BLOW TO JOHNSON 'N CALIFORNIA IS FINISHING TOOCH Western Senator Steps Down Out of Presidential Race Badly Beaten, By LAWRENCE MARTIN (Copyright. 1924, by United Press.) WASHINGTON. May 7. Hiram Johnson's defe**t-.by President Coolidge in the California presidential primaries is* the severest blow to Johnson's prestige since his career broadened beyond the confines of his own State. Long ago it was apparent that Johnson was out of the fight for the Republican presidential nomination. But he stayed in, refusing to take the formal step of withdrawal that would have robbed yesterday’s defeat of hiuch of its significance. Badly Beaten Now, Johnson is not only a badly beaten candidate for the presidency, but he has lost the main prop and pillar of his position—the support of his home State. It has been axiomatic for years that Johnson had only to be a candidate in California to win. His enemies, powerful though they were, have been unable to over-ride the tremendous popular strength Johnson possessed. Johnson was not ready to make any Statement regarding the California result, nor to say whether he would withdraw from the presidential contest. The fact is that he is so far out of It that the act of withdrawing now would seem ridiculous. Indiana, which snowed him under by five or six to one, and California, which turned on her favorite son, withdrew him more effectively than any statement of his. Johnson probably wiß Issue some statement later in the day, he said over the telephone from his suburban home this morning. Wliat Next? The question Is now what he will Go to recoup his broken political fortunes at home. There hstve been re.ports recently that Johnson would shortly quit the national political arena and go back to California “to start over again" in a fight to rehabilitation of the once promising car'eer which has gone to smash since he came to Washington. But he can scarcely do that at this point. He was elected to serve in the Senate until 1929. It would embarhass him with his constituents were he to attempt to give up that post to go back to California to seeK some other proof of the State's support. Neither is there any encouragement fcr him in an independent race for the presidency. The Liberals regard him as a Conservative.

P governorship nomination In the coun ty, with Shank slightly in th* lead, according to late official returns re ceived by the canvassing board. Merrill Moores apparently is assuted of Republican renomination for congressmun. as he had piled up a decisive lead over Ralph E. Updyke, who hung close to Moore's heels for a long time Tuesday night McCulloch or Durgan In the Dmocratlc race for Governor Carlton B. McCulloch and George R. Durgan were tunning fairly close. McCulloch gaining somewhat as the returns come in. Joseph P. Turk, Dem ocratic candidate for nomination for [Congressman, apparently was safely nominated by a decisive plurality. Charles B. Clarke may finish second, with Julia E. Landers and Raymond F. Murray fightir gir out for third. Willinni H. Uemy, present prosecu tor of Marion County, and James E. Deery. apparently will oppose each other in the November battle for the proseeutorship. Remy slowly drew away from James E. McDonald, his strongest opponent, while Deery apparently had run away with the Democratic nomination, leaving Richard M. Coleman far behind. There were some close races for the four nominations for State Senator. In order the four leading Demo craiic candidates were Meredith Nich olson, the author; Michael M. Mahoney, Lawrence J. Sexton and Harry W. Bassett. Russell Harrison, whose name appeared on about every Republican slate issued Tuesday from Klan to anti-Klan, led the list of Republican senatorial candidates, four of whom were to be nominated. William T Quillen, Fred M. Dickerman, Harvey G. Shafer, Robert L. Moorhead and James R. Norrell folowed in the order r.amed, Moorhead’s advocacy of the bill in the last session of the Legislaturo which was intended to prevent holding the annual 500-mile race at the Indianapolis motor speedway was said to have injured his chances of renomination. The battle for the eleven nominations for State Representative was hard fought in both parties. The leading Republican candidates for Representative were: Joseph C. Buchanan, Charles Mendenhall, Charles E. Bebinger, Russell V. Duncan, H. Walker De Haven, George W. Elliott, J. W. Ebaugh, William Y. Hinkle, Claremont R. Smith, Frank Born, William F. Werner.

McCarthy, Carl E. Wood and Edward K. McKinney. George W. Curtis seemed assured of the Democratic nomination for joint senator of Marion and Johnson counties, while William E. English was unopposed for the Republican nomination. William W. Spencer was unopposed for the Democratic nomination of joint representative and Charles M. Clark was ahead of his only Republican opponent, Frank E. Cline. The Republican battle for the sheriff nomination was interesting, although Omer Hawkins drew far ahead of the field as the count progressed. Claude F. Johnson, John F. Walker and George L. were closely bunched for second Otto Ray was making a runaway for the pemocratic nomination having

almost a majority over eight opponents. Clauer Piles Up la>ad William E. Clauer piled up a commanding lead for treasurer on the Democratic side. Paul F. Robinson, coroner, easily won the renomination on the Republican ticket, llis opponent probably will be Garrett F. Kirby. Paul It. Brown and George C. Schmidt were fighting it out for the Republican nomination for surveyor, Schmidt holding a slight lead most of the time. Rush E. Pickens led George M. Cheney for the Democratic nomination. John Kitley appeared to have easily won the Democratic race for commissioner of the First district and may be opposed either by Cassius Hogle or John E. Shearer, Republicans, who ran neck and neck throughout the morning. Charles O. Sutton seemed to have the better of Albert Hoffman in the contest for the Republican nomination as commissioner of the Third district. George H. Hardin apparently had an easy victory over two opponents for the Democratic nomination.

\\ HI).N E!Si>A\, MAY <, 1924

PROSPERITY IN > 11 WILL BE BETTER-C.OEC., Business Leaders in Annual Convention Make Statement, By United Press CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 7.—That 1924 will be a year of prosperity was the consensus of opinion among hundreds of business leaders of America attending to twelfth annual conventoiiof the Chamber of Commerce of tne United States here today. These are some of the opinions expressed: R. B. Gibbs, secretary of the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce: “Crops throughout the Kansas harvest belt are better than they have been in years. I believe the farmer only needs to apply common sense to his profession to get himself out of the rut many are in. They are better off now than they have been in several years.” M. L. Lisberger, president of M. L. Lisberger & S*on, Long Island City banker, philanthropist: Employment Better “New York State has suffered less from depression than most any other State, due to its ‘diversified industries. The building trade has succeeded hja swallowing up workers thrown terJQ porarily out of work from other branches suffering a slump. The growth of bank deposits and the decrease in charge demands are significant." Edward F. Trefze, Franklin, Hobbs & Cos., Chicago, statisticians: “The great underlying problem In American business is the farmer. When the farmer stops producing the flapper on Broadway stops eating. I think that overproduction during 1923 wifi cut into the expected business of 1924. This is especially true in the automotive world and may cause some reorganization in this field. We will see the worst slump we will face in 1925, but the following year, 1926, we wilf enter the peak of the cycle of a generation and should have the best year in the history of the country. This will be caused partly by the farmer studying the laws of economics and his own business.” Evan E. Young and William R. Castler, State Department, Washington: Dawes Plan "The Dawes reparations policy, will, we hope, work out amicably and bring the United States more foreign trade than it has had in many years. This in turn will stimulate domestic exchange.” J. R. Crowe. Jr.. National Coal and Grain Company and Crowe Coal Company. Kansas City and Henrietta, M “The western farmer has been fa* oreef by the weather so far and grain conditions point to a profitable year for him. Their main problem is marketing.’
