WHAT THE PRESS THINKS OF HIRAM JOHNSON
_ By United Press
Another “battle of the centry” seems in prospect when
U. S. Senator Hiram Johnson and “regular” Republican meet
in the political arena next year.
Already California editors have started campaigns in
support of, and opposition to, the senior senator from this
state.
“Hiram W. Johnson continues. to be lucky in his enemies,” said the San Francisco News. ‘‘Last fall they set the
stage for his dramatic declaration for Roosevelt when they
challenged him to say where he ‘stood as between Roosevelt
and Hoover. And now they are giving battle on just the
ground where our senior senaotr is strongest. For instance:
Mark Requa, Mr. Hoover's No. 1 California friend and lientenant, made a speech in Bakersfield attacking Senator Johnson and the direct primary system with equal enthusiasm. Its;
immediate result was a resounding counter-blast from Hiram’s
friends and admirers.”
Apropros the attack on the primary law, the Sacramento
Union remarks:
“We want the direct primary law liberalized, not destroyed. Assembly Bill 2083 (which would return the old convention system of nomination) must be defeated at all costs. The
fight to make it law is backed by men who would destroy democracy to defeat Hiram Johnson. They can’t control him;
therefore they are determined to destroy him.”
“Just from the standpoint of practical politics,” comments the Ventura Star, ‘‘could anything be more stupid than
this attempt to rally the people against Johnson because he
had the foresight and the independence to support for president a man who enjoys today the deepest and widest measure
of popular approval won by any president in our times? California is proud that Hiram Johnson has played a major part
in winning this opportunity for Roosevelt and in launching
the new deal. A state that long ago repudiated narrow partisanship will honor Johnson for putting his own convictions
and the interests of his country above loyalty to a party label.”
Taking the opposite view, The Humboldt Standard declares: “No one will deny to Senator Johnson the right to
follow his own convictions; support whom he pleases for president down to dog catcher. But all this should be done outside
and not within the Republican party. Johnson is either a Republican in principle and practice or he is not. If he is not, he
should have the decency to leave the party, or the party should
have the guts to throw him out.”
The San Rafael Independent takes issue with the claim
that Johnson is a progressive, saying: “‘There would be some
basis to the claim had Hiram supported Roosevelt through
sincere belief that he was the better man and if he had contributed to the subsequent success of his candidate's administration. Hiram, however, supported Roosevelt, not because he
was overly enthusiastic about the man’s qualifications but because he hated Hoover. He has done nothing to further the
success of Roosevelt's administration, apparenty being content he had assisted in removing his enemy from the White
House. He is quite willing, however, to bask in the reflected
glory of Roosevelt's popularity.
“If Johnson wins the Republican nomination,” said the
Napa Daily Register, “there are thousands of Republicans (including the editor of the Register who never voted for a Democratic U. S. Senator in all of his life) who will be anxious
BIG REVIVAL IN
HORSE RACING
~ IS FORECAST
By MELVIN LORD
SACRAMENTO, July 24—(UP)—.
California’s dictum that pari-mutuel
beting on horse races has put into
movement a vast machinery looking
toward the rejuvenation of racing
in California.
Encouraged by the huge vote in
favor of legalized betting, horse
breeders are anticipating a successful series of racing meets. _
The official vote, as announced
by Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan, was 805,209 in favor of the
horse tacing “amendment and 478,580 against. In Nevada county the
vote was yes; 1,954; no, 906.
While new tracks are being plan'ned throughout the state,-particularity adjacent to large cities, the most
recent development was the announcement of the board of state
fair directors that this year’s exposition in September would be féatured by an extraordinary track program including both running and
harness races.
The puri-mutuelbetting machines
are to be installed beneath the huge
fair grounds grandstand, it was announced. ‘
While: ambitious plans for racing
programs «continue to go ahead under the new law, the appointment
of ‘a racing commission was yet to
be announced. The delay was caused
partly because of a mixup in bills,
the governor having signed one
measure that called for a commission
of five members, and another providing. for three members subject to
confirmation by an unfriendly senate.
tion was seen in the introduction of
a bill by Assemblyman Walter: Sullivan, Compton, legalizing pari-mu{tel betting on dog races. It is estimated such a plan would bring
millions of dollars into state coffers
in addition to the revenue, from the
horse race betting.
STATE TREASURER MAY
SACRAMENTO, July 24—(uUP)—
State Treasurer Charles G. Johnson
is in the cane business—and it’s all
a mistake.
It all started when Johnson sponsored a resolution in the legislature .
declaring white canes with red tips
the official canes to be carried by
blind persons, and calling upon citizens of California to extend every
courtesy to persons carrying such
canes.
In: some way the word got out
that Johnson would give 1,000 of the
canes free. Said Johnson:
“What I. said was, I would like
to give a thousand canes.”
He's "going to try and

ROLPH LOSES IN
SOLON VETO WAR
By THOMAS B. MALARKEY
SACRAMENTO, July 24—(UP)—
How much did the legislature’s amazing and unprecedented revolt
against the administration damage
Governor Rolph’s chances for reelection? That’s the question many political satellites. are pondering these
days.
Ce If the opinion of legislative leaders count, the veto overriding rampage just about added the final killing touches to the governor’s chancés. On the other hand, others believe the rough handling received at
the hands of the legislature might
awake public syspathy for the governor’s' plight.
In any event, political history was
made during ‘the hectic frist days of
the mid-summer session. Prior to the
Rolph administration, no governor's
objection’té any bill had been repudiated for over 40 years. But the
legislature marched back to the capitol July 17 and batted down vetoes
right and left. Even the San Francisco delegation—’ generally pro‘Rolph—voted to override a number
of gubernatorial vetoes.
The governor did, however, score
two major victories. His veto of the
state employes. salary reduction
measure was sustained; also the veto
of the oleo-margarine tax bill. In
fact, supporters of the latter declined to bring up the issue. They didn’t
want the administration to enjoy the
public satisfaction of beating them.
What is there so attractive about
the $4,000 job of lieutenant governor? Its lack of work and respon‘sibility? Because its a political
stepping stone?
Anyway, many candidates

floor leader and probably the most
popular’ man in the legislature.
Clowdsley was unanimously endorsed
at a democratic caucus. Northern
Bourbons came back with an offer
to support any southern California
democratic gubernatorial candidate.
Speaker of the House Walter Little is seriously considering announcing his candidacy. If, for some reason, he doesn’t, C. Ray Robinson,
republican floor leader, may cast his
hat into the ring. Robinson has worked his way up to the top in two sessions.He’s smart, alert, assured and
