POLITICIANS SHY
ON JOHNSON
COMMENT
Party Leaders Eager for News,
But Have Little to Say
on Candidacy.

Senator Johnson's statement an
nounctng he will seek the presiden-
tial nomination was generally inter.
preted here today as direct
challenge to President Coolidge to
submit his candidacy to the people
themselves.
The challenge, it was pointed out,
IL made plain in Senator Johnson's
assertion:
SIN those States where voters may
express their preference the issue
can be definitely decided; and,
hope all candidates viii participate
in the preferential primary.
President Told News.
Senator Johnson's announcement
was first communicated to the
White House by Universal Service
and was received by FraflI M.
Stearns, the Presidents close friend
and political adviser.
I Stearns said he had understood
Senator Johnson was to make such
an announcement. Beyond that he
had no comment to make On his
own behalf. Stearns communicated
the news to President Coolidge,
who was cioseted III hfs study at
work on his Forthcoming message
to Congress.
The Senator'S announcement was
received with keen interest in both
Republican and Democratic circles.
For the most part political leaders
reserved comment until they have
been able 10 take stock Of the
situation his candidacy creates.
AS an example Of this interest
many requested that the Senators
complete statement be read to them
over the telephone. Among these
were Col. Theodore Roosevelt, AZ.
sistaTit Secretary of the Navy. with
whose distinguished father Senator
Johnson was associated In the early
days Of this Progressive movement.
Both Colonel Roosevelt and Hep.

brotIer-in-law, listened to the
