JOHNSON WON'T DO The effrontery of Hiram Johnson in asking republicans to support him for the United States senatorship has never been equalled in California's political history. Six years ago the republicans elected him governor of the state. Two years later, through his machinations the party that honored him was disfranchised and the state's electoral vote cast for an enemy of the party. Johnson was the candidate for vice president on a ticket which was nominated for the sole purpose of destroying the republican party. He has been the bitter enemy of the party since then, and has taken advantage of every trick an unscrupulous politician could devise to defeat it. Johnson has repeatedly declared that he is not a republican, and in his voting precinct he is registered as a progressive. He was a delegate to the progressive convention at Chicago in June and was a member of the conference committee from his convention which met a similar committee from the republican convention for the purpose of uniting upon a candidate for president and pledging both parties to the support of that candidate. The conference resulted in the unanimous endorsement of Charles E. Hughes, but Johnson returned to the progress. WHY DOES BISHOP SUPPORT JOHNSON? Clyde Bishop, who was once a democrat, then a republican, and is now supporting a progressive for United States senator from California, pledged his support to Hiram Johnson at the progressive meeting at Santa Ana, and declared himself to be ready to do whatever lay in his power to elect the governor to this high office. Bishop knows that Johnson has done more to destroy the republican party in the state of California than any man who ever lived within the confines of the commonwealth. He knows that Johnson is no more entitled to the support of republicans for United States Senator than any other political acrobat who has been on all sides of the political fence and whose hands are, moreover, red with the blood of the party which he has sought to destroy. Does he not know that? He knows that Johnson seconded the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt at the progressive convention at Chicago, and that he went to Oyster Bay urging Roosevelt to come out as a third party candidate, with no other motive in the world but to defeat Charles E. Hughes for the presidency of the United States. Does he not know that? He knows that Johnson urged the defeat of the republican delegation to the national republican convention from California, and that he urged the election of his hand-picked united republican plato delegates to that convention. Does he not know that? He knows that Johnson bolted the national republican convention four years ago, and came out as a third party candidate, knowing that the only result of such action on his part would be the defeat of the republican candidate for president. Does he not know that? ing precinct he is registered as a progressive. He was a delegate to the progressive convention at Chicago in June and was a member of the conference committee from his convention which met a similar committee from the republican convention for the purpose of uniting upon a candidate for president and pledging both parties to the support of that candidate. The conference resulted in the unanimous endorsement of Charles E. Hughes, but Johnson returned to the progressive hall and ignoring the action of the committee, assisted in stampeding the convention to Theodore Roosevelt, he himself seconding the nomination. Roosevelt held the nomination in abeyance and Johnson went to New York after the convention adjourned for the purpose of attempting to pursue him to accept and thus insure the defeat of the republican candidate. The governor returned to California and launched himself into the campaign for the United States Senatorship. He is seeking the nomination on the republican ticket because he knows the republican party will elect the man who succeeds John D. Works. He has announced himself as a supported of Hughes, the man whom he did his utmost to defeat by assisting in the nomination of a third candidate. "I am supporting Hughes," he says, "because he is a republican, and so am I." Johnson can pull more wires than any politician who ever lived in California. He is the only man who ever succeeded in uniting the liquor and the prohibition vote. In the north he is known to be a wet, but in the south he posed openly as a dry and the prohibition vote was cast almost solidly for him. Although posing as a republican Johnson is the bitterest enemy the republicans have in California. He would utterly destroy the party without hesitation if by doing so he could win a coveted office. He would not represent the party at Washington should he be elected. No consciencious republican can cast a vote for him. Johnson will not do. Johnson urged the defeat of the republican delegates to the Chicago convention. He was registered as a progressive, and he urged the election of a hand-picked united republican delegation, who were selected by a conference of 40 of his political henchmen in San Francisco. The republican delegates were nominated by a republican A GOLD BRICK In his political deal with Congressman Stephens of Los Angeles, Governor Johnson appears to have handed the congressman a spurious gold brick.

He was registered as a progressive, and he urged the election of a hand-picked united republican delegation, who were selected by a conference of 40 of his political henchmen in San Francisco. The republican delegates were nominated by a republican state convention composed of more than 500 republican delegates from all portions of the state. He urged their defeat voted against them, but they were overwhelmingly elected. The united republicans were swept into the sea, and Hiram Johnson with them. Following this he went to Chicago where he urged the nomination of a third party candidate for president Charles E. Hughes. He seconded the nomination of Roosevelt in the progressive convention, and went to Oyster Bay to urge the Colonel to become a third party candidate. Now he has the supreme effrontery to ask the republicans of California to support him for U. S. Senator. He will be the worst beaten man who ever ran for office in this state. Willis H. Booth will sweep the state at the primary election August 29. By one of the many political absurdities of the primary election law, Johnson is also a candidate for the progressive nomination for U. S. Senator. He has no opposition in his own party for the nomination and he will come back again on November 6, for another trouncing. We believe California will go republican by more than 200,000 majority. This is a republican year, and republicans of California will support Willis H. Booth for senator, and Hiram Johnson will go down to defeat. This political acrobat will not do. A GOLD BRICK In his political deal with Congressman Stephens of Los Angeles, Governor Johnson appears to have handed the congressman a spurious gold brick. According to the terms of the agreement, it is reported, the governor was to appoint Stephens lieutenant governor in return for his support in the senatorial fight. Johnson was then to retire from the governorship and Stephens was to step into the office and draw down all the emoluments appertaining thereto. The governor receives $10,000 per year and there are perquisites which bring his total receipts close to $40,000 per Just Arrived--- WE have the power of TUNA in 10c, 15c Try some noon-day lunch FINE. Edmiston's Gr WE DELIVE SUPPORT once a demand is now for United Georgia, pledged Johnson at the Santa Ana, and already to do to elect the office.

