JOHNSON SCORED BY FORMER FRIEND GEORGE C. PARDEE OPPOSES THE GOVERNOR IN HIS CAN-DIDACY FOR SEN-ATORSHIP SAYS HE WAS HOIST WITH HIS OWN PETARD IN ADVISING VOTERS TO REGISTER NO-PARTY Ev-Governor George C. Pardee of the Oakland Enquirer, formerly one of Governor Johnson's chief supporters in the state, is fighting that gentleman in his efforts to secure the republican nomination for United States senator. Pardee split with the governor on the non-partisan registration question and helped to defeat those measures. In Saturday's Enquirer, under the synonym of "The Wayfarer," he writes as follows regarding the governor's candidacy: "Much to the satisfaction of Governor Johnson, he will have two opponents—Booth and Bordwell—for the republican nomination for the United States senate. The governor will have the progressive nomination by default. And he thinks, and correctly thinks, that the more the anti-Johnson republicans are divided up, the easier it will be for the Johnson republicans to win. Therefore, of course, the governor is pleased because Judge Bordwell and Willie republican party because of that steamroller. The governor, along with a lot of the rest of us, was so blamed mad, in 1912, that he took the progressive vice presidential nomination to help beat Mr. Taft and the steamroller people. This year, he asks for the republican nomination for the senate, with which to help beat the same men he wanted to beat four years ago. Evidently the governor has availed himself of the privilege possessed by every American citizen, viz., to change his political mind. The rumors that are going around as to the reasons for Judge Bordwell's late entry and persistency in staying in the fight for the republican nomination for the senate are, most of them, so highly improbable as to be practically impossible. For instance, one of these rumors is to this effect: One of the justices of our four courts of Appeal being likely shortly to resign on account of illness, it is said that Bordwell has been promised the appointment to this vacancy if he will stay in the race for the senate and is beaten. Another equally foolish rumor is to the effect that Bordwell, if he stays in the fight and thus helps the governor beat Booth, will, in the event of the success of Hughes and Johnson, be taken care of by appointment to some satisfactory judicial position. But, it seems, the governor is also looking for help from democratic sources. At any rate, the Woodrow Wilson Independent League of San Francisco, in its call for a conference on August 5th, contains this paragraph: "It is likely that there will also be a strong movement in favor of Governor Johnson for United States senator, as the Wilson progressives are following Johnson's plea to the progressives to governor's advice and their party affiliation permitted to vote mary. This explorer meant last week ago, when he land auditors that primary. There pressure from all the coming campaign of our most independent not affiliated with him be counted out of election."

If it is the republicans to pick out their senate, why wasn "Much to the satisfaction of Governor Johnson, he will have two opponents—Booth and Bordwell—for the republican nomination for the United States senate. The governor will have the progressive nomination by default. And he thinks, and correctly thinks, that the more the anti-Johnson republicans are divided up; the easier it will be for the pro-Johnson republicans to win. Therefore, of course, the governor is pleased because Judge Bordwell and Willis Booth are both in the fight against him for the republican nomination. And he would be still more pleased if there were several other candidates to still further divide up the anti-Johnson republican votes. In 1910, when he was first elected, the governor was able to get away with the republican nomination because the anti-Johnson republicans were divided up between Alden Anderson, Charley Curry, Phil Stanton and Nat Ellery. In the primary election of that year, the governor got considerably less than a majority of the votes cast. But, because the majority was split up between four other aspirants, he was able to get away with the nomination. Two years after his election, as the republican nominee, as governor, Johnson left the republican party, helped organize the progressive party, and led a lot of republicans over into the new party. Two years later than that, in 1914, when the governor was re-elected, he had only one nomination, the progressive Eshleman had the Progressive and republican nomination. Richardson had the progressive, republican and democratic nominations. So had Webb. But the governor refused to ask for any nomination but the progressive. He deprecated the fact that progressives had sought and gotten the nominations of other parties. Evidently, though, the people thought it was all right, even if the governor didn't. For, with only one nomination, the governor received about as many votes at the general election as did those progressives who asked for and got the nominations of another party or two. This year, though, the governor doesn't seem to think it isn't right for a progressive to take the nomination of his own party and ask for the nomination of another party which only two years ago, he deserted and has been denouncing and condemning ever since. If only a portion of that on care of by appointment to some satisfactory judicial position. But, it seems, the governor is also looking for help from democratic sources. At any rate, the Woodrow Wilson Independent League of San Francisco, in its call for a conference on August 5th, contains this paragraph: "It is likely that there will also be a strong movement in favor of Governor Johnson for United States senator, as the Wilson progressives are following Johnson's plea to the progressives to organize within the party they choose to affiliate with in the presidential election." Now, the governor, while himself declaring for Hughes, did advise the progressives to leave the progressive party and affiliate with that one of the old parties to whose principles they were most