THE NEVADA <i Pe CITY NUGGET MONDAY. JULY. 24, 1933 » Nevada City Nugget A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at ‘Nevada City. H. M. LEETE and C. B. ANDERS@N Publishers Published semi-weekly, Monday and Friday, at Nevada City, California, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBORTIPTION RATES One year, — 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 canes just the same. get the ——__—_—_0—___ CLOAK ROOM THIEF TAKES SOLON’S WATCH SACRAMENTO, July 24—-(UP) ail meWling i support ‘he Democratic WOIinae: Contrariwise, a t ls members of the Senate will ' : i s work with one eye On the cloak if Johnson loses at the primary, most of his supporters will Pcie no doubt align themselves with the Democrats in the Novem!

BUY CANES FOR BLIND: visiting governors are here for their 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 Lieutenant Governor Frank am’s job are in the prominent democratic candidates is I, C. ‘Todd’ Clowdsley, democratic 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 for MerriSenatorial opposition killed chances of Roland Tognazzini, for the inSurance commissioner $6,000. job.
