California Johnsonians in rhoos
ing their hero as an alternate
are betrayed. He has to melt
stony hearts by his eloquence.
His mighty voice is to soften and
persuade hostile delegations. The
galleries, judiciously "dressed",
will make majestic reboation. In
a grand transformation scene,
pandemonie in hullabaloo, pan
angelic in brotherly affection,
the foremost anti-iniquitarian
will be nominated bv a unanim

Lovely picture, more than
worthy of the golden age! We
hear the iron tears drawn down
Penrose's cheek. Even Murray
Crane takes shelter in a confess
ing handkerchief. The rocky
heart of William Carries is moved
t) the la(e remorse of love. The
groups of veteran politicians who
were cold and deaf to so many
miles of appealing words in 1012
and 191fi are won at last. Yet
why should Senator Johnson's
physical presence and far-heard
voice be necessary to get him
the prize? He deserves it for,
more solid reasons. He repre
sents openly the steady hostility,
shown more insidiously by the
leader of the Republican Party
in the Senate, to the League of
Nations, to the reconstruction
of business confidence, to the
diminution of armaments and
war. In his six years as Governor :
the expenditures of the State
were increased nearly 100 per
cent. As an economist, a reduc
er of taxation, he perfectly re
presents the passion for economy
and tax reform of this Republi
can Congress. With a so flaw
lessly Republican record, why
should he have to let loose his
thunder at Chicago? New York

such study." By a rather un
