illinois,
saving to the taxpayers of over $4,
000,000 each year since taking office.
Frank O. Lowden represents the
great need of the American people
today for a clean, careful, far-seeing
business man, In the chair of the
national executive. The signs of the
times Indicate that Lowden's great
executive genius and business ability,
as well aa his sterling manhood and
Integrity will make him the choice of
the convention.
Divorce suits were filed in tho cir
cuit court yesterday by Roscoo C.
Morris against Adetlno C. Morris,
and by James A. King against Ada
MvtiJng.
And so the Impression got about that
Senator Johnson, who In truth and In
fact had used every means at his
command to carry California tor
Hughes, had helped elect Wilson for
his second terra. '
"This lie, happily, has boon nailed
everywhere it has been sprung. In
tho east Mr. Hughes himself has
stated that -it was error for him to
como to California, and that It ho bad
heeded tho advice Jointly given him
by tho Old Guard and the progres
sives ho would not havo lost the state.
"Dut what Is perhaps the best
proof of the unfairness of' tho llo is
that Crocker, together with many
othora of the Old Guard who fought
Johnson, are now enthusiastic John
son supporters, Crocker being one of
the delegates to go to Chicago In
June pledged to support Johnson's
fight from, 4he, first, ballot to i the
last,"
