Fight to Finish Between John.
son and Food Gar.
DEFEAT TO ELIMINATE EITHER
Johnson Management Claims
10000 Majority.
Hoover Management Claims
10000 Majority.

san Francisco, May california is
nearing the close of the most desper-
ate primary campaign in its history.
The issue is a clear cut one of the
popularity of Senator Hiram Johnson
as against the popularity of Herbert
Hoover.
For weeks the johnson organizatio ion
has exerted itself TO elect twenty-six
delegates to the Chicago convention
pledged to johnson, while the Hoover
organization has gained a firm founda-
tion-firm enough to challenge every
effort that can be put forth by John
son men.
End Hoover Drive.
The campaign will not close until
the last ballot is cast at O'Clock the
night of May 4. Several big Johnson
meetings are scheduled for Monday.
The Hoover men, however will do lit
tie after today.
Bitterness was engendered largely
by the fact that johnson, after years
of political supremacy at home, sees
the, Republican nomination a distinct
possibility only to be attacked at the
most vital spot--his home stately
another Californian, who during these
years has not been in politics.
johnson men are making sweeping
claims of a decisive victory for Tues
day. S. L. Carnahan, Johnson mana
ger for the western states, predicted
today that johnson would carry Cali
fornia by a minimum of 5000 votes.
Ralph P. Merritt, California man
ager for Hoover, predicted that
Hoover will carry the state by a ma
jority of at least $4,000.
Defeat Will Eliminate Hoover.
Merritt claimed. that Hoover has
only to gain a foothold in California
to make himself a powerful candidate
for the nomination at Chicago. Car
nahan. however, declared that a de-
feat for Hoover in California will
eliminate him as presidential timber.
There have been as many issues in
this campaign as there have been
classes in California. The League of
Nations issue has been minimized. al
tho Hoover is for the league with
reservations while Johnson is an ir-
reconcilable. Hoover men claim that
Hoover has been "plastered with
mud" They say that they have been
unable to even buy advertising space
in certain johnson newspapers. They
decry the fact that the League of Ma
tons issue has been subordinated to
what they term are minor class issues.

DON'T BLAME DAD.
Majority of Students at Manhat-
tan We're Not Sent.
FOrty-Three Per Cent Are Pay
ing Their Own Way.

Manhattan, Kan, May Sta
tistics recently compiled in the regis
trar's office would seem to indicate
that the majority of students who are
attending school here, came not be-
cause dad sent them and agreed to
pay the bill; but rather because they
had determined to get an education
of their own free will, even if without
any help from home.
There are As per cent of the stu
dents who are entirely self support
ing, IL per cent who are partially
self supporting and SO per cent who
do not earn any of their expenses.
Thirteen per cent of the students gave
no data as to their financial support.
That Kansas is great agricultural
state is convincingly shown by the
fact that 46 per cent of the students
have parents who are engaged
in agricultural pursuits, with farmers
in the lead with 1885 representatives
and cattlemen next with 13.
In the lists of parents occupations
there were Ill different kinds. among
the most numerous being farmers,
cattlemen, bankers, carpenters. con-
tractors, housekeepers, merchants,
ministers, real estate. railroads. sales
men and teachers. 1t is doubtful If
there is any UNCONVENTIONAL school
in the state which could boast of any
more ministers families being repre-
scented in their student body than can
h. s. A. c. with a total of 81.
In addition to the ministers fami-
lies there are three students who have
parents in missionary work. Out of a
total of 3,04S students enrolled in COL
lege for this year there were only 154
who have retired parents.
