senator Johnson has accepted the

JOHNSON
TO FIGHT TO SAVE
DIRECT PRIMARIES
VIII Take Stump in States
Where Move IS On to Return
to Convention Methods.
By DGUid Laurence
Especial Correspondent Of The Eve.
ming Worldly

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10 Copyright,
1920 Senator Hiram Johnson Of Cll-
ifornia is turning his guns "on the
forces Of reaction" which are aiming to
eliminate the direct primary system
and go back to the convention method
OF selecting party candidates. Nj.
johnson win go out on the stump and
carry his cause to the people directly
in the states where the assault on tho
primary is greatest-New York. Iowa.
Indiana and Western States.
Senator johnson sees in the attitude
OF Gov. Miller OF New York and
the JtteranceS Of other Executives a
concerted attack on the primary sys-
TEN which he does not intend to pass
by without a hgbt. Speaking to-day
of the recent speech OF Charles
Evans Hughes defending the primary
system, ne said: At was brave
speech for man coming from New
York to make"
Discussing the citadels OF "reac-
ton" in America, Senator johnson
said that II the fight against the
direct primary were successful It
would eliminate progressivism alto
gether In American politics With
the removal Of the direct primary
system and return to the conven-
tion methods, Mr.. Johnson believes
politicians will be able to do about
as they please.

AoRANT FAULTS FOUND IN
PRIMARY SYSTEM.

Unquestionably some fragrant faults
have been found in the primary sys-
tenn, especially in tho West, where
tho Nom Plrtisan League has cap
tured the ell-advertised names Of
tho old parties and turned things up
SIDE down, but in the efforts to cure
such a situation the foes OF the whole
primary system Of nominations have
come to the fore. Modification and
destruction, however, are two different
things, and the friends OF the primary
here are unwilling TO admit that its
ills are irremediable.
This Is no sudden determination on
the part OF Hiram johnson. He told
the writer in Sacramento during the
campaign that he was far from sat
isfied with the way many of the dele
gates TO the Chicago Convention last
June disregarded the instructions OF
the people. He had very little COM
ment 20 make about the way Senator
Harding was nominated, for the Call-
fornia Senator was engaged in the
business of helping to defeat the pro-
League attitude OF tho Wilson Adj
minlstration. Now that the election
is over and the Republican Party is
in power, Mr.. Johnson emerges with
the cause OF progressivism at his
bosom, clinging desperately to II, to be
sure, in an age which he will admit
is fined with powerful reactionary
