PROVES TRAITOR TO HIS OWN PARTY GOVERNOR JOHNSON STIRS UP A HORNET'S NEST IN THE PROGRESSIVE RANKS HIS ADVOCACY OF THE HYPHENATED TICKET DENOUNCED BY FORMER SUPPORTERS Gov. Johnson's endorsement of the hyphenated united republican ticket has stirred up a lively row in northern progressive circles. The progressives themselves are asking by what right the governor deserts his own party to take part in the primary campaign of the opposition. W. T. Rutherford, member of the progressive state central committee from Napa county, has been one of the first to come out in the open. He has stated in an authorized interview that if it is a question of the progressives returning to the republican ranks, he prefers to ally himself with the regular republicans. "I believe that the regular republican ticket is the only real representation of the republican party," says Mr. Rutherford, "as its names were selected by a state wide conference attended by over 500 in person while 300 more were represented by proxies. Inasmuch as this convention was composed of the members of the state central committee, I must consider it the only bona-fide gathering of republicans that has placed a ticket before ing the administration serious concern. There are thousands of electors in the northern part of the state who took part in all sincerity in forming the progressive party. They believed that the big corporations were dominating the republican primaries, and they accepted in good faith the progressive slogan of human rights. They have accepted a great deal on faith, but they are balking at the administration program which is now asking them to foreswear their progressive faith and vote for a ticket which is headed by six men who are all high officials in big public service corporations. There are six men on the Earl-Johnson hyphenated ticket who are directors, in all, in forty-eight California corporations. Yet this ticket is being advocated by the administration press in the country districts as the "anti-corporation, anti-machine ticket." WAR'S TOLL IN FOOD SUPPLIES Germany has taken from France since is occupation of the northern section of that country, 1,500,000 head of horned cattle, 14,804,310 sheep and 814,919 pigs. This means that France has lost 20 per cent of its meat animal stock, and is deprived of a meat production of 411,000 tons. The livestock of Belgium also was lost by the entente, this being estimated to amount to about 2,000,000 heads of cattle, 18,000,000 sheep and over 2,000,000 pigs. Germany gained thus the meat production of roundly 39,000,000 animals in the western-theare alone. Though the Russians saved much of their live stock in Poland and the invaded Russian provinces, nearly 40,000,000 meat animals fell into the hands of the Germans and Austro-Hungarians. "I believe that the regular republican ticket is the only real representation of the republican party," says Mr. Rutherford, "as its names were selected by a state wide conference attended by over 500 in person while 300 more were represented by proxies. Inasmuch as this convention was composed of the members of the state central committee, I must consider it the only bona-fide gathering of republicans that has placed a ticket before the voters for the primary election. "Believing that many reforms were necessary in the old party I joined the progressive ranks, but now that the progressive party has outlived its usefulness and the republican party has worked out its own reforms I am very glad to return to the old party and shall do all I can for the regular republican ticket." But the loudest complaints are coming from progressives who have been supporting their party in good faith, who favored a regular delegation from California to the progressive convention in Chicago and who expected that the delegation would be headed by Gov. Johnson himself. They call attention to the fact that it is the first time in the governor's political history that he has preferred to serve in the ranks. When he still claimed to be a republican in 1912 he headed the progressive-republican list of delegates to the Chicago convention; when he helped form the progressive party in Chicago he campaigned for and received the nomination for vice president on that ticket; but, while he registered this year as a progressive, he declined to permit his name to be used as a delegate to the national progressive convention, and he is now sending his pay roll brigade out through the state with a message to all loyal progressives to knife their own ticket and vote in the republican primaries. One result of this has been that scores of letters are coming into the secretary of state's office asking whether a list of progressive delegates has been nominated. All the progressive papers that receive state advertising are following instructions from Sacramento to "play down" the progressive delegates and to convey the impression that the Earl-Johnson united republican list is the regular progressive ticket. In a communication to the secretary of state, C. R. Willis seeks to lay the blame on that official. The livestock found in Serbia is estimated at about 8,000,000 heads of meat animals, so that the central powers have in their favor a balance of about 78,000,000 animals. This means a meat production of roundly 1,910,000 tons per year. This cannot be looked upon as an increase altogether of the central powers' food supply. In the territories from which this live stock comes lives a population of about 25,000,000, whose wants must be met, of course. Nevertheless, the meat production of the territories occupied by the German and Austro-Hungarian troops being some 38,218,000,000 pounds annually, which is 1092 pounds per capita, a large surplus is left for the occupying troops. A daily meat ration of eight ounces for each inhabitant of the district held, would place at the disposal of the Germans and Austro-Hungarians, 20,700,000,000 pounds per year. Even in view of the fact that the meat consumption of the central powers' armies is 456 pounds for each man a year, this quantity would go far towards maintaining the men in the field. Russia probably is best off in this respect, though heavy demands on its meat production have also been made. To feed its army, estimated at 8,000,000 men under arms, took during the first war year no less than 300,000,000 heads of meat animals. France in addition to having lost a considerable share of meat animals, is obliged to feed about 3,000,000 refugees from the occupied departments et who is not a co-owner who has not been for that reason, because railroad commissioner public utilities.

