WASHINGTON, May T-Uram
johnson 5 defeat by President Cool
idgc in the California presidential
primaries is the Scverest blow to
Jolmsou's prestige since his career
broadeued beyond the confines of
his own state Long ago it was ap-
parent that Johnson was out of the
fight for the Republican prcsiden-
tia nomination.
But he stayed in, refusing to
take the normal step of withdrawal
that would have robbed yesterday s
defeat Of much OF its Significance.
Now Johnson is not only badly beat
en- candidate for the presidency, but
he has lost the main prop and pillar
of his position the support cf his
home state. 1t has been automatic
for years that Johnson had only to
he 4 candidate in California to win.
His enemies, powerful though they
were, lave been unable to override
the tremendous popular strength
Johnson possessed.
johnson was not ready to make
any statement regarding the Cali
fornia result nor to say whether he
would withdraw from the prcsideu-
tial contest. The fact is that he is

$4,000 Signed
Up For Funds
OF Delegates

With more than $4,000 in notes
Siaucd for, the committee appointed
by valley property owners at the
mass meeting held last week to de-
wise means of guaranteeing the eX-
penses Of Imperial Irrigation dis
trict delegates at Washington, is
nearing the conletion of its work.
The actual expenses of the dele
gates is estimated to total less than
$4,000, but the committee has been
giving everyone Il chance to assist
IN the guarantee SO that if there
should be any restraint placed ON the
board Of directors Of the Irrigation
District to keep them from paying
tie expenses Of the delegates, the
Iarment made by individuals would
be proportionately less.
The notes. which have been made
out for $50 each, are to be placed
in escrow, according to present
plans, and in the event they are call
ed in for payment by the banks,
fhev viii become due 90 days from
that date.

ceipt Of 106 signatures in and
around Brawlev; 100 at Holtville
30 around Imperial. Residents

Tie banks in the valley have, as
far as they have been called on,
agreed accept the notes as guar
antec OF TIC payment of the ex-
penses Of the delegates.

JOHNSON'S DEFEAT In HOME
STATE SEVEREST BLOW OF
HIS POLITICAL CAREER

so far out Of it that the act of
withdrawing now seems ridiculous.
Indiana, which showed him under
by five or six to one, and Califor-
mia, which turned on her favoritc
son. withdrew him more effectively
than any statement of his. Johnson
probably will issue some statement
later in the day, he said over the
telephone.
Tho question now is what he will
do to rccoup his broken political
fortunes at home. There have been
reports recently that Johnson
would shortly quit the national pc,
litical arena and go back to Cali
fornia to "start over in fight
for rehabilitation of the once prom
ising career which has gone to
sq.a2h since he came to Washington.
But he can scarcely do that at this
point. He was elected to serve in
the senate until 1929. 1t would en-
barrass him with his constituents
were he to attempt to give up that
post to go back to California to
seek some other proof of the state
support
Neither is there any encourage
meut for him in nm independent
race for the presidency. The liber-
ais regard him rs conservative.
