One Little Yea Among the

During the Republican National
convention of 1920 the leaders behind
the scenes, fearing Senator Hiram
Johnson might kick over the traces
in the event of the nomination of a
Presidential candidate dispIeasing to
him, repeatedly made overtures to
the Californian to take the second
place on the ticket. Invariably John
son declined the proposition. Toward
the last he showed signs of temper.
At this critical period the stage
managers invoked the offices of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., as an inter-
mediary. They counted on the friend
ship which had existed between
Johnson and young RooseveIt's s.
father. Johnson was as briskly en-
phatic in stating his position to
young Colonel Roosevelt. as he had
been in his language to earlier ennis
saries.
Nevertheless, right up to the elev-
enth hour the bosses trusted chat
Johnson might be induced to change
bis mind. Three of us, all newspaper
correspondents, were in Johnson's
room at the Blackstone hotel in Chi
cago on the night befor- the ticket
was named, when Johnson's secretary
came to say that Colonel Roosevelt
was on the telephone, desiring to
speak with him. Johnson took down
the receiver, and we heard him say
this, with pauses between words:
No mono no. yes -no-NOH'
When Senator johnson had hung
up the receiver and returned to his
seat, one of those present said.
Senator, I'm curious to know what
the question from Colonel Roosevelt
was which caused you to reply in the
affirmative when all your other an
swers were such positive noes"
Johnson's eyes twinkled.
"That," he said, was when the
young man asked me if / could hear
distinctly what he was saying"
