This slogan is heard on all sides In

proaches.
While various deals and counter deals
are under way between supporters Of
various candidates, there appears to be
less and less talk that either Wood or
johnson will win.
Wood, particularly, on account Of his
lavish campaign expenditures, for one
thing, has practically put himself out
of the running after having been
strong contender from the outset.
johnson hackers, while putting up
bold front, privately admit the growing
strength Of Lowden.
CLAIM JOHNSON WILL
WIN ON SIXTH BALLOT.
This was evidenced today by the issu-
ance Of statement from Johnson head
quarters to the effect that Hiram means
to make an uncompromising fight for the
nomination and that under no circum-
stances would he accept the vice presi-
dency."
The statement followed the report that
an offer had been made to the Califor-
nian to run as a vice presidential candi-
date with Lowden leading the ticket
There is no doubt that Johnson will
be nominated on the sixth ballot" said
the statement.
Meanwhile the Lowden men are sitting
