and plausible are the ex-

Of the strange alignment of political
forces in this State in the pending

For that alignment is curious to

Finally it displays Hiram Johnson
as seeking and enjoying
support from precisely those eIe-

forces in the State which he has
hitherto roundly denounced and
which have always fought him.
Observers of the political scrim-
mage have several explanations to
give of these phenomena. Here is
one:
Johnson has long been a thorn in
the side Of old line politicians like
Crocker, De Young. former Senator
Frank Flint and John Knowland,
owner of the Oakland Tribune and a
relic of the Southern Pacific days
of power. They have never been
able to beat him in the State and
have undertaken this
year to put him out of power by
more sinister political methods.
