cilable' to go from Washington to
face the voters. There are four
Republican "super-irreconcilab
Borah, France. Johnson, and La
Toilette. These four Senators voted
both against the League of Nations
and against the four-power treaty.
They are the only Republican Sen
ators who voted irreconcilably
against both documents.
o. 90 the four of them there are
three who must face the voters this
49,, $3.50. IneSI three are France
in Maryland, johnson in California,
and La Toilette in Wisconsin. And
out of these three it is Johnson who
is facing the voters first. The ver-
dict will be heard and noted in Lon
don, Paris, and Tokyo.
It will check a certain propaganda
in Washington or else 1t will encour-
age and increase it. This propa-
ganda is for, sending an American
to sit officially in the reparations
commission at Paris under the treaty
Of Versailles. 1t is also for proceed
ing on the basis of the four-power
treaty to a closer union with Japan
in the Far East. 1t wants us to sit
in Europe in a commission with the
European winners of the late war
against the European losers OF the
late war. 1t wants us to sit in the
Far East with the Japanese apart
from the Chinese and the Siberians.
1t sleeplessly wants to plunge us into
special friendship and special
enmities on both sides of the world.
It assails Washington with leaf.
let's, pamphlets and booklets in every
mail: 1t visits Washington personally
through people representing societies,
associations. committees alliances,
federatiOns, mass meetings, ciuDs'
churches, and chautauQuas. II Is
propaganda Of high conscience and
Of stupendous national volume.
Except in the Hearst newspapers,
there is no answer Of any national
volume whatsoever being made to II.
It floods the country and tomorrow
the Republican statesmen OF WASH
ington will look to see how high It's
waves have risen in California.
II johnson wins by only a narrow
margin in California, then Washing
ton will go slipping on toward spe,
cial accommodations at Paris ana
at Tokyo. II johnson crushes his
opponent, then Washington will
pause.
In Montana and In Connectlcut
there are two extremely conserVa'
tive United States Senators whose
terms are this year drawing TO
close. The question Is: Will they De
succeeded by progressivesf
In Montana the extremely conser-
vative Senator whose term IL expir-
ing is Myers, a Democrat.
In Connecticut, II Is Mclean, a
Republican. The Republicans hope
to elect Myers successor In Mon
tana. The Democrats hope 70 elect
McLean's in Connecticut.
In Montana, Myers has refused
to run to succeed himself. 1t Is
not believed that anybody could
succeed him who could be more
conservatives. The principal candi-
dates tomorrow in Montana for the
Democratic nomination to succeed
Myers will be ex.Congressman Tom
Stout, who possesses a popular
newspaper at Lewistown In the
wheat belt of Montana, and ex-
United States District Attorney
Burton K. Wheeler, who practices
law at Butte and who two years
ago got the Democratic nomination
for governor by means Of help
given to him by the Non.Partisan

nomination will be Congressman
Carl w. Riddick, who asserts that
he is the only real actual dirt"

ever came to Congress, and also
the first woman who ever left It.
Wellington d. Rankin is a highly
brilliant, dashing person who went
