(5) The Michigan verdict will affect
legislation in Washington in most
vital way. 1t will so affect the peace
treaty controversy. It will affect the
new military legislation. 1t VIII have
direct bearing on the pigeon-holed
treaty with France
These are but five selected points
(Which could as easily have been
made fourteen, but for an adherence
OF imitating) in epitomizing what is
thought to be the most pronounced
sentiments held in Washington on the
outcome in Michigan.
Senator Johnson had all the advan-
tages in Michigan except organization.
Here were his advantages:
He had campaigned that state thor
oughly in 1912, when he was the Bull
Moose candidate for vice president on
the ticket with the Colonel. The
Colonel was the idol of Michigan; still
is, for that matter He carried ii by
a great majority over both Wilson
and Taft. Johnson was the Colonel's
friend and running mate. Michigan
Republicans knew him and liked him.
They liked his speeches immensely.
Michigan in its industrial centers,
is radical. Detroit, take. recent re-
port of the Department of Justice for
1t, is the most radical city in the Unit
ed States. Senator Johnson's repu-
tation as governor of California and
as Bull Moose candidate (his reputa-
ton in the years when today's con-
servatiye in the eyes of many was a
red hot radically was that OF being
a radical. There is little however, in
his record as Senator to uphold his

vote in Detroit is sufficient to prove
that he was enthusiastically accepted
By the radicals, however their more
conservative brethren may have yoi-
.ed on HIM
Another advantage that he enjoyed
in Michigan was his continued advoz

buttons and made demands. He is,

ton. IN that state for many mouths.
Delegations of the parents of these
boys came to Washington from time
to time. Senator johnson was their
spokesman. He has q similar claim
on many families in Illinois, too, ,
is pointed out here.
While johnson is now to be "reck-
oned with seriously" few politicians
of any high standing as experts in
Washington go so far as to say that
they believe that johnson win be the
nominee of the Chicago convention.
On the contrary, a large majority viii

selves to believe that johnson viii.

sons to give. Nor do they think that
Wood or Lowden win be. But good
many do think that Harding may be.

ages from Mexico or pay that sum her
self, 1t was learned. Her intention to
make this issue Is known both to the
State department and to certain mem
bers OF Congress.
The British claims are based upon
damages to and deterioration OF oil
and other properties in Mexico, as well
as on the murder of William Benton
and various other British subjects dur
ing the past eight years. They will be
followed by similar claims from France
based In large part upon the spoila-
ton OF certain French banks in Mexico
City and their branches in other cities
throughout Mexico.
The liability OF the United States is
based by Great Britain on the alleged
fact that at the time Benton was shot
to death by Villa. she was about to
protect the lives and property of her
own nationals when President Wilson
interviewed and demanded what to all
intents and purposes was mandate
over Mexico for America.