There is unanimity among friends all over there see the position in But if the governor machine that he canerson to eat out of time to call a halt cut his wings? Is the people should owe power in their own evident if they can control the secretary of state's office asking whether a list of progressive delegates has been nominated. All the progressive papers that receive state advertising are following instructions from Sacramento to "play down" the progressive delegates and to convey the impression that the Earl-Johnson united republican list is the regular progressive ticket. In a communication to the secretary of state, C. R. Willis seeks to lay the blame on that official. "I see by the press dispatches," writes Willis, "that you are sending out a special form of ballot for the republican primaries, but you say nothing about the progressive ballot. Is it not true that a list of delegates has been regularly nominated to the national progressive convention in Chicago?" "As a citizen and a taxpayer I protest against this action on the part of the secretary of state. You are supposed to represent all the citizens of California. By your action you are trying to conceal the fact that progressive delegates have been nominated in hopes that there will be few porgressive votes cast in the primary, so that the argument of the light progressive vote in California can be urged in Chicago as a reason why no attempt should be made to conciliate the millions of progressive voters in the country. "We are going to fool you in that. San Mateo county voted for Gov. Johnson in 1912. It was the progressive vote that did it. We outvoted the republicans then and we are going to cast more votes for the progressive candidates to Chicago in this county than will be cast for both republican tickets. We will take care of your case when you run again." This tendency of progressives to support their own delegation is caus- Russia probably is best off in this respect, though heavy demands on its meat production have also been made. To feed its army, estimated at 8,000,000 men under arms, took during the first war year no less than 300,000,000 heads of meat animals. France in addition to having lost a considerable share of meat animals, is obliged to feed about 3,000,000 refugees from the occupied departments and Belgium. Russia has to care similarly for over 6,000,000 refugees. Between the average normal meat consumption of the nations at war, ranging from 110 to 150 pounds per capita, and the consumption of meat by some 25,000,000 men under arms, running from 220 to 260 pounds per man, in the Italian and French armies respectively, and reaching 456 pounds per man in the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian armies, there is a difference of roughly 3:450,000 tons. According to French economists it takes 142,000,000 animals to produce this annually. WHO ARE THE REAL CANDIDATES Loudly and long have the progressives and Johnson at their head proclaimed that they were opposed to the corporations and were going to drive them out of politics. Yet we find a ticket avowedly named to further the political ambitions of Hiram Johnson containing a long list of corporation representatives. At its head is John Britton of the Pacific Gas and Electric company; then we have Earl, who is the attorney of the Great Western Power company; further down we come across a number of other names equally representative of corporations. In fact, there is not a man on the tick- Had Governor John the open and declare publican organization least have the responsibilities.

You never tasted the like of it! And that isn't strange, either. Men who think they can't smoke a pipe or roll a cigarette can smoke and will smoke if they use Prince Albert.

