Democrat Fo" Johnson. Edward 11. Hamilton. politK' editor ed-itor of the San Francisco E.v.i minor, said: "As a register! Democrat, all I want to say Is that If every candidate candi-date for president has as loyal and unselfish a lot of supporters as has Hiram Johnson in these enthusiastic Californians, there would be no room for charges of slush funds, undue influences, in-fluences, or buying tho presidency. M. H. DoYoung, publisher and proprietor pro-prietor of the San Francisco Chronicle, Chron-icle, expressed regret that tho fires provonted the Californians from meeting meet-ing Republicans of this city and receiving re-ceiving from them hearty greetings and encouragement in , the task they have assumed assum-ed of nominating "the Idol of tho people at largo," who havo con- flripncp In Vil.q nhllltv tn rnmnra thn chaos and mass of modiocracy that I now pervades tho executive department depart-ment in our national capital.

Flint of California, who is chairman of the California delegation, said today: "Leaving our own state whero the people havo been practically united for Senator Johnson for president, we reached Nevada, our neighbor stato, nnd wero gratified to find the enthusiasm en-thusiasm of the crowd3 assembled at the Btatlons equal to thoso we had loft bohlnd. This makes certain to my mind that the western etatos will t bo a uult for Senator Johnson and If wo can only bring to the City of Chl-i Chl-i cago tho enthusiasm of the plain peoplo peo-plo of tho west who know and believe be-lieve in 8enator Johnson 1 have no doubt that this will bring about his nomination, I "The delegation and friends of sen-ator sen-ator Johnson on this train are full of enthusiasm, and are prepared to do-I do-I vote every minute and every ounce of i strength they have to bring Senator ! Johnson's nomination. J "We have every reason to bellcvo i that our good friends qf Utah will Join I us In our effort to have a western man placed In the White Houso; somo j one who knows our needs and with the force and energy to bring about i the development of the west which ha3 been so sadly neglected. The I great futurp of our country depends lo a large extent on having every acre of land in tho west placed in cultivation cul-tivation wherever it la possible. Our water should bo conserved no that great irrigation projecta can be constructed, con-structed, electricity generated from our streams, great national highways built across the continent. All this is possible only by having one represent rep-resent us who is a western man and understands what the west needs. Such a man Is Hiram Johnson." |
