SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. a.
Reputation by the Republicans Of

primary system-fundament prin:
ciple OF progressivism--was one OF
the reasons advanced by Senator
Hiram johnson for the landslide
which swept Al Smith into the gov
ernor's chair by 400. 900 majority.
Johnson today received the con
gratulations of his friends on his
Unprecedented majority Of 400, 900.
greater than he, has ever received
in his political life.
johnson, In an exclusive inter.
view with Cosmopolitan News
Service today declared:
There's a perfectly natural re.
action after every great political
upheaval like that Of 1920 and this
in part accounts for the results OF
yesterdays elections. But another
thing, too. contributed. Take New
York. for example.
1.-The Republicans there destroyed
the direct primary and went back
to the old convention system. They
repudiated the fundamental principle
OF Republican progressivisn. .
Certain politicians apparently
secure In the domination Of the old
reacuopary philosophy forgot the
people, The people. though denied
expression in the greater part OF
the press, misrepresented by most
Of the so called correspondents, who
syndicate their stuff, are at heart

had their opportunity Of expression

Suddenly, when he came
before Clarence A. Chisin, said
to be a detective, he stopped his
machine, skipped off, and picked
something off the pavement.
He examined It, and shouted,
"a diamond ring!"
He tried It on his fingers,
but it did not fit. So Chisin,
thinking he knew a bargain
when he saw one, bought II for

trick on Allen Reidy and Henry