attachel. In other words, the governor says to republican progressives: "Go back into the republican party and vote for Hughes and me." And to the democratic progressives he practically says: "Go back into the democratic party and help Wilson and me." Both Hughes and Wilson ought to be pleased with the governor's advice to his progressive friends. But if the rank and file of the progressive republicans and democrats of California want to follow the governor's directions, whose business is it but that of the ranks and files of the two parties? The governor's meeting, last Friday evening a week ago, in the ballroom of the Hotel Oakland, filled that room to overflowing, and the packed audience cheered the speaker to the echo every time it had a change. Every one of the governor's appointees and the appointees of the governor's appointees who could get there was there to start and aid the cheering. They came from San Francisco, Alameda, San Leandro, Hayward, Berkeley, and even from Sacramento and Stockton, to show their fealty to their chief. But, after all, the governor must have the support of others than those—even if they be many in number—who hold offices under him. The Wayfarer has not forgotten how the governor's official family helped to fill the Auditorium theater, a year ago, with a cheering multitude, when he was stumping in the state in favor of his referendum nonpartisan laws. To one who placed his political dependence on audiences and cheers, and did not stop to consider who was making the noise, it looked, of course, as if the governor was going to beat them. The governors' legal and "unlawful" spirit of the day and a lot of things sense of humor off gregs seems to that they can not notice of their practice of which selves. If it is that republicans try to pick out their senate, why wasn't medicine? for their progressive friendence for the same republican conference unlawful and again direct primary law mumbojumbob progressive conference lawful and in common spirit of the direct Were the protest friends and brothels would be funny. But, made by these progressives, the part at all—it is ludicrous error truly says that final analysis nominees in these days. That being regard the republica bad thing and therefore as a good be that the rank publican party is by the republican's progressives act. But all is not poor progressive ranks acting chairman of national executive a call last weekference of those who repudiate them W.

These program evident, will not Johnson into the they seem to have said when, along they denounced a 1912, the same go the governor received about as many votes at the general election as did those progressives who asked for and got the nominations of another party or two. This year, though, the governor doesn't seem to think it isn't right for a progressive to take the nomination of his own party and ask for the nomination of another party which only two years ago, he deserted and has been denouncing and condemning ever since. If only a portion of that which the governor has said in condemnation of the republican party be true, it must be a great wrench for him to go to that party and ask it to nominate him for the senate. If the governor had left the progressive party, as he left the republican party two years ago, and had gone back into the republican party before he asked it to nominate him for the senate, the standpatters couldn't have made so much noise about it. But, as the governor remains a progressive while asking for the republican nomination, the standpatters are making much of the governor's availing himself of a privilege which he condemned two years ago. The formerly republican progressives, led by the governor, kicked themselves out of the republican party because of the way Messrs. Barnes, Penrose, Crane, Root, Smoot and others conducted and engineered and firemanned and brakemanned the steam roller at the Chicago convention of 1912. Now, Messrs. Barnes, Penrose, Crane, Root Smoot and others were on board of and in control of the steamroller at the republican national convention of 1916, just as they were in 1912. And they ran that roller back and forth over the prostrate political bodies of the governor and the rest of the progressives until they were as thin, in 1916, as they were in 1912, when so many of the republicans jumped out of the As the Wayfarer predicted would be the case, the governor finds himself in trouble because so many people followed the advice he gave them not to register as party partisans. The governor seems to be in trouble because he finds that there are 300,000 voters who, because they followed his advice and didn't register their party affiliations, can't vote at the primary, on August 22nd, when the party nominees for United States senator will be chosen. These 300,000 voters, the governor probably thinks, would support him if they could and did vote—thinks so because they took his advice and so registered that they will be unable to vote for him or any one else at the coming primary. That advice was given and acted upon shortly after the legislature had passed the governor's second set of nonpartisan laws, under which anybody could vote at any party primary he chose to vote at. But this law has been held up by the referendum, and those voters who took the gov- those—even if they be many in number—who hold offices under him. The Wayfarer has not forgotten how the governor's official family helped to fill the Auditorium theater, a year ago, with a cheering multitude, when he was stumping in the state in favor of his referendum nonpartisan laws. To one who placed his political dependence on audiences and cheers, and did not stop to consider who was making the noise, it looked, of course, as if the governor was going to beat the referendum and get his nonpartisan measures adopted by the people. But the measures were badly beaten, notwithstanding the large and enthusiastic meetings that greeted the governor wherever he spoke during that campaign. The governor will need a lot more votes to nominate him for the senate than those of the people who attend his meetings.

