Hoover Versus johnson

-THF, most interesting political debate in
l this campaign is that staged by Her
bert Hoover. Californian. and an avowed
candidate for the Republican presidential
nomination. on the one hand, and Hiram
Johnson Californian, and avowed can
didate for the same nomination, on the
other. These gentlemen for more than two
months have been throwing verbal bricks
a each other and each has scored in
fashion unrvaled by any other marksmen
now in the game.
First Of all, johnson went forth to force
the then nOnpartisan and the unaspring
Mir. Hoover to declare himself candidate
or get out OF the running, to pronounce
himself Republican or go bodily into tho
Democratic party. Before the Senator had
finished with his fellow Californian, he had
put il over" Casting prudence and sound
judgment 10 the winds. Hoover plunged
into the Republican fight and Immediately
undertook TO kill off his adversary by cap
turing the California delegation.
But California Republicans failed to re-
spond 10 the appeal of the former food adj
rinistrator They turned him down to the
tune OF "a $4,000 johnson majority That
did not silence the defeated aspirant, how
ever. No sooner had the result become
known than he charged the Johnson forces
| with an outrageous expenditure Of money
! in the primary and the employment Of a
I discrcditablc political machine to accom-
| plish the before mentioned majority
| Il so happens that Johnson likes nothing
| better than & controversy and he came back
