Professional Barred by Law

CabaniSS

Is there such a thing as a profess
sional juror? Are so called profess
sional jurors a bad feature of our

To both of these questions Superior
Judge Lawlor has given emphatic
answers.
Sueprior Judge Cabaniss, on the
other hand, who holds court in an

rectly. yesterday answered both
questions in the negative.
The layman can therefore take his
choice and the men who have come in
for scoring at the hands of Judge
Lawlor such measure of comfort as
they deem necessary under the cir
cumstances.
The difference OF opinion between
the two 1urists came about when
Judge Cabaniss accepted for duty one
of the jurors discharged by Lawlor
as professional" Cabaniss also took
occasion to praise the mans work af-
ter the verdict had been rendered.

MOOSE
WAITING On
JOHNSON
Governors Choice of Job He
Will Run for to Settle Many
Ambitions in Party

Governor Johnson holds the key
move today in the political game of
chess being played on the brand new
board of the progressive party of
California.
On his choice of nomination hangs
the movements of all the kings and
castles and pawns. following the sur
prise sprung by Francis ]. Heney in
announcing that he would run for
either governor or senator, picking
the office for which Johnson would
not run.
KENT AFTER TOGA, TOO
One of the most interesting po-
sitions on the board is that OF Con-
gresham Kent, close friend of Heney,
who will run for the senate himself,
according to the gossip of the pro-
pressives Kent, ii is said. is ready
to turn his millions into the fight to
beat Johnson.
The governor is determined to seek
the toga, according to word passing
around in political circles today. His
new aim was made known last night
by men close to Johnson, at pro-
gressive rally in San Jose. The gov
ernor, 1t is said, told them confidently
that he had made his choice.
ESHLEMAN UP IN AIR
The position of John NJ Eshleman,
president of tht railroad commission,
and of Chester H. Rowell of Fresno
remains 10 be determined by the
move of Johnson.
The progressives have been look
ing on Eshleman as their candidate
for governor should Johnson run for
the senate. That was the under
standing at the recent progressive
conference at the Palace hotel. when
plans were made for permanent or
ganization of the party in this state.
Rowell has been regarded as a
leader in the field for the progressive
nomination for the senatorship if
Johnson should decide to run for the
Office he now holds.
ROWELL MAY QUIT
Rowell will not turn into the gov
ernorship contest, his friends say.
They assert he is in the race only for
the toga. and even for that would not
oppose Johnson.
Rowell himself says the same.
The progressives and others are not
doing much else except to wonder
how it Will all turn out
A defense OF the position of the
progressive party was made by Gov
ernor Johnson before 2.400 persons
from all parts of Santa Clara county
last night in the Garden theater at
San Jose. The governor was greeted
with applause when he appealed for
a separate and distinct political
party. He said:
Doesn't 1t seem quite absurd and
quite at variance with our boasted
intelligence and independence that a
group of men, whether large or
small. who believe in certain govern
ment principles, must, under all cir
cumstances, remain within a party
which does not represent those prin-
ciples?
What is more natural than those
who believe at variance should as
sociate themselves together under a
new organization to carry out their
views?"
Johnson made no reference in his
speech in regard to the United States
senatorship.
