POLITICIANS HAVE THEIR
EYES ON SACRAMENTO

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. H.
Political weather forecasters in
Washington have been keeping their
eyes on the governors office 1T Sac
ramento, ever since the word came
across the mountains that Hiram
johnson might decide to cut loose
from the Republican party name. In
terest was heightened when it was
announced that Francis J. Hsnsy
would run for senator without Sock
ing the support of the party labsl.
The national capital, isolated from
the direct political currents Of the
country, thinks johnson and Hsnsy
are committing political suicide.
Probably the example set by ali
but one of the progressives Of the
senate-LaFollette, Kenyon, Borsh,
Clapp, Cummins and their associates
has encouraged this view. Repre-
sentative Lafferty of Portland. who
has just announced that while he sits
in the Progressive party caucus in
the house, he will always remain In
the Republican party in Oregon simp-
ly follows their lead. Lafferty as
serts that "the progressives are 30
per cent of the total membership Of
the Republican party, and they don't
propose to relinquish control TO the
10 per cent"
