WESTERN MAN TO BE
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
PORTLAND, Aug. IA West
ern man or a man with broad West
ern ideas for the next president oi
the United States is to be the slo'
gan Of Pacific Coast Republicans
This is the message Of Colonel E
Hofer. OF Salem, who has Just re-
turned from a conference of promi-
nent republican leaders of half
dozen WESTERN states held few
days ago in San Francisco.
While sentiment at the conferences
seemed to favor United States Sen
ator Hiram Johnson of California
and, in fact big campaign will be
waged for the Pacific Coast candi-
date. the leading workers expressed
a ready willingness to get behind
any other aspirant who is in SYM
pathy with the West and who knows
the needs of the West In the event
that the johnson boom fails to make
any kind OF a showing
81 was much impressed with the
strength of the Johnson movement
in California" said Colonel Hofer.
THE progressive element of the Re-
publican party and big part OF the
laboring people are strong for the
senator. These same elements are
opposed to the league of nations as
now constituted. II they find that
Senator Johnson will fail to develop
sufficient strength in Eastern and
Middle Western states, they will get
behind some other candidate who
has progressive, Western ideas and
who will run on a platform that is
unalterably opposed to the league of
nations as It now stands. -
