JOHNSON RELYING
ON HIS DELEGATES
Senator Says They Will Vote
for Him Until
Released.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Senator Hiram
Johnson announced today that he felt
convinced that every delegate who
entail vote in his favor would vote
for him not only on the first, or first
few ballots. but until he released
them.
Il have no fear that a man will
violate his instructions given by the
people of his state. l fully expect
delegates in state that cast a
preferential vote in my favor to vote
for me- he said.
When his attention was called to
the situation in North Dakota. where
delegates reported favorable to Gen.
Wood were elected, but where John
son, who was the only candidate
running in the preference primary.
stated that he fully expected to re-
ceive the North Dakota vote.
Expects to Hold Delegates.
Asked whether he expected to hold
all of these delegates until he re-
leased them, he answered decidedly
in the affirmative.
Reports were called to his attention
favored other candidates, but who
were instructed for him, intended to
vote for him on one ballot and then
switch.
Il have no reason to believe but
that the men are honest, and I ex-
pect them to cast their vote for me
until l substantially release them"
said the senator.
Take the case of Senator Watson"
said Senator Johnson. HE is an ar
dent Harding adherent, but he is in
structed to vote for Gen. Wood. Does
any one here believe that he will
violate his instructions and vote for
Senator Harding?"
ScOrns Vice Presidency.
II see where I have been invited to
become a vice presidential nominee
Senator Johnson said to the news
paper men. This is not the first time.
and it is peculiar that the men who
make these invitations apparently
think that l am unfit for the presi
dency. We are going right along with
our fight for the presidency"
Referring to statement credited
to DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler today
that the presidential primaries were a
failure, Senator Johnson said: Where
would be in this race If it were not
for the primary? l am heartily in
favor of the primary. Is it right to
say the people are fit to choose a Pres
ident but are not fit to choose a NOM
inee? Some time later, however. l in
tend to offer several recommendations
relative to primaries"

A platform plank pledging the party
