JOHNSON'S WISHES
RULE DELEGATION
Senator Wolfe Secures ADJOURN
ment of Legislators Until
Governor Elect Returns
Desire for POstpOnement Does
Not Mean Attempt to Con-
troll, Says Finn

Because IL was told that Hiram W.
Johnson wished it to do nothing until
after it had consulted him. the San
Francisco joint legislative delegation
decided last night to postpone organ
izstion until after Johnson's return
from the east
The allegations touching Johnson's
wishes were conveyed to the delega-
tion by Senator Eddie Wolfe, senior
member Of the delegation. who was on
the slate for chairman. Wolfe said he
had got his information from Senator
Tom Finn. who has a majority of the
delegation votes in his political pocket
Finn said that he got his information
about the desires OF Governor Elect
Johnson from Al McCabe of Johnsons
personal campaign organization.
SUGGESTION FROM WOLFE
The adjourned meeting Of the san
Francisco delegation held last night In
Superior Judge Graham's courtroom
was a shortliYed affair. Senator Wolfe
called the meeting 10 order for the
purpose Of suggesting that il adjourn
until after Johnson's return from the
east He said that he had been in
formed that Johnson desired the dele
after he returned The delegation
members most Of whom were respon-
sive TO Finn. apparently agreed with
the suggestion and the meeting was
adjourned on the conclusion Of Wolfe's S
brief statement.
After the meeting Wolfe said that
his Information with regard TO John
sons attitude had come from Finn.
Senator Finn admitted that he had
or in To
son, but said that he nad been apprised
Of JOhnson's attitude by Al McCabe.
FINN DEFINES ATTITUDE
Finn was careful to make it plain
that the pOstpOnement requested for
Johnson was not based on the COVER
nor elects desire to take hand in the
organization of the delegation as such.
AS put by Finn. il was to be inferred
that neither Johnson nor the control
ling influence on the delegation had
any objection 10 the election Of Wolfe
TO the craftsmanship or the delegation,
but Finn wished 10 play with the gov
ernor anI the governor TO be wanted
nothing done. Nothing was done.

SiilS<Abos 1llss DCt. hC
old copybook in which you prac-
ticed your writing lessons when
you were a boy, and which has
survived these many years in most
of the schools of the country, has
been relegated to the waste bas-
ket.
Chicago, New York, Boston and
Detroit have something new in the
writing line. 1t is called the Palm
er method of business writing.
1t eliminates the painful process
of copying stereotyped sentences
that characterized your own eff
forts to learn the art of writing.
Instead, the teacher reads
poetry, or plays the piano, or re-
cites childish jingles, while the
pupils commit their copies to
paper.
The modern emphasis is on
fast, free, easy and beautiful writ
ing, and these ends are accom-
plished by relaxing the muscles of
the pupils, insisting upon correct
sitting posture. and free, easy,
arm movement.
The old copybook was made by
a skilled engraver of script. The
pupil was expected to equal his
uniform excellency. With cramped
fingers, the pupil would waste
hours trying to duplicate the sue
cess of the engraver. The copy
book style of writing, say the adj
-
cannot be written rapidly nor
with ease. When an attempt is
made to make it serve practical
business purposes it degenerates
into an ugly and irregular scrawl.