Prince Albert tobacco will tell its own story! R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO., Winston-Salem, N. C. et who is not a corporation man and who has not been forced on the ticket for that reason, because he fears the railroad commission and its power over public utilities. Alden Anderson is the most conspicuous case of this kind. Anderson, it will be recalled, was forced to rush back from Europe some years ago because of the troubles of a bank at Redding in which he was interested, and because of which troubles Johnson threatened to send him to prison. Anderson came back and fully vindicated himself, and everyone is surprised to see him now training with the crowd that were going to make a convict of him. Nothing shows more plainly the enormous power that Johnson has over the corporations than the humiliating spectacle which Alden Anderson presents today. Because of his connection with the Fleishhackers, who are largely interested in the Western Power company, Anderson is obliged to stand before the whole state as a candidate to go to Chicago to nominate the man who tried to disgrace him for life, to the vice-presidency. Could anything illustrate the power and lack of principle of Hiram Johnson better than that? There is universal sorrow over the humiliation of Anderson, and his friends all over the state regret to see the position in which he is placed. But if the governor has such a strong machine that he can force even Anderson to eat out of his hand, is it not time to call a halt? Is it not time to cut his wings? Is it not time that the people should once more take the power in their own hands, because it is evident that if the governor now can control the corporations, it will credited with the fear that he could not win if he came out in the open. But the governor had better announced his own fight. He gets the credit of an attempt to capture the organization without the credit of having the courage to fight in the light, or the confidence that he could win. Republicans might just as well get their politics straightened out. If they wish to vote for Governor Johnson they will support the Earl ticket. If they wish to support the republican party they will vote the republican ticket. REPUBLICANS ALERT With the presidential primaries scheduled for next Tuesday, preparations for unusual eleventh hour campaigning are being made by the republican presidential primary campaign committee. The office forces are working day and night sending out literature, enlisting workers by telephone, and mapping out organization work, while the leaders in charge are holding conference twice daily in order to talk over details. While both Chairman A. L. Bartlett and Secretary John T. McBean are confident that the last 26 delegates on the ballot representing the loyal G. O. P. republicans will be elected south of Tehachepi, by more than 40,000 majority, they are leaving no stone unturned on the road to success. Reports from all over Southern California are coming into the headquarters telling of highly successful organization work, enthusiastic meetings, and volunteers crowding to the committees asking to be allowed to help. of the best known members of the bar in Central California, has just declared for the regular republican ticket. "The progressive party is dead," said Rutherford. "Belleving that many reforms were necessary in the old party I joined the progressive ranks, but now that the progressive party has outlined its usefulness and the republican party has worked out its own reforms I am very glad to return to the old party and shall do all I can for the regular republican ticket. "I am thoroughly convinced that only through the republican party can success and prosperity in this country be attained. We all look to this party for the security and safety of the nation in time of crisis." "I believe that the regular republican ticket is the only real representation of the republican party as its names were selected by a state wide conference attended by over five hundred in person while three hundred more were represented by proxies. Inasmuch as this convention was composed of the members of the state central committee and members of the county central committee, I must consider it the only bona fide gathering of republicans that has placed a ticket before the voters for the primary election." The action of Mr. Rutherford in refusing to heed the siren calls of the so called united ticket is similar to that being taken by thousands of other republicans in California according to advices received by the regular republican campaign committee. The progressives who are returning to the republican party with good motives are for the regular republican Bord- THE GOVERNOR'S INTEREST Governor Johnson's interest in the Earl ticket and his relation to the Earl ticket is a personal one. This is the belief of earnest minded republicans throughout the state and charges to this effect have been repeatedly hurled by the campaign committee for the republican list of delegates. It is the republican claim, and there is considerable to substantiate this claim, that Governor Johnson is merely trying to capture the republican party's organization in this state to meet his own personal ambitions in politics. The papers have repeatedly said time and again that the administration is trying to capture the republican organization. Such statements, too have come from all parts of the state. Governor Johnson ruled Earl's action. Had Governor Johnson come out in the open and declared war on the republican organization he would at least have the respect of the republicans. The way the political situation stands now the governor is charged with fighting through Earl as the best way to capture the party. He is confident that the last 26 delegates on the ballot representing the loyal G. O. P. republicans will be elected south of Tehachepli, by more than 40,000 majority, they are leaving no stone unturned on the road to success. Reports from all over Southern California are coming into the headquarters telling of highly successful organization work, enthusiastic meetings, and volunteers crowding to the committees asking to be allowed to help. The campaign in Southern California will be wound up with a monster rally at Trinity auditorium on Saturday night, April 29, which will out distance any previous political gathering erer held in California. Because of discrimination on the part of Johnson officials, the republicans get the worst of it on the ballot by being at the bottom of the column, and by having no space between their delegates and those of the so-called united. The committee is issuing a special warning to start with Walter Bordwell and stop with Chas. C. Chapman. The other 24 republican delegates are: Mrs. Olive C. Cole, Mrs. Abbie E. Krebs, J. O. Hayes, Amiel Hochheimer, Presley I. Lancaster, Luke McDonald, Chas. E. Clinch, Ephriam Light, Richard R. Veale, Albert E. Castle, Francis V. Keesling, Johannes C.
