WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE

Senator Hiram w. Johnson, now en-
route to California. is visiting his
home state for the first time in near
ly a year. That is one of the COM
plants, this observer gathers that
Californians have against Johnson
and probably has a good deal to do
with his confessed loss of prestige
there. Other native sons" charge that
Hiram" has been too busy trying
to remain presidential timber and not
busy enough being a United States
senator from California. Yet Johnson
secured highly advantageous treat
ment for California fruit products in
the new Fordney- -McCumber tariff.
Friend w. Richardson, elected gov
ernor of the state in 1922. is the new
thorn in Johnson's side. hitherto
pricked mainly by Herbert Hoover.
Richardson ran far ahead of John
sons majority at last years election.
He was busy up to the late Presi-
dents death in organizing California
for Harding in 1924.

attempt to break up any lawful meet

ment to disorder. Some time ago Gov.
Pinchot felt called upon to make
drastic changes in the special police
