BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
LEASED Wire to The Age. Herald)

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The
Coolidge primary landslide has reached
the point where his political advisers
are confident of taking California away
from Hiram johnson. Persons close TO
the President say their adyices from
California indicate that the admins
tration has an excellent chance in, the
primaries, May 9, unless there is an
unexpected bareback from the
Japanese exclusion proposition, which
Is not in favor at the White House.
johnson has no intention OF. making
a trip to California, according to his
friends. The fight will be left in. the
hands of his own organization there.
; Coolidge managers base their hopes
on reports-fr0m their local representa-
tives on the coast, and what they term
the logic of the situation. Their main
asset is the futility of the johnson
candidacy. The chief opposition comes
from desire on the part of California
voters to. give their senator a compile
mentary vote.
johnson Shifts Ground
4 johnson has shifted his ground since
his three successive defeats in Mich
igan, Illinois and Nebraska last week
and is now talking chiefly about the
necessity of Kidding the republican par
ty of boss control. His statement here
last week, that he is fighting to make
the party responsive to the will of the
people, was regarded as indicating

President Believes He Has Excellent Chance In
California Primaries

transition from a campaign for nomina-
ton to that of cause.
( Johnson's hopes for this year are
definitely blasted. He is now looking
ahead four years. He is conducting a
discouraging fight, now, but he is gam
bling on swing of the pendulum with
in the next four years.
The republican party organization is
conservative at present and Johnson's
message is unwelcome, but the pressure
from the left is growing stronger and
hope springs eternal in Johnson's
breast. Y, ~
Four years is a long time, politically
speaking, and no one can predict what
viii happen in that time. The present
judgment Of regular republicans is that
johnson is done-that his failure to
make a showing this year dooms him in
all future presidential contests. John
son, OF course, does not accept this
judgment. He is counting on a con-
tinued growth of insurgency so that by
four years hence. the party will be COM
PEELED to shift from conservatism to
.progressivism. He has tried to keep
within the party reservation, so that
ne will be in positnon midway between
the conservatives and the insurgents
should there be some effort to unite
these forces in subsequent campaign.
This is the explanation that is offer
ed for Johnson's persistence in keeping
up fight which seems HOPELESS, CON
sidered from its immediate aspect. 1t
is only a gamble at best-Lbut the stakes
are big and the ante is small.

MARKET Is HURT /
BY INTENTIONS
REPORT--SMITH
South Carolina Senator
Defends Law Abolishing
Cotton Prediction ~


WASHINGTON, April 19.-In. an.
swer to criticism of the law requiring
the department of agriculture to aban-.
don "the intention to plant cotton
report, Senator Smith, democrat, South
Carolina, today issued the following
statement:
I'VE had "a taste of intention to
plant last year. The object of issuing
this Information, or prediction of their
colleagues in reference to the acreage
of a given crop and if such report in
Dictated excessive acreage they would
be in position to curtail acreage.
Market Depressed $50
Now, what is the practical condi-
ton? This preliminary statement is
made, let's say, in April and it indi-
Gates an excessive acreage, The mar
-ket is Immediately affected, adversely,
of course. No subsequent statement,
under the law, is allowed until the
first Of July, therefore, the adverse
Is not counteracted by any official and
dependable data until the first of July
at which time the actual number of
acres under cultivation is given to
the public. The real facts as to acre
age We're not obtained last year, ac-
cording to my recollection, until some
time in the late fall.
Therefore, in any event, there is
approximately three months during
which time the market is disastrously
affected if the prediction is for an ex-
cessive acreage. If, on the other hand,
the prediction is for a moderate acre
age, the trade will assume, as it has
generally done, that farmers will be
encouraged by such prediction to in
crease their acreage and the likelihood
is that the market win again be de-
pressed. II am unalterab1y opposed to
the government making estima ties and
predictions. 1t is their function to
give facts. Facts are the things upon
which everything depends. +.
The reason that the law prohibits
the publication of the acreage report
previous to the first of July, is that
by experience, we learned that a vast
amount of cotton land was abandoned
even after being planted and abandoned
as late as the middle and latter part
of June. The acreage that was cul-
tivated the first of July was really the
acreage from which the crop was to
be gathered. 80
I'VE all know that each farmer de-
termines his acreage according to his
own deductions and conditions and will
not, to an appreciate extent, be gov
erned by any prediction as to .inten-
ton to plant Therefore, the only
thing that will be really affected is
the market, and that, of course, most
probably to the detriment of those who
have cotton on hand. In view of these
facts, cannot understand why GER
tain of our friends insist that this is
such wise, economic procedure"