But there appears to be a stumbling block in the way. It can't be done. According to a decision of the state's highest court handed down in 1896, members of the court were unanimous in deciding that the lieutenant governor remains lieutenant governor even though a vacancy is created in the office of governor. This puts Stephens, who resigned a $75000 job as congressman to accept the lieutenant-governorship, in rather an embarrassing position. He is said to have made the statement he would not accept the lieutenant-governorship if he did not believe he would become California's governor. The lieutenant-governor draws $4,000 salary and the governor receives $10,000. Stephens has lost $3,500 by resigning as congressman and now there is no hope of him securing the $10,000 salary as governor. The case in which the supreme court made the above decision was that of The People vs. Budd. During governor Budd's term of office Lieut-Gov. Millard died and Gov. Budd appointed William T. Jeter to fill the vacancy. At the time the courts were asked for a writ of mandate to compel Gov. Budd to include in the proclamation for the election that fall, a call to fill the office of lieutenant-governor for the unexpired term of Mr. Millard. It is not known who was to become lieutenant-governor when Stephens was elevated to the office of governor when Johnson resigns, which will probably be on the eve of the primary election, but whoever the gentleman was his chances of getting on the state payroll in exchange of pulling some votes for Johnson have bone glimmering. EDITORIAL BREVITIES TEXAS AND PENNSYLVANIA The first distribution of money from the federal treasury to the states for the construction of good roads is about to be made, and by the computation as published the state of Pennsylvania will get $230,644, while the state of Texas will receive $291,927. Last year the state of Pennsylvania contributed to the federal treasury, in corporation and income taxes, the sum of $8,172,550.78. The state of Texas contributed $1,570,127.07. This year, under the president's call for troops to patrol the Mexican frontier, the state of Pennsylvania sent 11,000 men. The state of Texas sent 3,500. The state of Pennsylvania, with its commerce and industry and financial activity, has no branch of the federal reserve bank within its borders. The state of Texas has one. The state of Pennsylvania has one member of the president's cabinet. The state of Texas has two at present and has had a third. The state of Pennsylvania has no representative on the supreme court bench. The state of Texas has. And yet there are Democrats who grow exceedingly angry when anyone remarks, even casually, that their party is sectional. DENMARK PAYS HEAVY TOLL Denmark is one of Europe's small nations which is supposed to be preserving a strict neutrality in the present crisis on that continent, but it was recently discovered that it has been favoring the allies, consequently the Kaiser figured up a little bill for damages, in amount $22,400,000, which Denmark was forced to pay. The Danes control the Baltic's outlet to The river protection committee met at the board of trade rooms Tuesday evening for the purpose of arranging for the election which will soon be held for the formation of the district and the election of a board of trustees to take charge of the work of diking the river. The committee consists of E. Cook, F. N. Gibbs, A. A. Mills, Wm. Stark, Charles Eygabroad, O. E. Steward, John Kellenberger, W. W. Marten, H. A. Lake, C. S. Holt, J. C. Mitchell, J. A. Knapp and the attorneys are H. C. Head and H. G. Ames. J. B. Neff met with the committee. Sentiment in the territory is believed to be overwhelmingly in favor of protection, and since the eastiders have started work it behooves the people on the west to get busy. Aviator Frank Bosquel, protege of Art Smith, has been signed by the Jewel City Amusement company of Seal Beach, to give a two weeks' program of exhibition flights. Among the events included in Bosquel's contract are spiral loops and drops, figure-eight slides and unsidedown flying. He will also give illuminated night flights when the colored scintillators will be played upon his aeronautical maneuvers. The Canadian Society of Southern California will hold its annual picnic at Sycamore Grove, Saturday afternoon, August 19. All former residents of Canada are invited to attend. Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Kennedy of Glendale were visiting friends in Anaheim Sunday. Fred Silk of East Aurora, New York, was visiting at the W. S. Pomeroy home Sunday. He was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Meyer of Long Beach. It is not known who was to become lieutenant-governor when Stephens was elevated to the office of governor when Johnson resigns, which will probably be on the eve of the primary election, but whoever the gentleman was his chances of getting on the state payroll in exchange of pulling some votes for Johnson have bone glimmering. EDITORIAL BREVITIES Judge Bordwell has retired from the senatorial contest, but Joe Burke's white kicks and Stanley Reinhaus' long pants suits are still with us. Hiram Johnson is registered a progressive, has not been a republican for six years, and now asks the republican nomination for United States Senator. He is not entitled to receive it and should be defeated. Vote for Willis H. Booth. A starry flag unfurls o'erhead, and Hiram Johnson's numbered with the dead! Will Hiram Johnson resign the governorship of California? Probably not. BORDWELL WITHDRAWS FROM SENATORIAL RACE Pledges His Support to Booth, Declares he is Ready to Work for Him In a statement to his friends and supporters