FRESNO. CAL, April 5.-Reply-
ing to the charge of Governor
Hiram Johnson of California that
the desertion by Johnson, Amos
and Clifford Pinchot and other pro-
gressive leaders of the candidacy
of Senator Robert M. LaFollette
was because of statements he had
made, Walter Houser, LaFoliette's s
manager, says:
THE issue is not whether In
the hour of encouragement and
'perplexity due to intrigue and
treachery of those who had been
supporting LaFollette that / might
have favored LaFollette's with
drawal in order to preserve his
health and strength. 1t Is between
the interests represented by men
of the Mckinley, Penrose and
Murray Crane type who are sup
porting Taft and men of George
w. Perkins, Frank A. Munsey and
Dan Hanna type, all powers in the
steel trust, who are supporting
Roosevelt on the one side, and the
rank and file of American people
ION the other, to whom LaFollette
looks for support.
