C. 0. P. MUST WIN
johnson Backers Declare Prac-
tical Politicians for Californian.
WOuld-Be POStmaSters Back
Home Are Working for Him.

Chicago, June 9.-Hiram Johnson's
inner camp is placing much hope of
victory on the quiet but powerful ac-
tivities of many prospective office
holders and politicians among the
delegates and folks at home who
would be carried to their detectives
thru the nomination of a winning Re-
publican candidate, 1t was learned to-
day.
The Johnson supporters have point
ed out that it is the general opinion
among the delegates that the Cali
fornian, If nominated, could be elect
ed. Prospective officeholders, they
declare, will take no chance of losing
out thru naming a candidate who
might not have Johnson's opportunity
to win.
The johnson group, it is believed,
expect all this will have a compelling
effect in bringing about the senator
nomination. The argument is that
johnson would have the best chance
of being elected. carrying into power
with him hundreds of lesser candi-
dates

GOOD WEEK FOR CROPS
Rain and Sunshine of Great Benefit
to Vegetation in Kansas.
(By b. R. Laskowski. observerJ

All crops made a good growth dur
ing the past week, according to the re-
ports received from 12O weather bu-
reau stations in this state.
The highest temperature recorded
during the week was Sc degrees at An
thony on Monday and many stations
reported temperatures above 80 de-
grees. The lowest temperature was 40
degrees at Manhattan last Saturday.
The mean temperatures for the week
were slightly below normal.
The sunshine was somewhat def
cfent but not enough to materially af-
feet vegetation. Precipitation was re-
ported from all parts of the state. The
southwestern and south-central por-
tions reported several heavy rains
which will aid crops in those sections
as the soil was very dry due to the
long drouth experienced during the
eastern counties reported heavy rains
which will delay work little in that
section. Lincoln county had a severe
hail storm on the LIST, which caused
considerable damage to crops in the
vicinity of Beverly and the northwest
part of the county which will make 1t
necessary to replant in number of
places.
Wheat is doing exceptionally well.
Ninety per cent and better is headed
out in the south and south-central
portions with most of the other parts
Some of the early wheat in the south
ern part is commencing to show signs
of ripening.
Corn is developing but needs more
sunshine for good growth. Cultivation
is progressing thruout the state. Sew
eral counties in the southern part re-
port that it is little too cool and wet
but on the whole is in fair to good
shape.
Fifty per cent and more of the first
ern half of the state and cutting will
be started in the near future in the
western half Pastures are fine.
Grain sorghums are about all plant
ed and that which is up is doing nice
ly, especially in the southwestern part,
where several reports are to the effect
that it has never looked better in that

Names Sub Committee
While the full resolutions commit
tee is engaged with these hearings,
however, a subcommittee of thirteen,
named last night by Senator Watson
and over which he also will preside.
will proceed with the actual cutting
and fitting of platform planl<s.
On its face this move was designed
to seek harmony on proposed parts,
declarations of principle, views of all
candidate for nominations being rep
resented in the sub committee per-
sonnet. The four United States sena-
tors. including Senator Watson. who
are committee members, recall widely
dixerging views as to treaty ratifica-
ton on the majority side in the long
senate battle.
Expect No Radical Change.
The credentials committee faced a
tremendous Job when it assembled inn
mediately after the convention ad-
journed yesterday and began RESTING
the counter claims to seats of those
who had already appeared before the
national committee for preliminary
classification. Far into the night de-
spite every effort to shorten the pro-
cess, work on reporting a permanent
roll proceeded. The committee la
bored in the convention building and
as the papers of delegation after dele
cation were scanned and passed upon
with brief presentations by counter
claimants, action of the national COM
mittee was in the main confirmed.
No radical change in the temporary
roll as forecast certainly no change
that could affect in any way the out
come Of the balloting. There were
some cases, however. where floor
battles on adopting the committee re-
port appeared possible and on that
hung the only prospect when the
convention opened today of a break
in the harmony and calm that under
laid yesterdays enthusiasm for the
party cause.

Convention Floor.
OTHER FACTIONS ARE FRIENDLY
BY L. C. MARTIN.