ZEROLENE the Standard Oil for Motor Cars Sold by dealers everywhere and at all Service Stations of the Standard Oil Company (Anaheim) MR. HUGHES ON MEXICO Charles E. Hughes placed fitting emphasis on two facts in Wilson's Mexican policy which illustrate both its insincerity and futility. Quoting that member of the cabinet who recently confessed that the Vera Cruz expedition was not "to force Huerta to salute the flag," but "to show Mexico that Huerta must go," he placed responsibility for that inglorious expedition where it belongs. And in recalling the fact that during this invasion of Mexico to overturn the only government that country had, representatives of European governments had to give our citizens at Tampico protection which our country would not extend, he proves that national humiliation, in the failure of the expedition to serve its ostensible purpose and in its failure to protect its own nationals against the fury aroused among the Mexicans by that failing attempt, is the net result to the United States of only authority in Mexico then discharging any of the functions of government in that country, which was according to all foreigners a degree of protection, and with the overthrow of which real chaos in Mexico began. The republican candidate for president was not less erring in citing the letter of Secretary Lansing, showing conclusively that outlawry and banditry greatly increased following the Huerta overthrow, and that the number of Americans killed, imprisoned or despoiled in the country was many times greater than the number who suffered under the strong de facto government Mr. Wilson used our army and navy to end. The facts are indisputable, the figures unanswerable. A natural development in any country, following the overthrow of a de facto government, by a foreign force, must be demoralization and chaos, during a period, long or short, before a lawful government can be set up in the place of that de- But all is not peace and quiet in the progressive ranks. Matthew Hale, acting chairman of the progressive national executive committee, issued a call, last week, for a national conference of those progressive leaders "who repudiate the attempt of George W. Perkins and others"—note that "and others"—to deliver the progressive party to the republican party." Balnbridge Colby, J. A. H. Hopkinson and other progressive leaders, "who have refused to follow Mr. Perkins into the Hughes camp," were consulted by Chairman Hale before he issued the call for a conference. Evidently, there are not a few progressives who are still progressives and haven't been delivered to anybody. These progressives, it is quite evident, will not follow Governor Johnson into the republican party—they seem to have meant what they said when, along with the governor, they denounced and condemned, in 1912, the same gentlemen who ran calling the fact that during this invasion of Mexico to overturn the only government that country had, representatives of European governments had to give our citizens at Tampico protection which our country would not extend, he proves that national humiliation, in the failure of the expedition to serve its ostensible purpose and in its failure to protect its own nationals against the fury aroused among the Mexicans by that failing attempt, is the net result to the United States of the president's use of the army and navy to serve his prejudice against "the individual Huerta." It has been repeatedly charged, before the confession quoted by Mr. Hughes was made, that the object of the expedition to Vera Cruz was never any other than the overthrow of the Orange County Dry & Steam Cleaning Works THE Peerless Saloon JOHN CASSOU.
