SENTATIVE leaders shudder for the
culy way they can down johnson in
California involves the elevation Of
Hogbert Hoover. And Hoover isn't
any more popular with the old bour-
bon leaders than johnson.
Llo situation Ia almost painful

primaries In Ohio has probably push
"a Senator Harding Off the track.
H has been from the start, the
standby Of the conservatives, but his
showing on his own stamping ground

that he couldn't carry the State in
the election and the Republican
Party needs Ohio-or needs a capdi-
date who might have a reasonable
chnnce o. victory in the State,
Cen. Woods showing in Massa-
chusetts and New Jersey was deeply
disappointing TO his managers, and
his showing In Ohio failed TO inspire
them with feverish enthusiasm, for
the returns indicate that. In the cleo
lion, should he be the candidate, no
would be as likely to FAD in Ohio as
Harding. The Developments Of Tues
cay put a decided crtmp In the Wood
boom, although he made q consider
able gain in Instructed delegates and
10 still remains the most formidable
second choice. His real strength de-
pends on how many uninshuctcd
delogates Frank Hitchcock has
rounded up for him. and Hltchcock's
unpopularity with Col. Proctor OF
Cincinnati. the angel OF the Wood
movement, Indicates that the noted
gum shoe expert hasn't run true to
form IN the emergency.
BITTER FIGHT MAY MAKE LOW
DEN BENEFICIARY.
The eyes OF the conservatives are
turning to-day In the direction OF
Gov. Frank Lowden Of Illinois. He
has really prodted by the bitter light
between johnson and Wood, although
he has not accumulated any In
etructed delegates lately.
Gov. G0Wden has not devinted from
the plan he outlined when he entered
the Campaign for the Republican
nomlhation.' He announced hig inten-
ton on standing on HE record az
Governor OF Illinois. As the only
STATE Executive In the Union who
has succeeded in cutting down the
expenses OF his Government and re-
duc4ng taxation, he occupies a most
navnntageous position. The fact that
Johnson made such a wonderful
showing IN the primaries In the city
