San Francisco. Calf. May S.
Charges of Meyer Lissner, southern
California manager for Senator Hi
ram w. Johnson, made public to-
day, that the Herbert Hoover cam
paign in the southern part of this
state, was the worst saturnalia of
political extravaganza that was
ever exposed or conducted in
southern California" were denied
here tonight by John F. Lucey of
New York, chairman of the Hoov-
er republican club who participat-
ed in the Hoover primary campaign
in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Lucey characterized Mr..
Lissner's charges as an effort ito
explain the loss of Los Angeles
county by Senator johnson to Mr..
Hoover and an excuse for the dis
reputable political methods em-
ployed by Mr.. Lissner. Tammany
Hall, in its palmiest days never
conducted a political campaign
such as the one conducted by Mr..
Lissner in southern California in
behalf of Senator Johnson" Mr..
Lucey added.
Johnson's Expenses.
Expenses of Senator Johnson's
primary campaign in California
were estimated by Mr.. Lucey as
"between 100000 and $250.000
and his billboard advertising alone
would cost more than the entire
expenditures of the Hoover organi-
zation in the state of California"
Senator Johnson was supported
in California by reactionaries whom
he has been denouncing for the
past ten years" Mr.. Lucey said.
"He did not dare come into the
state during the primary campaign
because he would have been COM
PEELED to have changed his mind
about three persons. AS far as the
Southern Pacific political machine
was concerned, there was no one
connection with the southern Pa
cific railroad directly or indirectly
identified the Hoover campaign,
and Senator Johnson knows it.
I'VE welcome the public audit
mentioned by Mr.. Lissner, and be-
leve there is good opportunity for
Senator Borah to demonstrate to
the American people whether he is
sincere in his repeated requests for
investigation and publicity con-
corning campaign expenses of pres
idential candidates.
Hoover Spent Only S2O,0o0.
The expense of conducting the
campaign for Mr.. Hoover in south
ern California did not exceed s20,-
00O." Mr.. Lucey said.
Mr., Lucey said Mr.. Lssner's
charges of excessive expenditures
had been made originally the day
before the California primary. He
said the Hoover organization in
southern California had challenged
Mr.. Iissner that same day to pub
lie audit of expenditures of both
organizations. Mr.. Lucey said he
remained in Los Angeles two days
after the election awaiting a reply
from Mr.. Lisner. He said Mr..
Lissner had not replied.
Mr.. Lucey is leaving California
tomorrow for New York. He pre-
viously had resided in California
for thirty years, and knew Senator
Johnson as boy in Sacramento, he
said.

ADM|N|ST TRAT|ON
RESPONSIBLE FOR
SUGAR SHORTAGE
Failure to Buy Cuban Crop
Brought on Present Situa-
ton: Ration to Non-ES-
SentiaIS Is Recommended

t1N MORNING JopRhAL SPECIAL IHAstp WiRHl
Washington, May S-Rationing of
sugar of manufacturers of non-es-
sentials and an agreement between
the United States and foreign
countries not to bid against each
other for this commodity were sug-
gested today by Herbert Hoover as
means of relieving the present
sugar situation.
Mr.. Hoover's suggestions were
contained in a telegram to Senator
Capper, Kansas. republican, in re-
sponse to one of inquiry from the
senator. Mr.. Hoover SAID the gov
ernment was primarily responsible
for the present situation through
the failure to purchase the Cuban
crop.
"The present sugar position Is
due simply to bad business admin
istration," said Mr. Hoover. Last
September the administrator could
have bought the Cuban sugar crop
at 6h cents per pound. for raw
sugar. This would have given 12-
cent sugar to our consumers. As
the result of failure to act we are
subject to unparalleled speculation
and profitoering. The increase in
price is imposing an additional tax
on our people of about $50 per
family per annum."
THE prOfiteering is interna-
tiOnal This SitIatiOn cannot

putting a few people In Jail. Some
thing could be done to remedy mat
ters If our government even now
entered into negotiations with the
large European governments, to
stop bidding against each other
and secure our fair share of the
available supplies.
"The second thing that could be
done to break this gigantic bubble
of speculation would be to reduce
through immediate
rationing of the nom essential con-
sumers. over one-third of our
sugar Is used by the candy, sweet
drinks and other manufacturers of

these trades patriotically cooper

trade. They would no doubt CO.
