Then again. read The Evening

JOHNSON IN ChILOEhlAs
10 ths Editor Of Ths Evening World;
AS resident OF California l am
not surprised that the people Of other
states should misunderstood the po-
rtical conditions here so far as they
affected the late primary in this
State. Johnson's friends in this State
have been working directly and indi-
rectly for several years to get him
dominated for the Presidency Every
thing that johnson as Governor and
United states Senator could do to that
end was done.
Every newspaper that could be
corralled was corralled. Every news
paper OF any size in San Francisco
was used TO boost the Johnson vote.
In the whole state there was only
one large daily paper working for
Hoover, and that one was in Los An
geles County, one Of the two most
populous counties, and that county
gave Hoover a majority OF 1,6OO.
The Johnson boosters were very
active for months previous to the
primary, while the Hoover men We're
only working in quiet way for
few weelCs. II Is we'll known here
that more than 100000 Republicans in
this state would not vote for johnson
for President and that more THAI Co.
600 Democrats would vote for Hoover

FOUNTAIN DRINKS TO
PROBABLY ADVANCE

The local soda fountain proprietors
are seriously considering the question
of advancing the price of all drinks
sold at their counters. The greatly
increased cost of sugar, as well as all
syrups and other soda fountain pro-
ducts, have made it impossible for
the dealer to realize a profit if the
prices now charged in Columbus are
maintained.
1t is a well-known fact that for
several months in nearly every city
in the south soda drinks have been
selling forty or fifty per cent higher
than in Columbus, but local dealers
have refrained from advancing their
price, and the result is that in a
majority Of cases the soda fountain is
losing proposition.
SO the probability is that in the
near future you will have to pay a
penny or two more for this luxury
when you visit the soda fountain and
call for your favorite drink.

PICTURE MAN
INTHE MOVIES

A new star appeared on the movie
screen hoizon Thursday evening. Col
umbians who attended the Princess
Theatre were attracted and delighted
with the appearance of a corpulent,
Fatty Arbuckle rival type, of actor
appearing in one of the pictures.
He was making a decided hit with
the movie fans and suddenly it dawn
ed upon the audience that it was the
genial and popular manager of the
Princess, Mr.. E. L. Kuykendall. All
were wondering how he had happened
to break into reel life. But it was
solved when the real life he and his
companions were enjoying. They were
all convivial natures, as was evidenc-
ed by the antics they displayed while
the camera man was grinding away.
From the action in the play the direc-
tor must have. been yelling, "Give me
action, more action, there, hurry,
come on"
1t was a picture of the Saenger
Convention in New Orleans during
Mardi Gras. Mr.. Kuykendall was
complimented by the Sanger people
by giving him a screen title announce
ment.

REED REPUDIATED.

Joplin, Mo-, April 24.--The Demo-
cratic state convention in session here
early today broke from precedent
when the senior United States Sena-
tor was not selected as a delegate at
large to the National Convention. The
Senator, James A. Reed, has been one
of the bitterest opponents of the pro-
posed league of nations, and had an
nounced that if chosen as a delegate
at large he would not be bound by
Instructions to vote for a plank en-
dorsing the league.
Governor Frederick D. Gardner,
Judge w. w. Graves, of Jefferson
City; DR.. Burris A. Jenkins, pastor,
and newspaperman Of Kansas City,
and Judge John S. Harrington,
Springfield, were named delegates at
large, with a half vote each, four
women to be named later.
The election of delegates came at
the close of what party leaders said
was one of the stormiest sessions in
Missouri Democratic politics.

CAILLAUx CONVICTED.

Paris, April 24.-Sentence of three
years Imprisonment was imposed up
on former Premier Joseph Caillaux,
Friday, convicted by the high court
of commerce and intelligence with the
enemy. The time during which he
was under arrest will be deducted,
however, leaving him but one month
to serve.
One feature of the penalty which
will be inflicted upon Joseph Caillaux,
former premier Of France, who Fri
day was convicted of commerce and
correspondence with the enemy" was
the loss of his right to vote and eligi-
bility to hold public office. This was
decided upon by the Senate, sitting
as high court, when it resumed its
sessions behind closed doors at 1890
o'clock this morning to discuss the
test of the verdict. 1t was agreed
"that he should not lose his other ciwc
rights"

AFTER SPEEDERS

Mayor McClanahan is dissatisfied
with the results attending his en-
forcement of the speeding law. He
has been lenient with offenders, filming
them five dollars for the first offense
and ten dollars for the second offense.
But he is not getting results.
From $500 to $500 will be the
fine in the future, and if these
amounts do not stop violations, fifty
dollars will be imposed. Not only
will these fines be imposed, but plain
clothes men are going on duty in ears.
These cars will be run on the prinei-
pal streets at the speed limit, and any
ear that passes them viii violate the
law, the number will be taken, and
the owner hailed into court.
Keep within the limit and save
money.
