BLOW TO JOHNSON
By DAVID LAWRENCE


Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
Washington, ID. c., April 1.-THE
break in the Coolidge campaign for
the Republican presidential nomination
has come. Nothing but a political
earthquake can now prevent the nomi-
nation of the President at Cleveland
in June.
Mr.. Coolidge has had from the start
the support of the regular Republic
can organization which is all powerful
in the Eastern states. 1t was not
known what would be his strength in
the presidential primaries. The vic
tories in Nebraska and Illinois
sta .es in which weaknesses would be
expected to develop if at all-has
Knocked the wind out of the sails
of the Hiram johnson campaign and
left the field to Mr.. Coolidge.
Although presidential primary votes
are not considered binding a.. d nd
tipnal convention, They are neverthe-
less an index of popular telling. Mr..
Coolidge's strength in the primaries is
surprise even to his own lrieilds.
10 carry Michigan, Illinois, Nebraska
and North Dakota, is feat which n
regular Republican has not achieved
in a good many years. h-puu,Tan
support of the President in the con-
servative areas of New England and
The East has been unchallcnged, but
he Western seat Of radicalism has
bot been so easy to conquer.
May Win on First Vote.
Mr.. Coolidge. according to present
lx,sls h. e
he delegates at the Republican ma
ional convention on the first or sec.
md ballots. 1t may be that for the
'ake Of prestige and campaign effec-
iveness later on almost the entire Re-
publican convention will vote for Coo
idge giving him the psychological
'enefit of virtually unanimous sup
bort.
All will not be smooth sailing. how
ver, for Senator LaFol!ette is sched-
iled to make fight for a radical plat
orm failing in which the Wisconsin
delegates and others possibly from
Western states will announce their de-
ision to support third ticket.
Efforts will be made by the Coolidge
eaders to liberalize the Republican
/ laform not so much TO placate the La
toilette group but to satisfy the SEN
iment of the people of Western states.
But it is not believed that any platz
Iorm adopted by a regular Republican
5bnvention will suit the LaPollette rad
eals.
Question Over Foreign Policy.
One Of the most difficuH planks TO

PLAN TO AID SETTLERS
Interior Department Committee Makes
Report to Coolidge.

Washington, ID. c.. April 11.-Leg-
islation looking to the relief of settlers
ON government reclamation projects is
expected to result from the report of
the Interior Departments special ad.
visory committee of experts, which has
been disbanded after presenting its
work on a six-month study of the
problem TO Secretary Work. The re.
port is IN the hands of President
Coolidge teday for his consideration
with view to making recommends.
tons to Congress.
The committee suggested among
numerous proposals, the charging off
of $27 .391 .146 of the approximately
S150,O00,000 expended on reclamation
projects as total loss, and basii.g the
payments of settlers on actual crop
production of their land rather than
on fixed percentage of construction
cost, as under the present system.
