Cabitol Leaders tn Revolt
Ninth of 10 Article, on the Ne~ Deals Rebellion

6uG Cue happy oAyS WHICH tIlc ucW
Roosevelt was supposed to herald did
not last long for the Senator. He held
out against his own suspicious to the
last, for to lose faith again meant
almost to lose faith in himself, but
his stern, stubborn conscience finally
cried out. In recent years he has
voted against most major Rooseveltian
proposals, though still reluctant to face
his own establishment by lifting his
voice with old-time bravado.
He arose in horror against the re-
vived World Court. believing that he
had laid that international specter in
its grave long ago. OF French ancestry,
he denounced the neutrality act with
the argument that it made us the ally
Of Great Britain in the Atlantic and
Japan in the Pacific. inasmuch as
only those nations could buy and run
safely.
The administration tolerance Of
sitdown strikes grieved him. Such
proposals as Supreme Court re-
form and Government reorganization
wrenched from his lips the warning
that 1.-The country is drifting down the
river to q dictatorship"
His opposition to the Hugo Black
nomination epitomizes the man-his
stalwart honesty and his homely
prejudices. Tossing aside any thought
Of senatorial courtesy, he challenged
the nominees eligibility and fitness.
But an earlier exchange suggests that
the blunt apostle OF all kinds Of 1iber-
ties Just did not like the man from
Alabama.
Once, when Mr.. Black had gained
the floor while the chamber was in q
yielding" mood, he broke into a long
speech instead Of an interrogation. To
Mr.. Johnson's objection the future
jurist replied in tones meant to be
devastating that he had simply arisen
to ask question"
YES" barked the Californian amidst
outlaws. but the question has de-
generated into speech!"
Fashioned Family Man.
For all his truculent participation
in historic and unhappy events, the
Senator is an old-fashioned family
man and home lover. He rarely stirs
abroad from the fine old house which
he and Mrs johnson have remodeled
near the Capitol, far from Washing
tons madding crowd. He prefers an
evening with his cards. his dominoes
and his detective stories-murder pre-
ferred-to White House dinners and
receptions. Baseball he dotes on, and
he rarely misses game when the Sen
ate isn't sitting. He was once ad-
vanced for Kenesaw Lands job as
the national games cleanup hitter.
His real weakness are the movies.
As Governor. when he was bounding
corruptionists and studding statute
books with reform laws, he discovered
that he could find relaxation in q
darkened motion picture house. But
the screen came to exercise fascina-
ton. and now he is q Hollywood fan
He subscribes to all the film maya
zines and knows the language and
lingerie of the stars. Often, during
arduous trips, he sneaks into q movie
in a strange town, sometimes patron
izing the products Of the California
industry several times in an evening.
The old Senator, in his Rooseveltian
establishment, probably finds the sill
yer screen-Hollywood's never-never
land-more alluring than the White
House or the United States Senate.

40 THE end Of his political days
that grim but gallant: warrior

~O ldE emu Oh his pOlIACdA OdyS
that grim but gallant warrior
for idealism and independence
i Hiram W. Johnson-seems
destined to establishment. Twice
within a generation this Peter Pan Of
American politics has been let down by
a President bearing the illustrious
name of Roosevelt. So the Senator
from California has become an
eleventh-hour rebel from necessity
rather than choice. He didn't want to
do it.
The tragedy Of Hiram johnson is
national rather than personal. No
mans career measures SO emotionally
or mathematically the plight Of an
old-fashioned Progressive in the
United States-the predicament Of an
elderly statesman who strives to re-
dress old wrongs without stirring new
and more insoluble problems. For
three decades he has sought an adj
ministration altar whereupon to lay
his great heart and high hopes-but
in vain. There, in the light Of his
heroic dreams, lies cause for despair
and skepticism.
A political Lochinvar from the West,
CALIFORNIA; greatest Governor rode
alongside his first Rooseveltian hero
Teddy-in the 1912 uprising, only to
open White House doors to the college
professor he despised. In 1916 he

spark, but Teddy. old and i'll and deaf
to another Armageddon's bugles from
listening to more martial music over
seas, held back That sad chapter
was completed when, four years later.
Mr.. Johnson's deliberate or accidental
snub of Charles Evans Hughes re-
elected the Senator's mortal enemy.
But it was not until 1920 that, in
bitter Renaissance, came immolation.
Turns Harding Down.
Harry Daugherty's "smoke-filled
room" had named Warren G. Harding
for President, affronting the Progress
sives headed by johnson. Lowden and
Wood, and the G. o. P. sorely needed
a liberal to balance the ticket. They
sent numerous emissaries to entice the
sleeping Senator, and early one swell
tering dawn he was awakened by a
tap-tap at his door. There entered
a timid man with a blue coat draped
over his shaking arm, and q wilted
collar as proof that the visitor suffered
from more facilitating elements than
Chicago's midsummer heat. The mes
senger from the bosses was the next
President of the United States
Warren Gamaliel Harding.
Hiram" began the intruder hest
tatingly, the boys have just agreed
to give me run for my money tomor-
row. I'm going to be nominated, and
I wan you to be my vice presidential
candidate"
The Senator rolled over in the bed,
pulled the sheets over his leonine
head and turned his eyes toward the
Powered wall paper. Il don't care to
consider it," he muttered.
Go sing your siren songs to some
body else!" he growled at former Post
master General Walter F. Brown, q
Harding manager, when the latter
suggested with prophetic words that
"only a thin thread of life stands
between the Vice President and the
President"
How the course of history might
have been changed had the Senator
not been so stiff-necked! The G. o.
P. might have become the party Of
liberals like johnson, Norris and La
