Johnsons loss of strength in Cali
fornia after fourteen years of unin-
terrupted victories was general
throughout the state, although more
pronounced in the southern counties.
His failure to carry San E'rancisce,
10000 is as significant of his political
retrogression as his defeat by Presi-
dent Coolidge in Los Angeles County
by approximately $4,000. In his cam
paign for reelection two years ago
the senator defeated Charles c. Moore
for the Republican nomination by
$4,000. He defeated Herbert Hoover
1920 by more than $4,000. losing
Los Angeles County by less than 700
votes and carrying San Francisco
City and County by more than $4,000.
Made Appeal Personal.
During the last ten days of the
presidential campaign just closed the
Johnson workers made no appeal on
the basis of a possible presidential
nomination and, armed with a per-
sonal appeal wired by Mr.. Johnson,
urged voters TO support him rs an ex-
preston of confidence in his leader
ship in this state.
A curious aftermath of the McAdoo
victory in California comes in the
form of report that McAdoo's ma
tional managers have counted noses
in the Democratic national conven-
tion and failed to discover a two
thirds majority, under any. circum-
stances now regarded as likely to
exist in New York on or after June
20. and this is made further interest
ing by an inference that McAdoo, fail
ing himself to get the nomination,
may throw his strength to John w.

run into the fact that the majority of
the Keystone state delegation elected
to the New York convention is in
clined to be 'liberaP' and the hunt for
votes for the former Secretary of the

The McAdoo peoplesgot their second
wind last month and have been
scheming to get the balance Of power
over the Guffey and BonniwelI fac
tions in the state committee in the
hope of ultimately benefiting the
McAdoo column. But not with
lowers of the two contending ele-
ments over the national committee
manship to be filled blythe state COM
mittee, the McAdoo people have been
unable to make many delegate con-
verts.
The situation has made the reor-
ganization of the state committee
here on May 20 one of unusual inter-
est, and on what happens will de-
pend to considerable extent how
the delegation lines up at New York.
In event National Committeeman Jo-

LOS ANGELES, Calf, May 1o.--A
hasty check of sentiment among Re
publican leaders following the defeat
of Senator Hiram johnson by Presi-
dent Coolidge in last Tuesdays presf-
dential primary indicates that Cali
fornia will present a fairly solid Re-
publican front to the Democratic on
slaught in November.
The Coolidge majority in California
will be approximately $4,000 when all
the votes are counted. 1t is stating
the case mildly to say that the John
son element is angry, resentful and
depressed, but the moderation with
which the victorious Coolidge forces
are celebrating their triumph, to-
sether with the strong efforts that
will be made by leaders on both sides
to heal the breach undoubtedly will
leave only a minimum number of irrec-
onclables to be reckoned with.
See Breach Healed.
However, should the Johnson camp
decide to sulk or to elect hostile
state committee the Coolidge man
ayers are prepared to follow Il course
adopted two years ago by Gov. Rich
ardson in d similar situation and con-
duct a campaign independent of the
Johnson dominated party machinery.
There is little liklfhood that such
procedure will be necessary. Many

position common to the rank and file

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., May 1o.-The
action of United States Senator Peter
Norbeck of South Dakota in voting
with the Democratic senators and
aiding in carrying the Democratic
substitute for the Mellon tax plan
is not approved by many thousands
of Republican voters in South Da-
kota, who in past campaigns have
supported Senator Norbeck.
The action of Senator Nor ok is
expected to have a bearing on the
political campaign in South Dakota
next fall, especially as it affects the
election of a United States senator.
Gov. McMaster is a. close political as
sociate of Senator Norbeck, the two
men and their organizations having
oom bined forces in carrying South
Dakota for Senator Hiram Johnson.
During the primary campaign Gov.
McMaster attacked the policies of the
national Republican party, so 1t is
believed that if elected he would
align himself with the Republican in-
surgent senators, and with this sort
of lineup it is expected he will
lose the votes OF many thousands of
South Dakota Republicans.
The action of Senator Norbeck also
may foreShadow the "bolting' by
himself and other members Of the
South Dakota delegation of the Re-
publican national convention.

Norbeck in lining up with the
