ONLY RIVALS Food Chief Is Being Slowly Pushed Off The Political Map. BV WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS rSTAFF CORRESPONDENT t. N SERVICE1 WASHINGTON. Apri 22 Herbert Hoover is slowly but su-ely being pushed off the political map. Such 1 the lesson of the last few weeks as read by experts in both the big parties. Tuesday week May 4 in California, they preiiict, will tell the tale. Either the obviously waning enthusiasm tor the former food administrator will be revived by a victory in the primaries there over Senator Hiram Johnson, ele the end of the Hoover chapter has come for this campaign at least. BIT TWO CANDIDATE In California there are but two ca-n-dinates. Hiram Johnson and Herbert Hoover. Both are native sons. Two tickets have been prepared, one for Johnson and one for Hoover, each bearing the names of 26 delegates. The " fight will be as clean as a whistle. Neither Senator Johnson nor Hoover will make speeches out there nor will they send any of their lieutenants to stump the state. If there is to be any campaigning at all. U w ill be undertaken by volunteer local talent. JOHNSON MEN" CONFIDENT Jchnsonites here are thoroughly confident they have the situation in hand. They point out that in Minnesota Hoover ran fourth; in Michigan a poor third and in Illinois whereas. Johnson piled up seventy thousand v tes. according to the latest flgrurM. Hoover got a sparse 500. It is trtie that Hoover's name was not n the ballot and it had to be written, but this also applied to Johnson-his cam to be written in too. The report, that Hooker's nam was not entered in time legally to put -on th-v California, .ticket was a misinter pretation -of the ftewa that Hoover registration - affidavit arrlred too late to entitle him to cast his personal vote in the primaries. Hoover's name will appear on the ballot, precisely as will Johnson's.

Owing to the fact that W. E. Osborn feels that he does not hAve the necessary time to devote to the work, his resignation as president of the clab was accepted. C. G. Kingwill, Johnson booster premier, was selected for the position. C. A. Taylor of the F. S. Betz. plant was elected treasurer. Money to meet expenses locally will be raised by voluntary subscription and a neat sum wa turned over to the treasurer last night. W. J.
