Radio License Revoked.
The evangelist senatorial candidate
got into trouble with the Federal Radio
Commission, which revoked his radio
license, because he was too free in his
epithets, calling people "rascals, scoun-
drels scalawags, bootleggers, skunks,
dirty whelps and thieves over the air,
and because he sought to promote re-
ligious strife and antagonism." He was
particularly hard on the Catholics and
the Jews. Some say that it was be-
cause of the revoking of his radio
license that Shuler got into the race
at all for the Senate. However, that
may be. he Is in the race and giving
both the Tubbs and McAdoo forces
cold chills He was born in a cabin
in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Vir-
gina, worked on a farm as boy and
put himself through college to become
a preacher In the Southern Methodist
Church.
Up here in the Northern part of
California, the McAdoo leaders are try
ing to scare the wet and Smith Demo-
Gratis into voting for Mr.. McAdoo on
the ground that if they do not. Shuler,
the dry, will surely be elected to the
Senate. They are appealing to wet Re
publicans on the same ground. But
the Tubbs people are playing a similar
game. urging all wet Democrats to vote
for Tallant Tubbs and thereby keep
Shuler out of the Senate.
Shuler comes from the Southern part
Of California. where the drays are dry
many of them personally as well as
politically. In addition to having
large dry vote, the Southern half of
California is demanding Senator. 1t
points out that San Francisco already
has one Senator in Hiram johnson and
for the rest of the present term has
also Senator Shortridge. The south has
two candidates for the Senate in this
race. McAdoo, the Democrat, and
Shuler. who is a member of the Pro-
hibition party, but who sought the Re-
publican and Democratic nominations
as well under the remarkable primary
law they have in this State.
johnson Leans to Tubbs
If reports be true, Senator Hiram
johnson, who has just turned thumbs
down so emphatically on President
Hoover in reply to a telegram sent him
by a group of Republican newspaper
publishers in Southern California, is
inclined to support Tubbs for the Sen
ate. He might even make some speeches
for Tubbs, it Is said, if Tubbs asked
him to. But Tubbs is wondering
whether Johnson, after his blast at
tacking President Hoover, would not
hurt him with the Hoover Republicans
and lose him votes, more votes than he
would gain by Johnson's open support.
It is known that a lot of the John
son followers will vote for Tubbs any
way, and that one of Senator john
sons sons was among the sponsors for
Tubbs' candidacy for the Senate.
The Republican editors, who sent
johnson a pre-emptory telegram de-
manding that he come out in open
support of President Hoover, certainly
stubbed their toes. 1t gave johnson
chance to air his feeling toward
Hoover in a statement that was given
the widest kind of publicity throughout
the State and that was in effect a
call to the Progressive Republicans to
vote against Mr.. Hoover. 1t was a
stupid political blunder on the part of
the editors, for every one already knew
