POPULAR VICTORY
ASSERTS JOHNSON
Experiment OF Going Direct to
/ Voters Proved Success,
Senator Says.

, NEW YORK, April THE people
are good enough for me"
senator Hiram w. Johnson yester-
day thus explained his great triumph
in the Michigan Presidential prima-
ries.
ModestIy concealing his elstion' the
Senator continued: q,
1T was a marvellous victory, and
am more than grateful 10 the good
people of Michigan. We met there'
as in North Dakots, South Dakota
and Minnesota, organized politics and
organized exploited wealth In poll
tics, and whipped both. We had not
single paid employe In the state,
nor did we have any organization at
all.
Plenty of Money Used.
"our opponents were supplied with
splendidly equipped organizations
and more money probably than has
ever been used at a puprely primary
contest in any State. Yet we carried
the State by nearly $4,000 plurality
We polled more votes I'm Detroit than
all the other candidates combined.
"We have demonstrated that an
American with mo other attributes
than those God has given him can
meet the power and wealth which are
accustomed to control politics and
win before a free people.
"I frankly told the Michigan voters
in my speeches that l was trying an
experiment. i had tried II in North
Dakota and won. I tried II In South
Dakota and all but won. Trick pri-
maries were played against me In
Minnesota and yet I carried the big
cities, and would have carried ma
jority of the country districts had
the voters there known that prima-
ries were being held.
Michigan was the first real big
popular test. II was the first big
state with a preferential primary
with nothing on the ballot but the
names of the candidates. And 1 am
delighted with the result
Encouraged by Result.
~ do wish We had similar law
in New York. hope that ere another
primary is held more than fourteen
of the States will have genuine Prssi-
Dental preference laws on their stat
ute books, and / shall do all can to
secure them.

great encouragement in New Jersey
and other States. My experiment has
