HARD|NG'S FRIENDS
CLAIM DELEGATION
Senator's Supporters Believe
Ohio Convention Contingent
Will Be Solid.

COLUMBUS. Ohio April II (SpeciaD
With the completion Of Senator
Hardings swing through the state on
his candidacy for the presidential
nomination. his friends have begun
to make claims more confidently than
ever that the unbroken Ohio dele
cation will be made up of his sup
porters. And they seem to have rea-
son for the faith that is in them.
With a perfect alignment of the or
ganization ranks throughout the state
behind the senator's standard it looks
as though the senator should do as
we'll in the Ohio state primaries as
Gov. Lowden did as a favorite son in
Illinois
With good nature manifested
Throughout his speeches, the senator
spoke plainly and in dignified way
replied to all who have seen fit to
oppose his candidacy. making 1t plain
al the same time that he did not deny
their right to such opposition. Here
in Columbus where the opposition to
him is most pronounced he spoke
most directly to the opposition. He
made no apology for placing Harry
NJ. Daugherty at the head of his or
ganization. He could not think Of
entering a campaign by turning down
an old friend. AS for Daugherty. he
was always a republican. which he could
not say of some Of his opponents. He
said he could have had the states
support without question by sacri-
ficing his friend.
The support giving Senator Hard
ing here this week indicates that his
opponents have little chance TO de-
feat his delegate candidates in this
district. AS the Wood delegates have
been accepted by the Harding organi-
cation in Hamilton county-the next
most doubtful district-with the I'M
Outstanding that they are to be
governed in their support by the re-
suit of the presidential preference to
be expressed one week from next
Tuesday, it looks as though the only
hope of the opposition lay in its state
wide attack on Chairman Daugherty
one of the candidates for delegate at
large. ]. H. GALBRAITH

CALIFORNIA SCENE
Of PIVOTAL FIGHT
Johnson and Hoover Forces
Lining Up for Coming
Primary.

SACRAMENTO. Calf. April II
(SpeciaD.-With the presidential
primary a little over two weeks away
the result of the contest between
Senator Hiram w. Johnson and Her
bert Hoover for the Endorsement of
the republican voters remains a mat
ter Of doubt.
Johnson supporters claim that San
Francisco and northern California
will carry the Johnson ticket
through by large majority. Hoover
supporters claim that the tremendous
Hoover majority south of the Teha-
chapi will more than Offset any ma
jor1ty Johnson may secure in the
north.
1t is generally admitted that San
Francisco will go for Johnson. The
republican county central committee
at a recent meeting Endorsed his can
didacy by vote of 26 to 5, while or
ganized labor is strongly favorable
to his candidacy.
Hoover Labor Clubs Forming.
At the same time strong Hoover
labor clubs have been organized in
both San Francisco and across the
bay in Oakland. with representative
L
workers throughout the state are or
ganizing for Hoover. and the railroad
brotherhoods are either lukewarm to-
ward johnson or outspokenly against
him.
Meantime the organization Of clubs
is being pushed by both camps in all
parts Of the state. One hundred and
f1fty-five Hoover clubs have been
organized and the Johnson organiza-
ton claims even a larger number sup
porting the candidacy of their favor
lite.
1t must be admitted. however. that
up to the present time the enthusi-
asm on both sides has been larely of
the manufactured variety. While
there has been a heavy registration
over 1,300.O00-for the primary. the
meetings held by both contestants
seldom have been largely attended.
The great body of the voters, while
indicating their intention to take part
in the primary by registering. are not
having delirium tremens over the
outcome.
Los Angeles Registration Heavy.
Los Angeles county leads with a
registration of some 0,000-over
one third Of the total registration of
the state. and the Hoover campaign
is being carried on with the most eff
fectiveness there.
Both camps are claiming the quiet
vote. Who is right will not be known
until the votes are counted.
In the meantime the ekirmish has
become a real battle. as California
realizes that upon her vote may deter
mine who is to be the next President Of
the United States.

tically solid delegation from Illinois Gov.

Tuesday 1t is Mayor Thompson's am

republican national committeeman. He
wants vindication before the world be-
cause of the nation wide criticism of his

Controls Fifteen Delegates.
There are fifteen delegates from Cook
county who can be depended upon to do
the bidding Of the mayor. 1t is their
plan to go into the delegate caucus
which will elect national committman.
Then the club will be used on Lowden.
If the governor will ask his friends to
vote for Thompson for committeeman,
then it is said Lowden can have the
Thompson delegates. Right now it is
understood Gov. Lowden is considering
the effect in the nation rather than at
home of the way in which Mayor
Thompson slaughtered him in Cook
county. most of the Thompson vote go
ing to Wood. whether it will not be good
advertising to let the country know that
the only opposition in Illinois comes
from Mayor Thompson. Judging from
the down-state vote in Illinois, Mayor
Thompson has not rehablitated himself
outside of Chicago. and his recent vic

be to elect a county ticket and then
capture the state organization. At
present he is unpopular in Illinois

the state.
So far Tennessee has named the
equivalent of fifteen delegates. and
eleven Of them are instructed for

SENATOR SUTHERLAND
SAYS HE IS ENCOURAGED
West Virginian Likely to Enter
Primary May Is as Presi-
Dental Aspirant,

CHARLESTON, W. Va, April II
(Special).-"I find conditions very ia :
vorable for my entering the West
Virginia primary as presidential
aspirant," were the parting words of
Senator Howard Sutherland when he
left Charleston this week for Blue
field and other cities along the Nor
folk and Western, before returning to
Washington
Senator Sutherland came to Wheel
ing on April for the 'Pershing day"
exercises. accompanying the guest of
honor to that city. and since then
he has been holding conferences with
party leaders concerning his pros
pective candidacy. He states that
the advice given him in the premises
was uniformly encouraging.
The senator declined. however.
while in this city to say definitely
whether or not he is to be a primary
entrant. He would defer this de-
cision. he said. until he had COM
pleted his itinerary in the state. The
announcement will be made from
Washington early next week.
From inside information at hand
the prediction is warranted that SEN
dtor sutherland Will ask mis- nome
state for delegation to the Chicago
convention favorable to him as a
presidential candidate, by way Of the
primary on May 25 In fact. it may
be said that the senator's mind is
about closed on this score, and was
in that condition when he left
Charleston. 1t would take a deal
of encouragement on the fag end
Of his trip to bring about change
of purpose.
Senator Sutherland believes that he
would have no trouble in defeating
Cen. Wood in the primary. notwith-
standing the fact that the principal
cities Of the state. and much of the
rural sections. have been pretty
thoroughly organized for the soldier
candidate as result Of the early
and aggressive efforts of State Au-
ditor John Sherman Darst. the state
manager for the Wood campaign.
1t was stated by Senator Suther-
land that. in the event he should de-
eide it was for the best interests OF
his party for him to keep out OF
the race, Harding, Lowden and John
SON would Immediately file their dec
larations of candidacy with the sec
rotary Of state. and in the case OF
the latter. at least. an active per-
sonal campaign would be prosecuted
