Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing It

When you wash your hair, be careful

The best thing to use is Mulsified

and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap
and beats anything else all to pieces.

Johnson TO URGE
PRIMARY SYSTEM
FOR PRESIDENCY
Backs Harding, Says Law
renee, But Plans Fight for
New Method of Nominating,
Remembering Own Defeat.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial Correspondent Of The New
Seimitar.l

SUMMARY
SACRAMENTO. Cal, Sept. 24.--Sena-
tor Hiram W. johnson may be out
sturnpinG for the Harding Coolidge
ticket, but he has not forgotten what
happened at the Republican national
convention In Chicago last June and
Just as soon as this campaign is over
the California senator means TO lead
the fight for Il revision OF the methods
by which candidates for the presidency
are chosen
Hiram johnson has the notion that
the people ought TO have something to
do with the nomination for the presi-
dency so that the public shah not be
confronted with a choice between In
ferior men. He thinks that the primary
system Is both logical and democratic.
And, while he Is expressing no opinion
about the persons nominated in tho last
conven tons OF the big political parties,
he is inclined to the belief that the
public would not be much worse off.
and perhaps better off. II they tried
the primary system instead of the con
vention method.
The California senator might tell an
interesting story about what took place
at Chicago. IL he were disposed to do
so. He could. for instance. reveal the
absolute pledge given him by other
leaders at the Chicago convention that
when the rest was taken on Saturday
afternoon, IL was with the understand
ing that an opportunity would be given
for all concerned to agree upon a
man that the progressive wing OF the
Republican party could support whole
heartedly.
But, except insofar as you might em-
phastze the point now and then, the
controversies OF the last convention
viii not be revived Senator Johnson's
aim is to get n law passed by Congress
that win establish presidential prefer
ence primaries as something more sub
stantial than they are today
