Chicago.-The fight is onl
United States Senator Hiram
Johnson of California formally
announced his candidacy for the
Republican nomination for Presi-
dent on Progressive platform.
Accompanying hiss declaration was
a brief pronouncement accentuating
the outstanding issues on which he
will go into every State in the Union
in his fight for national delegates.
The two great issues. as he puts
them. are:
1. The age-old contest between the
forces Of reaction and progress in do
nestle affairs.
2. The overshadowing question as
to whether the United States shall
continue on the program laid down by
Washington and his associates or
whether the nation shall now embark
on career of foreign intrigue and
entanglements that may mean its dis
Indignation.
The very existence OF the Repub-
lican Party. he declared. Is threatened
by the forces of reaction at Wash
ington.
On one side in this crisis of the
republic he said, are arrayed the ultra
conservative resisting the march Of
the human race along the highway Of
progress and on the other side the
force that recognizes all existing
rights. but is forward-looking.
The foreign policy Of the nation, he
stated, is perhaps. Of greater i'm
pertance at this hour than our do.
nestle difficulties.
81 am against the League Of Nations
and all its subsidiaries" his statement
reads.
The Senator announced that he
would appeal to the electorate in every
State in the Union. He added:
"In those StateY where the voters
may express their preference the issue
can be definitely decided. and I hope
all candidates will participate in the
presidential preference primaries. In
cluding California, and cheerfully ac-
quiesee in the result
mo man who asp7res to the highest
office in the gift of the American peo-
pie should shrink from a verdict by
those he seeks to serve. and equally
none is entitled to the Presidency
whom the people do not want"
Senator Johnson made his an
nouncement to newspaper men at his
suite in the Drake Hotel. None OF
his political chiefs was present.
Senator johnson also made clear
that he will not make the mistake he
did in 1920. when he recognized "fav-
orite sons" and kept out of the pri-
maries in many States. He said:
There will be no favorite sons this
time as far as am concerned Every
State will be battle-ground, where
there may be opposition. This is a
campaign in which the people will
determine the result"
CoincIdent with the Johnson an

at Omaha. virtually declared his can.

sS,ooo,ooo For Care Of Insane
An appropriation of more than
s3,000,000 will be asked for the mainte-
nance during 1925. 1925 and 1927 Of
the States five hospitals for insane
and feeble-minded patients. This an
nouncement was made by DR.. Arthur
P. Herring, secretary OF the State
Lunacy Commission.
This appropriation is for mainte-
nance only. DR.. Herring said, and will
not be applied to the erection Of new
buildings, although out Of It will come
the money for considerable alterations
and repairs to present buildings. The
appropriation for maintenance OF these
institutions during 1923 and 1924
amounted to $i,274.7s6.02, It was said
The increased cost Of maintenance.
DR.. Herring explained, is due to 1900
more patients and higher salaries for
personnel.
During 1895, 1926 and 1927 the State
will take care Of insane patients who
formerly we're inmates Of Bay View
Hospital, where, Dr. Herring said. an
average Of from II to IA patients have
been admitted weekly The pay OF
hospital orderlies will be increased to
s45 and $50 monthly. This, he said
will be done to prevent the large turn
over The salaries of house physicians
will be increased to from $500 to
$500, he said.
BY January 1, 1924" DR.. Herring
said, I'VE hope to have all patients in
the insane hospital at Bay View re-
moved to State institutions. This will
result in great saving for the city
Of Baltimore. 1t has been estimated
that the cost per capita to the city OF
insane patients is $3.50 year. The
State will charge the city SIPS per
patient and will make up the differ.
ence through State taxes.
While an appropriation OF a larger
sum than may be necessary for the
maintenance of an Institution fire.
