Los Angeles, Feb. 22. Southern
California progressive leaders de
clared today unreservedly for the can
didacy of Theodore Roosevelt and
Hiram Johnson. Roosevelt's Columbus
speech yesterday struck a responsive
chord in progressive circles here, und
general satisfaction was expressed re
garding his declarations.
Meyer Llssner, chairman of the
state Republican central committee,
declared the Roosevelt-Johnson com
bination to be Ideal, and predicted the
overwhelming election of Roosevelt,
who, he believes, will accept the nom
ination. Llssner said:
"The progressive cause Is greater
than any Individual candidacy, and the
obvious thing for progressives to do
Is to unite on some man who stands
for progressive principles.
"Roosevelt Is the logical presiden
tial candidate. He will accept the
nomination ,lf it Is tendered as a par
ty mandate, and will be overwhelm
ingly elected. Of course, I am for
Hiram Johnson for vice-president. The
combination would be of unquestioned
