California Progressives Map Out

Sacramento, July Ex-Governor Johnson
gave out statement to-day Of the plans OF
the California Progressive Republicans after
the conference OF state leaders yesterday.
The statement indicates that the Progress

and continues:
Our Presidential electors, under tho law.
are selected by the candidates for the Legis-
Iature chosen at direct primaries. There
is a wide divergence Of opinion as to whether
candidates for Presidential electors can by
petiton be put on the ticket BY party
designation. or. If thus put on the ticket,
can be voted for IN a single group: and
there are many who insist that the only
party designations that can be used are
Republican, Democratic and Socialist.
Ii has, therefore. been determined that
those candidates for the Legislature In the
Republican party who are Progressive shall
agree II they are successful TO nominate
candidates for Presidential electors who
will vote for Roosevelt for President. =,

from the town of Hampstead and five from
the towns OF North Hampstead and Oyster
Bay, who should appoint a county central
committee from each election district in the

man, but Will Defer to
Wishes of Committee.

Beverly. Mass. July 6-Although Presi-

his secretary, C. D. Hilles, as chairman Of
the Republican National Committee with
the active leadership Of his campaign for
reelection. he will not insist on this selec-
ton II members Of the national committee
who will meet him at the White House
next Monday hold different views.
The President will confer on Monday
with the special subcommittee of nine OF
the national committee, with the idea OF
securing the best chairman possible, one
who will be agreeable to all members Of
the committee and who has the ability to
handle what he realizes will be hard
campaign In addition to Mr.. Hilles, Will
lam Barnes, jr., and ex-Representative
Herbert Parsons, OF New York, have been
prominently mentioned. Objections nave
been raised against both these leaders,
Just as they have been raised against Mr.
Hilles, and 1t was said to-day the Presi-
dent was inclined to leave the matter large
ly with the subcommittee.
President Taft wrote on the night OF his
nomination a telegram to the national
committee then in Chicago, stating that he
would like to have Mr.. Hilles made its
chairman. That telegram was not sent
Mr. Hilles persuaded the President over
the telephone not to make decision at
that time. but to await the conference with
the subcommittee.
After Mr.. Hilles returned to Washington
he told the President he would prefer not
to take the chairmanship. He pointed to
the work he had done In the pre-conyention
campaign. and said he could be 81 great
assistance in his present office OF secretary
In the prediction days. The President
saw the force of his arguments. and, II Is
thought, will not demand his appointment

who meets with Mr. Taft's approval.
Otto T. Barnard, Of New York, paid the
President an unexpected visit to-day. Mr..
Barnard Is staying with friends on the
North Shore, and motored into Paramatta
this afternoon to have a chat with the
President. Mr. Taft took him away later
In White House car
Mr.. Bannard's presence in Beverly led to

yesterday morning from his summer home.
at Nantucket. on his way to Washington.
The state chairman did not care to talk
about the possibility Of his being made
chairman Of the national committee for
the purpose Of managing the Taft CAM
paign. His friends said they understood
he could have the place II he would con-
sent to take II.
There is only one thing that would cause
the state chairman to hesitate about ac-
cepting the national Craftsmanship. II II
were offered TO him. his friends say, and
that would be the fact he has set bis
heart on carrying New York State this
fall II he >)uld find some one to handle
tho stat. campaign as he would do II he
might be willing 10 take the higher place.
The name OF Speaker z. A. Merritt. 3r..
was mentioned last night. and It Is pos
sible also that Herbert Parsons might be
induced TO take the state chairmanship.
