in the abstract but to visit frowns of
disapproval if nothing worse on the con-
crete case of the Republican nominee for
governor. Mr.. Richardson.
On top of all this, the Democrats
and not Il few Republicans who insist
they alone are the true Progressives-
call Mr.. Richardson a 'reactiOnary."
Beside Mr. Richardson, they declare that
the Hon. Mr.. Croker and others whom
Hiram Johnson has described as reac-
tiOnaries would, be angles of prOgressiv-
ism.
The newspapers owned by William
Randolph Hearst, which have been con-
spicuous in their support of Hiram John
son in his various campaigns. are lining
up for Thomas Woolwine. the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor, on the
/ ground that he Is Il real Progressive in
| the race. This, il is contended so, for

! ciples advocated by none other than Hi

| iority of 10000 against Hughes chiefly
! because the latter was alleged to have

| wing in this state.
| Hiram johnson may not have the big
majority he got in 1916 but his hold on

increasing by leaps and bounds. The
business men here are squelehing talk

fornia seems an integral part of the
wave of business activity which has fol-
lowed in the wake of the war.

SUBSIDY FOR ROME'S
HOUSE SHORTAGE
Government Appropriates Millions to
Loan Home Builders - Terrible
Congestion of Families

ROME, Oct 1.-THE "house hun
GER as the lack of dwellings is called
in Italian, is increasing in Rome. Ac-
cording to a statement by DIR. Raimondi.
municipal councillor, Rome, city of
660000 inhabitants, needs 100000 more
rooms to house its population.
The surplus of people is now living in
spnhealthy and immoral conditions, DIR.
Raimondi says. There are some quar-
tiers of the city where each room is oc
cupied by from six to eight people in the
greatest proIniscility, land ut Porta Me-
tronia. one of the poorest districts of
Rome. Is persons are living in three
rooms
Also at the very gates of Rome por-
tion of the population has reverted to the
troglodytic period and lives in grottoes
excavated in the hills, while others have
built straw huts to house their families.
This state of affairs is a consequence
of the war. On account of the rise in
the price of building materials, the con-
Struction of houses ceased practically
entirely for about eight years. The gov
eminent has tried to meet the situation
by appropriating S00.000.000 lire tat
par 100000, 1000 to be loaned at three
per cent to workmen, civil servants, etc,
for the purpose of home building. Such
an amount. however, is not enough, ac-
cording to DIR. Raimondi, for it provides
only for the construction of about 30,00O
rooms. This. together with 10000
rooms which are being built by private
| individuals without state subsidy, makes
n total of 10000 rooms, leaving 10000
more to be built within the next three
years A further subsidy of 600.000.00C
| lire is being agitated.
