GAS0L Inc CUT Plan Is ADOPTED D
) Leaders to Maintain Balance
IN Hiram Johnson and Cal Coolidge
ntrol of Favorite Sons Means of Senator's Backers
to Assure His Nomination to Presidency Next
Year-Court to Figure in Choice

that as things now stand he is both
the strongest man in the republican
field and also the one most entitled
to the nomination.
So far as that goes any accurate
record of facts must include the state
ment that several other republican
leaders. up to the time Harding died
and Coolidge stepped into the pic
ture, were with Johnson in thinking
that as the republican candidate next
year he could stir up more interest
and bring out more votes than any
other man.
Before Harding's death there were
a good many state leaders who
wished that somehow events might
turn out so as to put Johnson at
the head of the ticket because they
thought he could make a more stir
ring campaign and move surely carry
some of the doubtful states than
Harding could. These state leaders,
although they wished they might
nominate Johnson, did not intend to.
Their intention was to nominate
Harding Dy Ources OIL the ldct tiidt hc
was already in office.
Tide Turns to Coolidge.
When Harding was eliminated by
death, the first thought of this group
was that now they had their chance
to put johnson forward. Within the
past week, however. that sentiment
subsidized and was succeeded by the
thought that Coolidge, il events go
The aggregate of these favorite
well with him, may be perfectly ac-
ceptable nominee next year.
And so the net result Of the dis
cussions that took place last week
was an informal decision to keep
things in equilibrium. They are to
be kept in equilibrium. but they are
not to be let get out of control. The
theory is not to put johnson for
ward. and not to put Coolidge for
ward.
Most decidedly the intention is not
to let Coolidge get into position
where he can control things and get
the nomination for himself regard
less Of the powerfuS senators and
state leaders. The way to avoid this
is to have convention in which
there will be a large number OF
favorite sons. with their state dele
cations pledged to them.

BY MARK SULLIVAN.

Washington, Aug. 13.-It may be
oious taste to begin President Cool
I. g first week of actual RESPONSE
cal political situation as it affects
him. But If one is to set down events
as they are this must be accepted
as in the front. What the politicians
do the reporter must record.
The discussions last week first
centered around the name of Hiram
johnson. Johnson personally has
against Coolidge-hothing. that is to
say. except that from Johnson's point
of view Coolidge is walking around
in his shoes and sleeping every night
in his bed. IL you reflect on the
position Johnson had In the 1912 cam
paign as running mate to Roosevelt;
il you reflect further that in 1916
Hughes, as the republican presidential
candidate, lost that office because he
lost California, whereas Johnson, as
a senatorial candidate carried it by
300, 900; if you reflect finally that in
1920 johnson showed greater personal
strength in the popular primaries
than the other candidates, and prob
ably 10 times as much strength as
Harding, who actually got the prize;
il, most dramatic of all, you reflect
that johnson was actually rendered
by Harding the vice presidential Of
flee which Coolidge was given only.
after johnson refused 1t. and that If
johnson had accepted he, instead OF
Coolidge, would have been president
today-if' you reflect on all these
things you can realize what would
be the present point of view and
temper of much meeker man than
Hiram johnson is.
johnson Is Strongest.
1t involves no perversion of human
nature IL johnson thinks the repub-
lican party might have been in power
all the time since 1912 il they had
accepted his early leadership and
later candidacy. II Johnson thinks
he has reason to believe that he
could have carried the country Tor
the republicans in 1916 whereas
Hughes failed, and that he, II ne
has his rights, should have got the
nomination that Harding got IN
1920, it needs no stretch OF under
standing of human nature TO realize
ii is not strange IL johnson thinks
