CALIFORNIA; First
Tho orator described Senator
Johnson as the man first brought
forth for presidential honor by Cal
lfornia I'm 70 years Of statehood and
left no controversy In recent pollti.
cal history untouched as he sketched
the senator's career.
Mr. Wheeler attacked the nrgu.
ment Of political geographors
against candidates from the far
west.
California would say to such
men that this progressive world Of
| ours has been moving right along"
he said. That the course OF empire
| has steadily pursued its westward
/ way; that the hand and brain OF
men have not only spanned rivers
and lev"lled hills, but they have
now leaped athwart tho ether and
new highways through the very
heavens themselves until tho east
| and west are one"
THE California delegation claims
the right TO speak authoritati, ely
| for the rank and file OF the ropub-
lican party. II bases that claim
upon the fact that It was sent 10 this
convention by the stupendous ma
! tOrity OF 100, 900 American citizens
who In literal truth hailed from
every nook and Granny and corner
| OF this nation.
IL Republican Year
by every sisn OF tho zodiac this
should he n republican year. The
! disgust for the party in power Is
universal. But Notwithstanding all
| this there has never been a time
In the history OF the republican
party when failure to name the
right candidate would surely spell
/ party defeat.
This proposition may be laid
I down with automatic certainty. The
November election will not be won
! 10y the platform OF either political
| party The personality OF the can.
| didate-and not the party affili.
| ation--is going 10 elect the next
president OF the United States.
The man who Will enter the
white house on March 4, 1921. will
be that republican or that democrat
In whom the available American
voter places the mos, faith.
These voters have learned within
the past few years that the most
powerful ruler in the world is the
! president OF tho United States.
They are smarting under a sense OF
personal oppression. No man can
make them believe they are not the
! victims OF profiteers. They believe
That tho remedy for their economic
wrongs will be found when there is
again In the white house a man Of
vital force and broad human sym
phthies, and they are grimly deter
mined that never again with their
consent shall there he elevated Ia