Chicago, June 9.-The labor, League
of Nations and Mexican issues were
before the resolutions committee of
the Republican convention today.
Before night, the committee was
expected to decide on the form of
these planks.
Actual work of drafting them was
delegated to a subcommittee, while
the full committee conducted open
hearings. Scores of petitioners be-
sieged the rooms seeking to get their
views into the platform. Samuel Com
pers was due to testify today.
Both friends and foes of the league,
bitter enders and reservationists,
claimed that the sub committee, head
ed by Senator Watson, chairman of
the full committee, was friendly to
their view OF what the treaty plank
should say.
Camps of the bitter enders and the
reservationists made statements that
the question would be amicably COM
promised without resort to a fight on
the floor of the convection.
Bornh Wants Fight.
While the Borah-Johnson group of
irreconcilable appeared to be court
ing a convention floor fight, they dis
claimed any such intention, and said
If a row is started, it will be by the
other side. Senators Borah and Nc
Cormick, irreconcilables, are members
of the subcommittee. which also in
cludes Watson, a Lodge reservationist;
Ogden Mills of New York, a pro-
Lacquer; Smoot of Utah, a Lodge

Borah's views: William A. White,

Michigan, classed as more or less fer
vent reservatiOnistS
A report was heard. unverified from
any reliable source. that deal had
been made for the irreconcilables to
be given reasonable satisfaction" on
the treaty plank in return for letting
Lodge have the permanent chairman
ship and Watson the resolutions COM
mittee without a fight. The Borah-
johnson group denied being in any
deal, and said they would upset any
coalition that planned to squelch
them.
Glitter Enders'' Bitter.
When the subcommittee met,
Borah and his supporters were stand
ing firmly, they said, for a plank de-
nouncing the treaty and league cove
nant
The reservationists were equally
firm in demanding an affirmative de-
claration with safeguarding of Ameri-
canizing reservations.
The labor question also arose to vex
the resolutions committee today. Sam
Gompers, heading a delegation from
the American Federation of Labor,
was to appear at a public hearing
before the full committee to demand
that the party go on record as endors-
ing the doctrine that workers have the
right to strike and that no public in
terest is higher than the right of the
mass of the toilers to protect them
selves against capitalistic exploitation.

BIC WOOD DRIVE
Generals Forces Start Eleventh
Hour Campaign.
Make Big Effort for Showing on
First Ballot.

Chicago, June "a terrific drive"
to make Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood the
presidential nominee of the Republi-
can party was launched here today.
The Wood forces started a simulta-
neous offensive from several angles.
Their strategy was directed by Frank
H. Hitchcock.
The sudden collapse of the opposi-
ton to Senator Watson of Indiana for
the Craftsmanship of the resolutions
committee late yesterday, and the al
most simultaneous selection of Senator
Lodge, temporary chairman of the
convention, as the permanent chair
man were among early indications, to
those initiated in political mysteries
that something was going on. Tracing
these results, investigators found in
dications that Hitchcock had had a
hand in bringing about the settlement
of the two spirited contests.
Reports of a deal on both the
permanent Craftsmanship and the reso-
lutions craftsmanship were flying to-
day. They were to the effect that
Hitchcock had stepped up to take the
reins of the Embossed" convention
and had made the arrangement for
putting Lodge and Watson in two of
the most important places in the con-
vention.
Another indication of the Wood Of
fensive was renewed pressure on dele
gates instructed for candidates other
than General Wood, to turn to Wood
after. technically fulfilling their obli-
cations on the first two or three
ballots.

HEAT THREATENS WHEAT
Grain Stands Good Chance of Being
Burned Next Two Weeks.

Kansas wheat stands chance of
being badly burned If too hot weather
occurs in the next two weeks, accord
ing to S. D. Flora, state meteorologist.
Flora was at Manhattan Tuesday
and examined several experim entail
wheat stations. The long delayed hot
weather setting in suddenly with ex-
ceptionally high degrees of temporal
ture has caused the wheat to ripen too
fast and it is already beginning to
show signs of burning. Flora says.
Corn, however, thrives on the pres
ent hot weather. For several we eks
corn would like to have a continuation
of the heat. Cooler weather. which
would be valuable TO wheat. would
merely delay the progress of corn for a
time. Alfalfa is ready for cutting and
dry, hot weather is desirable for this
