"DO YOU WANT ANOTHER FOUR

QUERY IN NOMINATING HIRAM
BY United Press.

By United Press.
Coliseum, Chicago, June l1.-Chas.
S. Wheeler of San Francisco today
placed Senator Hiram Johnson in
nomination before the Republican
convention. Wheeler drove hard on
the claim that Johnson's nomination
would assure Republican victory
do you want another four years
oi the Wilson family in the White
House?" he declared. "lf you insist
that the father Of the dynasty shall
abdicate, do you want the people
then to take up the crown prince? :?
If you do not, then why gamble with
chance? Why close your eyes to the
obvious? Why not admit to yourself
what every man of political vision
already knows-that there is one
Republican who can sweep the coun-
try whose nomination will carry
with IL the absolute certainty Of
election? The platform alone, he
said, won't win an election It's the
candidate the people lyote for.
"A yellow dog is impossible and a
dark horse cannot win. If you ex
pee. their vote, do not offer to them
cold capable, nerveless, unsympa-

He defended Johnson against
charges Of being a red saying that
he was radical only in his attitude
