Roweu Compares Situation
With That in California

Fresno, Cal, Jan. 17.-Chester II.
Rowell, chairman of the Republican
State Committee of California, and re-
garded as spokesman for the Progress
i've element in State politics, said last
night:
THE national old guard is conduct
ing itself with exactly the same suicidal
obstinacy with which the old guard or
ganization in this State prevented vic
tory in California for the Republican
ticket last year. The present situation
nationally, is the same which we had
in California"
"The public protest issued by George
w. Perkins and Everett Colby will, of
course, puncture the whole bluff and
bad faith of the pretsAded harmony
move of the reactionary group in the
Republican National Executive Commit
tee and will mean that the Republican
party must either find some way to re-
pudiate this misrepresentation commit
tee, or else suffer the consequences OF
it's suicidal policy. The country will
not trust the old guard nor the Repub.
ican party under it's control"
