tickets have been prepared, one for
Johnson and one for Hoover each
bearing the names of IS delegates.
The fight will be as clean as a

talent.
JOHNSON MEN CONFIDENT
Johnsonites here are thoroughly
confident they have the situation IN
hand They point out that in Mime
sofa Hoover ran fourth; in Michigan
poor third and in Illinois whereas
Johnson piled up seventy thousand vo-
ties. according to the latest figures
Hoover got a sparse 500. 1t is true
that Hoover's name was not on the
ballot and it had to be written, but
this also applied to Johnson his name
to he written in too.
The report that Hoo<er's name was
not entered in time legally TO put on
the California ticket was a ntisinter-
probation of the news that HooverAS
registration affidavit arrived too late
to entitle him to cast his personal vote
in the prima ries. Hoover's name will
appear on the ballot, precisely as will
