Washington. May 5.-H. N. ST.
Johnson now has stiungle hold on his
considerably perturbed party as the
result OF yesterdays primaries In In
diana and California, coming as they
did atop of series Of victories both
literal and moral lpiled up during the
past few weeks
This is the view taken here among
members of all parties after analyzipg
the returns from Tuesdays hattie in
the middle west and on the Pacific
coast.
The use the senator from California
will put his advantage to, however, has
set the politicians here guessing.

A Knox johnson ticket is being talked
here in animated fashion among reg

crowd gives the impression that
Johnson Knox ticket might be possible,
but never a Knox ohnson one. The
mere fact that regulars" admit john

for second place, is considered as
complete about-face for the old guard
