The Baltimore and Ohio, Mr.. Will

spend $13.o00,000 before 1928 under
present New York laws to electrify
its tunnels to Staten Island. 1t would
likewise be forced to find a new route

Central Of New Jersey and the Sec

trunk line railroad route from the

of trackage rights over the Penn

son men, will tell you he has lost
caste mainly because he has essayed
the dangerous and difficult task OF
carrying progressive water on one
shoulder and "reactionary" water on
the other. They declare that he is
progressive at election-time In the
west and conservative and stand-pat
in the east a good deal of the other
time. Old progressives of the Borah-
Kenyon school, who were Johnson ad-
herents in 1920. charge Johnson with
deserving the faith when he supported
the Observation-Disclosures tariff and the
ship subsidy bill and when he found
it convenient to be absent while the
Senate was voting to unseat or win
dicate" Senator Newberry.
The ardent prohibitionists, too, are
lined up against Johnson. While he
is not definitely on record as a wet,
they charge him with anti-prohibi-
tfon leanings. Finally, there is a
strong prologue and world ID, court l,T

spring of 1923, when a congressional
election was held there. the pro-

Johnson's Record In 1920.
What politicians are asking is
where Senator Johnson, with condi-
tions vastly less advantageous for
him than they were In 1920. Is going
to capture the delegates necessary
to make a better showing than he
made then. Johnson's high-water
mark at the Chicago convention,
achieved on the third ballot, was 146
votes. It included only two solid
delegations-Califor Of twenty
six and Michigan's of thirty. John
sons other chief strength came from
Illinois. Nebraska and New Jersey.
with, scattering votes from Indiana,
Missouri, Montana. New York, North
Dakota, Oregon and ten or twelve
other states.
In 1920 the republican contest was
a fair field and no fayor--a genuine
free for-alI. 1t Is that now, techni-
cally. but with the difference that any
aspirant seeking the nomination must
go before the country and assail the
reigning administration and the OFF,
cial leader Of the republican party
in this case Calvin Coolidge. What
rank and file republicans will say to
republican who hands the demo-
cratic enemy priceless ammunition by
denouncing the Coolidge regime as

Mayor Chapdelaine took matters into his own hands last Wednesday in regard to a summer uniform for the local police by giving his permis- sion for all officers to dof their heavy woolan blouses and appear in caps, white shirt, dark tie, and blue trou- sers.
