THINGS
1 SENATOR HI
Washington.—This doc not seem
lllir the bast of all possible worlds
to Senator Hiram John-on of Cali
fornia. In fact. It must appear to
him a rather terrible place whore
all kind- of bad thing- happen and
never anything nice
Most lately Hiram has been both
ered about the frightful peril in
which his country ha < bp.?n placed
by the London naval treaty and
even after the thing was signed he
wav still growling loudly about it.
Then there's the Mooney-BHUngs
can- iii California. Just about
everyone has an opinion on •
lustier or injustice of the continued
imprisonment of (Vie two labor
traders—except Hiram All these
long years lie hasn't had a thine to
sav about this World-famous case In
his own stale and of course at ft
time when everyone yKc is Retting
excited about it silence is rather rim
barr»‘slng.
It Never Rains—It Pours
But these little irritations are
only the latest in the series, of
'n’-Re or petty griefs which have
been afflicting John-on for the past
decade. Since the League of Na
tions fight, when Johnson acquitted
himself well,.-nearly everything has
gone wrong in one way or another
and lie lias often sunk into the
ciinth. nl resentful mien
Fondly' and confidently Johnson
anticipated the presidential nomi
nation iii IP'JO which everyone
knew was equivalent to election Hr.
failure to land it after the Wood
Lowden deadlock was broken seem
ed to be a crushing blow. They
offprrd him the vice presidential
nomination during his rage and 1 e
spurned it not knowing that tie
was spurning the presidency llaelf.
He had ueen in able, progressive,
liberal leader, nationally popular.
But after that he was Just a Cali
fornia nator and his only oig
piece of work these last 10 years
has been his able, successful cham
pionship of Boulder Dam In the
later**ts of his home state.
After 1920 La Follette, Borah,
Norris aha Kenyon kept fighting
progressive cause., with more vigor
than ever, but Johnson never got
hack o the front ranks. He made
futile onslaughts on the Columbiar
treaty and the Four-Power naval
pact, but when a real hot progres
sive fight came in the Newberry
ca *> Hiram wasn't there to cast a
vole.
Lost A|ain in 1924
Ho had been the only progressive
shirr 1912 t i come within striking
distance of a major party nomina
tion, but when in 1924 he decided
lo oppose Coolidge for the nomina
tion he failed dismally even to
carry California in the primaries
It was never quite clear Just what
Hiram was campaigning about, al
though 'nc attacked the League of
Nations quite bitterly. The onlv
result of his candidacy was to cut
down hjs patronage to nothing rr
nrvt lo nothing during the Coolidge
reran
Hiram and Herbert Hoover had
been old political enemies. The
former had snowed the present
president unde in tire California
primaries of 192(1 and each disliked
the other. But it was Johnson who,
m the period of hie decline, had to
watch the steady rise of his enemy.
By 1928 Johnson was in no position
to oppose Hoover in California or
el/erhere. An agreement was
ieae.lfed vlvrcby Johnson would go
along for Hoover if the Hoover
forces would not oppose him for
the senatorial rrnominaUon. Hiram
gritted his teeth and bore it, but
he did not grin.