Tuesday Judge Walter Bordwell withdrew from the race for the republican nomination for United States senator, and pledged his support to Willis H. Booth. This action on the part of the judge unites the republicans of the South on Mr. Booth, and insures the defeat of Governor Johnson for the republican nomination. "I have always entertained a kindly feeling for Mr. Booth," said Mr. Bordwell, "and it is my desire to do everything within my power to bring about his election. I am a very busy man, having more work in connection with the board of education than the average person can imagine, but I will take off my coat for Willis Booth and the republican party if it is necessary. "I am absolutely satisfied that Mr. Booth can defeat Gov. Johnson for Denmark PAYS HEAVY TOLL Denmark is one of Europe's small nations which is supposed to be preserving a strict neutrality in the present crisis on that continent, but it was recently discovered that it has been favoring the allies, consequently the Kaiser figured up a little bill for damages, in amount $22,400,000, which Denmark was forced to pay. The Danes control the Baltic's outlet to the ocean, and it was suspected they were permitting English submarines to pass through and attack German shipping in that sea. A German U-boat, disguised as an Englishman, went through the Katt-e-gatt without a protest. The German government thereupon charged Denmark with disregarding the laws of neutrality, and presented a bill for the amount of damage sustained by German ships on account of that breech. That is the reason the Danish government is offering the islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John, in the West Indies, to the United States for $25,000,000. It needs the money. A few years ago these islands were offered to Uncle Sam for $5,000,000, but the war has increased the value of naval bases, and Wilson appears inclined to pay the price asked. Some time ago the war department advertised for bids for furnishing the government with about 4,000,000 yards of khaki duck, cotton cloth and melton. Quite a number of manufacturers sharpened their pencils and proceeded to make estimates of prices at which they could supply the United States Quartermaster with these goods. Conformable to regulations each bidder had to furnish a guaranty bond. There is considerable work required in submitting proposals to the government for supplies. The bids for these cloths were opened the latter part of July at the Schuykill Arsenal. Now it develops that all bids have been rejected because congress had made no appropriation available for entering into the contracts. This is just a little sample of the slipshod methods with which the present administration handles government business.

George Ziegler is spending a few weeks at Long Beach, for the benefit of his health. The 1916 importations reached the highest mark ever recorded in the trade history of the United States. The average rate of duty on those imports was the lowest ever recorded in our history. We imported $246,000,000 worth of foreign goods, which paid a duty of $18,915,393, or an average rate of 8.1 per cent. At this rate the democratic party will have to devise 57 varieties of taxation to pay for the "pork" consumption of the southern states and to meet a preparedness program which absolutely disregards the question of government source of income. But there is always internal taxation to fall back upon, and, as a democratic representative from the south remarked to Uncle Joe Cannon: "Well, it does not make any difference how we vote for expenditures. You fellows north have to pay them." And to the southern cengressman the north and the west are all of a piece. Sixty-eight per cent of the total imports into the United States entered free of duty during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1916, as compared with 54 per cent during the fiscal year 1913, with the republican tariff law in force. This is an increase of 22 per cent of duty free goods over 1913. Our total imports fell just short of $2,200,000,000, or $387,000,000 greater than the total for the last fiscal year under the republican tariff law, 1913. But, whereas $1,813,000,000 worth of imports in 1913 yielded $318,000,000 of customs revenue, the total imports of 1916 yielded but $212,000,000 of customs revenue. In other words, our foreign competitors got an additional slice of our market ly feeling for Mr. Booth," said Mr. Bordwell, "and it is my desire to do everything within my power to bring about his election. I am a very busy man, having more work in connection with the board of education than the average person can imagine, but I will take off my coat for Willis Booth and the republican party if it is necessary. "I am absolutely satisfied that Mr. Booth can defeat Gov. Johnson for the republican nomination. In my mind there is no question about it. The governor will get the progressive nomination because there is no opposition in that party and the big fight naturally will come after the primaries. I will be found ready and willing to do anything I can either before or after the primaries." The Worcester Pressed Steel Company is assured of full capacity operation for the next five months.

In other words, our foreign competitors got an additional slice of our market worth nearly $400,000,000, and for the privilege of doing business in our market they paid $106,000,000 less, and this license paid by the foreigners to compete in the American market, which is in the shape of a tariff tax, lessens the amount of internal taxation to which our own people must be subjected in order to carry on the functions of government—within certain limits.
