SENATOR JOHNSON
FACES HARD FIGHT
FOR DENOMINATION
Opposed in Tomorrow's
Primary by C. C. Moore,
OF San Francisco.

Leading Republicans From
House and Senate Speak
For Hale.
INTEREST IN MAINE

Three primaries tomorrow and
preparation for the first of the gen.
eral elections-that in Maine, Sep
tember 11-hold the center of the
political stage this week. Inciden-
tally the Maine election enters into
the legislative situation in Con-
gress. Numerous Senators and
Representatives have speaking dates
in Maine this week and next.
which fact. coupled with the al
ready reduced attendance in both
houses. adds to the difficulty of CIV
ing full consideration to importan,
measures pending.
OF the three primaries-in Cali.
fornia, Montana and South Carolina
interest centers primarily on Cali
fornia, where Senator Hiram John
son is running for denomination
opposed by Charles c. Moore. OF
San Francisco, president of the
Panama-Pacific Exposition. who has
developed a tremendous backing.
The fight against johnson has di-
vided the State of California into
two big Republican camps and a
record primary vote is expected.
johnson Victory Predicted.
There are some 100000 registered
Republicans in California with
about 100000 registered Democrats
and between 10000 and 100000
voters who have not stated their
party preference. johnson. who
has been carrying on a vigorous
personal campaign, is regarded as
fighting as never Before for his
political future, but is expected, by
nonpartisan observers, to win.
The Democratic Senatorial candi-
date in California Is William J.
Pearson. a farmer, and the farmers
of the State are preparing to con-
duct a vigorous campaign in his
behalf.
The Maine election commands
wide interest for two reasons:
l. The Republicans. wishing to
make a clean sweep of their slate.
from Senator Hale down. because Of
the psychological effect Of this early
election on the general elections in
November. are turning loose on
Maine all their big speaking guns
from both the House and Senate.
2. Because, of both the number
and personnel of the speakers the
Housesand Senate between now and
September II will be deprived of
some of those votes which can be
counted upon To follow the admins
tration.

less of the loss of outstanding Free

These messages pledge both sides

The validity of the treaty,

in any way by the death of Arthur

Free State army: the retirement Of
Gavan Duffy. who was Grifith's for

split with Griffith.

Churchill says. "will in no way af :

settlement entered into with the

provisional government and the
Irish people feel 1t an all the more

into between the two islands. For
our part. We hold ourselves bound
on the basis of the treaty and we
will meet good faith with good
faith; good will with good will to

themselves to carry on their work
in behalf of the treaty.

was stated.
I'VE have accepted the challenge
of the executives on behalf of our
men and I am getting out a circular
letter to them informing every
member that the fight is up TO
them" Jewell said.
There need be no more talk about
separate settlements. as my letter
to the men will point out. The or
ganizations are in exactly as strong
position to insist upon a national
settlement as the carriers. j am
more confident of success today than

last five weeks. We know where
we stand and we will govern our
selves accordingly.
"Both Sides Even Now.
The carriers have declared that
peace talk has interfered with thei
recruiting in the shops: that men
would not go into the shop IL they
thought peace was to be declared.
The strikers on the other hand
would not go on the picket line
while there was peace talk, but
from this time on we will be able
to tenn the men just what to ex-
pect.
THE union leaders are confident
that the report of the Interstate Com
