CHICAGO, June 7.-one who has
met the various leading candidates
for the Presidential nomination
might be led bhndfolded into the
Cbeadquarters Of any Of them and he
mould be able to tell within a few
kVconds just where he Is by the feel,
II were, Of the atmosphere. The
hadquarters reflect the character
Acs and the following OF the can
: iates.
Certainly no one could make any
stake about the Hiram Johnson
ldquarters, which occupy the en-
front OF the parlor floor Of the
ditorium Hotel The eye, the ear
a the sense of smell combine to
sure the visitor that he is in the
npany Of men who have hair on
p'\ cir chests and women who wear
roes with nat heels. This is the
& ,adquarters OF the. old and wen
lOwn HOORAH stun. Everybody
full OF pep and everything. The
en- are generally addicted to the
tM.bit OF chewing tobacco and wear
sombreros or black derby hats
csfled down to their ears
O'square determined faces abound and
uare heads are not uncommon.
tram is there himself most of the
ne and makes an attempt to meet
comers in the security OF his
ivate room. The Hiram headquar-
rers is the only one here in which
ian be seen the sign private" on the
doors OF the rooms. Time-honored
methods rule in the johnson roost. All
doors are guarded by husky gentle
men with badger haircuts and punch
in either hand, Persons admitted to
the presence of the Senator from Cali
fornia pass in one door and out
through another. There is much
whispering into ears in corners and
much hustling out OF trusted lieu
tenants who return after a time with
somebody in tow and that som ebody

private rooms.
RECEPTION ROOM ALWAYS
JAMMED.
The reception room is always
jammed and most of those who in
habit the place are for Hiram John
son Many Of the former convention
followers of Col. Roosevelt are con-
spicuous in the assemblage, In fact
tho nson headquarters is reminis-
q Jf the Roosevelt headquarters
= I'm 1912, with this difference, and
q difference is important: The
Roosevelt following was inherently
revolutionary and during the conven-
tion activities was always on the
verge OF or in the throes of hysteria.
while the Johnson following is noisy,
there is no evidence in II of hysteria.
The answer probably is that Hiram
Johnson is not another Theodore
Roosevelt.
Circus methods OF advertising rule
in and outside the johnson headquar-
ters. Gigantic signs call attention to
ne location. On every sign inside
bad outside. and on every printed
third the name OF Hiram johnson ap-
wars In red ink like the red fudge"
announcement in the Hearst news
papers. The Hearst newspaper in
terests in Chicago are closely allied
With the Johnson headquarters.
Among the attendants In the pres
'ent political home of the Senator
from California are young men in the
uniforms of soldiers and sailors. No
where else is the uniform in evidence
save in the headquarters OF Gen.
Wood, who wears his uniform with
AL its appurtenances at all times.
The Roosevelt slogan was TEDDY,
Teddy, we want Teddy" The john
son slogan is II am for Hiram; he is
for Uncle Sam" The johnson SEN
timent in Chicago will be placed on
public view tonight at the Audi
torium, where the candidate and SEN
ator Borah will undertake to work
up another such tempest as they
helped Col. Roosevelt work up on the
eve OF the convention of eight years
ago,
Herbert Hoover's headquarters is
on the ninth floor of the Auditorium
in a long. spacious vaulted room or
dinariIy used as a banquet hall. The
difference between this headquarters
and the Johnson centre below is as
pronounced as the difference between
the Hoover and Johnson staffs, in
that most of the workers are vol
unteers.
All the men in the Hoover head
quarters are rtless; the visitor ia
aecosted as caves the elevator by
young women who ask him to reg
iSter and inquire Is he looking for
literature. The great room. despite
