Johnson Hurls Broadside As Re publican Opponents In His
 Chicago Address

CHICAGO. Jan. 1S.-tBy Associ- ated Press) Tn two addresses here tonight, Senator Hiram Johnson, re- publican candidate for the presidency. reiterated his stand for direct pri- mary, criticized the republican national committee for increasing southern dele gation to the republican national con- vention. termed the Mellon tax reduc- tion plan an administration smoke screen, asserted that taxes can be re- duced and bonus paid the soldiers at the same time and reaffirmed his op- position to the League of Nations and the administration foreign policy.
 He spoke first at a mass meeting at the Broadway armory on the north west side. then hurried to second meeting in a high school building in the negro district.
 In his broadside launched at the for eign policy of the present administra- ton he condemned the United States attitude toward the present Mexican situation as immoral if not illegal"
 In favoring the direct primary, Sem ator Johnson said he desired only that the republicans of the country shall nominate their candidate for the presi- dency. Il believe in direct primaries and direct legislation" he said. 'Ob- .xiously, our opponents do not so be- lieve.'
 He made a bitter attack on the ac- tiOn of the republican national com mittee in increasing the convention delegates of southern states a few days ago after the national convention of 1920 had ordered just and equitable basis of representation. Nine south ern states, he added, which boiled 4S9,- 900 votes for President Harding have 134 delegates, two and a half times as many as Ohio, which boiled two and a half times as many republican votes as the southern states. Indiana, he de- clared, boiled more votes than the southern states and has but B dele gates.
 Southern Delegates.
 The delegates in the southern states, he asserted. "are selected by commands issued in the city of Washington to a very few federal office holders in the different states"
 The recent action of the republican national committee was termed "a re- version to the eabhorrent conditions from which we thought we had emerged"
 It is. in the last analysis. test of popular government, he said
 Turning to the tax question, he de- clared that ."the philosophy of some powerful politicians today is that the "tinkle of the guinea heals the hurt that honor feels, and that the national conscience may be dulled,, even dis missed, by the hope of money profit" He asserted there is no political issue in the reduction of taxes as everybody would reduce government expenditures as much as possible.
 Speaking of the Mellon plan, Senator Johnson said
 "The concern of this tax scheme is not for the man of small income who can least bear the burden, but the concern is for those of large incomes who can best bear that burden.
