By GEORGE A. VAN SMITH

Ihe announcement that Joseph j.
Dwyer. lifelong democrat and recog-
nized leader of progressive democracy,
will tour the state for Hiram w. John
son, is one OF the uncomfortable sur
prises the republican state central
committee has in preparation for Bell
and his campaign managers.
Joseph J. Dwyer is one of the best
known democratic attorneys and ora
tors In central and northern California.
For years he has been regarded as one
OF the pillars of the party locally, and
throughout the state he has long been
recognized as one of the strong men
in the California democracy. His party
has pronted by his influence and his
energies in many campaigns
Dwyer IS only one of the scores of
prominent san Francisco democrats
identified with reform movements that
have deserted their party standard and
standard bearer this year. How many
OF these democrats are TO take the
stump for Johnson in the windup OIL
the campaign has not been announced.
Indeed. there has been no announce
nent of Dwyer's agreement to make
a speaking tour beginning at san
Francisco and ending in Los Angeles
on the eve of the election. The ar
rangements for Dwyer's tour were
completed Yesterday and his itinerary
viii probably be announced today
WEBB WILL JOIN DWTER
Before. reaching Los Angeles Dwyer
is TO be Joined by Attorney General
L :. Webb. who will close his cam
psign with a week on the stump under
the direction of the southern Canlorhld
republican organization
Unlike the democratic campaign ma
chine. which has given only perfume
tory attention to any fight except those
for governor and lieutenant governor
the republican state central committee
Is working hand in hand with the san
Francisco county committee for every
local and district republican candidate
TO be voted for in San Francisco
The republican fight in San Fran
cisco IS fight for Johnson and Wal
lace. but not for them exclusively. rms
year the republican judiciary, district
and legislative tickets are not mottled
with the names of republicans officially
designated for slaughter by the special
interests political bosses.
SUPPORTED BY PARTY
That does not mean that there are
no republican candidates for the legis-
Iature or for other Offices who would
rot get the party hook if the special
interests were in control of the party
organization. It does mean that for
the first time in many years all the
republicans nominated for public ONCE
have the support of their party organ
ization in San Francisco.
II the old order prevailed. assembly,
candidates like Fred c. Gerdes in the
thirty-ffth. Henry Beatty in the thirty
sixth. Edwin J. Baum berger IN the thir-
ty-seventh. J. E. White in the thirty
ninth and senatorial candidates like
Daniel ?. Res gan in the eighteenth and
Edward r. Bryant in the twentieth
would be the victims of active opposi-
tion on the part of the party commit
tees bound in honor TO fight Tor their
election
Only a feg Of the San Francisco
legislative candidates were nominated
by the Lincoln-R Roosevelt league repub-
licans who centered their local fight
on the nomination of Johnson In so
far as the general public knows, only
two of the republican legislative nomi-
nees were ever identified with the
Roosevelt movement. Gerdes,
in the thirty-fifth. was an insurgent be
fore he was sent to the Legislature
without any distinguishing marks and
without any fuss or feathers he was a
most effective insurgent in the last as
senbly. White, in the thirty ninth as
sembly district, has been a member of
the big independent club in that dis
trict Tor several years
TWO and four years ago. when the
situation was reversed and the men not
nominated by the machine were in the
minority. that minority had to shift for
itself Gerdes and Beatty and Callan
survived the storm.
BURKE BEHIND KENNEDY
Jere Burke now as four years ago.
IS behind Tom Kennedy. the democratic
senator from the twentieth district.
. loI "a re-
Burke has always known where TO find
him IN the hour Of his legislative need.
The apparent complexion of the next
senate indicates that Burke will be in
sore need Of a few windward anchors.
His anxiety 70 give the republican nom
fnation to an enemy of the municipal
administration thereby insuring the
election OF Kennedy, was eloquent of
his apprecia ton of the situation as
well as Of his appreciation of Kennedy s
services.
Two years ago Kennedy would have
enjoyed the support of the republican
county committee. taking its orders
from Jere Burke's office in the Flood
building. This year the republican
county committee, taking orders from
no private interests. is supporting
Bryant, the republican nominee in the
twentieth senatorial district as it is
supporting every other republican
for all and all for one fight in San Fran
cisco that promises not only repun-
lican legislative landslide, but a COM
Portable margin for Johnson and the
entire republican ticket
WORKS FOR WHOLE TICKET
y. Grant Taylor, republican candf-
date for clerk of the supreme court,
has adopted a method of campaign
that. to say the least is unusual In
stead Of taking TO the field in private
quest for votes for himself. Taylor
has enlisted with the Office force at
the republican state central commit
tees eadouarters and is working
under orders, without any platform
pvrotechnics. for the entire ticket. The
probability of his election by tre-
mcndous margin is the probability en-
ioved by republican candidates for
many years, but Taylor is the first to
turn that probability into unobtrusive
personal service. for the committee and
