GOV. JOHNSON COMES.
Will Aid Progressives in Massachus-
etts Battle.

New York. Oct. 24--Gov. Hiram
w. Johnson Of California arrived in
New York yesterday for his first
visit since the campaign of last
year when he was candidate for
Vice President on the Progressive
ticket. He expects to make speech
es for the Progressive candidates in
Massachusetts and New Jersey. In
an interview, Gov. Johnson drew
some comparisons between the recall
as it is exercised in California ana
the method employed in New York
State, which, he seays, is by tele-
phone message from a boss.
Il might suggest to conservative
New York" said Gov. Johnson at the
Ritz Carlton, when he was asked
what he thought of recent political
events hereabout that recall by the
people under our Western laws is
rather preferable to recall by tele-
phone by a political boss. Now, of
course, that depends upon the point
of view.
The Progressive Party is by no
means moribund, in Gov. Johnsons
opinion.
u think it is a splendid militant
organization he said. 1T is deter
mined TO 90 ahead. Of course. in
the Progressive party, as in all new
parties, are some who are timid and
shrinking. some who are self-seeking
some who feel bound by tradition. and
these are hesitant concerning the
new party. But they constitute a
very slender minority. The great
majority of Pcogressives have set
themselves to carry OUT certain def
mite fixed principles in government
and never will cease their struggle
until these principles are triumph
ant"
"Then you believe the Progressiv-
es will have Presidential ticket
three years hence?' was suggested.
Three years hence there will be a
Progressive Party nationally"
DO you believe it is likely that
the Republican Party will become
progressive"
II think there is no chance OF the
so-called Leaders of the Republican
Party becoming Progressives; but to
them the danger is very real OF the
rank and file of the Republican Party
becoming Prcgressives. The milit-
ant fighting force. politically of the
nation is in the Progressive Party.
II does not make any difference
which has been temporarily victori.
ous-they are bound to keen the
faith thar is theirs. and they have
the ardor. the enthusiasm. the de-
vciiOn. and the unsel6shness TO keen
that faith and no State election will
in any degree lessen their ardor and
devotion. and no temporary defeat
in any locality in any wise appalls
them
There is no State election in Cali
fonia this year. Next year an the

are 10 be chosen. Gov. johnson was
asked IL he would be a candidate.

] that I would be- he replied.

MARITIME FOR INVESTIGATION

Washington, Dec. Conditions
in the strike district in Michigan have
come to an outrageous pass, and a
federal investigation should certainly
be made as soon as possible" declar-
ed Senator MARITIME of New Jersey, in
commenting on the alleged abuse of
President Meyer of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners.
Unfortunately we have been so
busy here with the currency legisla-
ton, that we have not had chance
to go into the strike situation. Our
hands are now tied by this recess I'M
til the middle of January. But the
Michigan problem has not been over
looked. L had a talk with Senator
Kern just before he left for the hoi-
days, and he agreed with me that
something should be done. l shall
advocate an investigation immediate
ly upon the reassembling of con-
gress."
