SAN FRANCISCO, RI May 19.-Cali-
fornia's twenty-six Gelegates to the
republican national convention at
Chicago met here today to choose
the alternates who will go with them,
composing the complete California
body that will seek to advance the
candidacy of Senator Hiram Johnson.
The twenty-siX alternates, it was
said, will be chosen with the one OBJ
ject in view of gathering together the
strongest possible working organiza'
tion.
Senator Johnson himself will be
one of the alternates and will shatter
a precedent by appearing on the floor
of the convention to fight for his
platform of irreconcilable opposition
to the league of nations.
An attempt will be made to organize
the fifty-two Californians into a fight
ing body ready to meet any emer-
gency and put over their candidate
in the face OF any odds.
Keen rivalry has existed for the
alternate posts. Both the alternates
and delegates will pay their own ex-
penses. Aithough Ire defesates are
supposed to have some SAY as to
who their alternates shall be, it is
said personalities will be sacrificed
to efficiency.
