STANTON GAINS AT HOME
The northern politicians have heard
that Stanton is picking up at home as
the result of a renewal Of the south
for the south slogan which has been
the battle cry of the speakers cam
paign. Stanton,s fight has al all times
been a frank appeal 70 sectional preju-
dices. In the south one of tSantons
strong. cards was his appeal TO the
antflabor unionists, whom he sought
TO hook. by emphasizing the part he.
took in preventing the adoption of ASH
etic exclusion resolutions and legisla-
tion by the. last. assembly, over which
he presided as speaker. ~: .
Stantons s original specifications for
the vote which he expected TO nominate
him for governor was .65. per cent OF:
the whole republican vote below the
Tehacha pi and 10 per cent: of the party
1aa ff5cf n fC
northern tour excited a suspicion that
he could not get. 10 per: cent of the
vote of northern CALIFORNIA;. In any.
event he hurried back. to southern Cali:
fornia TO strengthen: the retaining
fences around him home quota;
TIE fs<st bomb threxn into the out
lander camp in the. soUth by stanton:
was his telegram from Roosevelt re-
pudiating the.use of his na me by. John
sons supporters and rewspa pers, Prior.
TO that. dark, tidings of StanIon.s at
tacks on the johnson @bufwarks: had
found their way north. and the Lincoln
Roosevelt lea g0ers had virtually COM
pIeted plans for j Joi7ns@h's third inva=
sion Of the SOUTH when stanton hung
out the Roosevelt danger signal.
-Srantor's s appeal to Roosevelt to cor
rect the Impression that: the former
president was supporting Johnson de-
reloped some surprising results. Not
the least. Of these is q: statement from
Marshall. Stin3sef. of los Angeles, who
denies that he asked: Roosevelt to help
johnson and IA ao declares that Stanton
appealed to Roosevelt for help and was
turned down ~ l.. Fl.
STENSON'S. .TIsI. .IsGR AN TWISTED
II was Marshal Stinnson,s telegram.
sent to the Ieagners III. California after
his visit to Roosevelt that was made
the basis: Gf the assertion that Roose-
Welt was for go3inSon: and I hat he mad
sent clifford :F9ifrAot 10 California to
urge the. nofain8tiDn; Of the Lincoln
Roosevelt lea que tiidate. Stimson's
telegram was <caEefully : .gaorded. He
declared that ne ba,d seen Roosevelt and
that Pinciot WAS going to California.
Taken literslly-:L II was an innocent mes
sage. In: the hands Of tie California
newspapers supporting johnson and on
the tongues. of his speakers: it became
Roosevelt wants johnson nominated"
That was stiff handicap for all the
other can adidates a md: an. especially diff
cult matter for Stanton, who had ad-
vertised himself as.:"tlle man Roosevelt
praised" and. the man. who had made
Roosevelt,s- far eastern: and imnli gra-
tion. policies possible. =.
He sent his brother to see Roosevelt
and as result Rooseyelt*i issued a for
NAL statement: declaring that. he was
not for. johnson or for any. other can
didate; that he had~Tiot sent :Pinchot= to
California; and that: no man had any
authority TO speak for him in the. CAL
ifornia primary campaign: -.
This statement was followed yester-
day by notice from Roosevelt to some
of the newspapers. supporting johnson
that his statement needed: no supple;
mentary statement. THAT 1T had only
its face value. and. that. it was. their
-oSvn statements that. lie had sent Pin
chot TO California that made his: repu-,
distion imperative.
TEXT OF REPUTATION
Here is the text of Roosevelt's second
Telegram sent from Oyster Bay: =: -,
It is simply nonsense to" suppose
my statement has other than: its
face value. It is impossible to twist
II and II needs no supplementary.
statement whatever Of: any kind or
sort. 1t was the statement in the
Johnson papers that. / had sent =:
Pinchot TO 3 speak for johnson
which rendered my statement Inn
perative. ] refuse positively TO
make any statement: in favor. of. r;
Stanton in spite Of his past services
IN the japanese matter, and it is ).
equally impossible - TO make any
statement on side: of: johnson
though ! fully appreciate John
sons attitude. All you have to do -:
is TO. take my statement of .yester-
only way it can possibly. be CON,
THEo. ROOSEVELT.
The Roosevelt warnihg<;that he: was
not TO be blamed for a. sta terieIlt forced
from him by the johnson .newspapers
was by no means all of: yesterdays de-
velopmerits in the Roosevelt Johnson
Stanton episode Marshal Stimsofl
loosed a broadside directed at Stanton:
He issued a statement charging that
Stanton had wrongfuAy used -Roose-.
velt's name and had attempted. to make
the voters of southern California be-
lieve that Roosevelt was q friend and
supporter Of Stanton. He also accused
Stanton of attempting TO secure Roose-
elt's assistance. In conclusion. Stimson
added to the confusion by declaring that
when he visited Roosevelt he did not
ask the former president-to help John
son.
