the announcement when he makes
the statement 10 the people that he
has promised. He has already an
nounced that he will tell the public
Monday what his intentions are. The
rumors OF the resignation from the
senate almost caused panic in politi-
cal circles in California. With this
report is the additional one that
Chester Rowell will be named by John.
son as United States senator.
This is believed TO be so on account
Of the air of deep mystery which has
surrounded the governors intentions
since his resignation has been looked
for by Lieutenant Governor stephens.
who desired TO be a real governor
and whose chances of becoming such
rested on the will OF Johnson.
The reason given for the eXpecta-
ton that Johnson will resign from
the senate are his presidential asplra-
tons and the break with Earl, the Los
Anglese publisher. which has given
Johnson growing fears that his own
work. on which his political reputation
was founded, is imperilcd.
II was stated without confirmation
that Johnson had made n statement
from the capitol that the report was
all bunk"
During last night, Chester ROwell,
Meyer Lisner and Raymond Robins
who are among Johnson's most init.
