REASONS GIN
FOR TOE SPLIT
IN CALIFORNIA
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—So far as
! may be learned at this time, it is the
general opinion among progressive re
publicans, democrats, independents
I and even conservative republicans,
that the reason why alifornia went
republican by about 300,00 for senator
and democratic for president, was be
cause Mr. Hughes in his campaign
visit to this state made Mr. Wilson a
1 pre-election present of just about 75,
' 000 progressive votes by placing him
| self in the hands of the old school re
I publicans.
I During his entire stay in the state
by failing to meet Governor Johnson,
his chief supporter, by failing even to
mention the long list of advanced leg
islative measures enacted by the pro
gressives, and by failing to declare
himself generally on the subject of
progressivism, it was then in the ear
ly days of the campaign, say observ
ers of all shades of political opinion,
that Mr. Hughes lost California.
Rightly or wrongly, justly or un
justly, California progressives got'the
idea that Mr. Hughes, who did not
recognize them or their policies in any
way, would not, good as he had been
recognized as a governor, be so likely
to put their ideals into legislation as
Mr. Wilson, who had already trans
lated into law 22 out of 30 planks of
the national progressive party.
That this large number of progres
! sive voters actually intended, before
he came here, to vote for Mr. Hughes,
and would gladly have gone to him
had he heartily expressed a natural
affiliation with them, or had he even
refrained from fraternizing so freely
with their political enemies, is surely
believed by many.
While this may account for Mr. Wil
son’s carrying the state the failure of
the democratic candidate for the sen
ate is accounted for by the state’s
long-established habit of non-partisan
voting, the voters believing that Mr.
Johnson, whose record they know,
would be more likely effectively to ex
press their political ideals than Mr.
Patton. Although he espoused the
policies of Mr. Wilson, he had not a
record of accomplishment similar to
that of Mr. Johnson.
Another consideration that tended
to swing this normally strong repub
lican state to Mr. Wilson was the
opinion firmly imbedded in the
thought of the electorate, whether
rightly or wrongly, justly or unjustly,
that Mr. Hughes from what he said
and what he failed to say and from
the utterances of his chief sponsor,
Mr. Roosevelt, leaned quite percepti
1 bly toward an attitude of thought cal
culated to induce unnecessary and un
desirable foreign complications. The
California electorate may, perhaps,
be said to be in an heroic mood, but its
heroism is apparently social, econom
ic and internal, rather than martial or
international in nature.
The ultimate effect of the woman’s
party activity against Mr. Wilson is
problematical. It undoubtedly gained
votes for Mr. Hughes, but it likewise
undoubtedly alienated others. Many
women believed the propaganda inim
ical to the suffrage cause, and thought
it impolitic to imitate what they re
garded as the unworthy methods of
| men.
There is a tendency among the ex
tremists of the old school republicans
to blame Governor Johnson for the
Hughes defeat in this state, it being
said that he did not make any effort
to bring the progressives back into
the fold. It is a fact, however, that
Mr. Johnson and nearly all of the pro
gressive leaders spoke strongly for
Mr. Hughes throughout the state, and
one of the leading San Francisco
newspapers, owned by conservative
republican interests and a consistent
opponent of Governor Johnson, says
in a statement signed by its president
and publisher, that Mr. Johnson “tried
I his very best to carry California for
Hughes, but the handicap which the
leaders of the republican party had
put upon him at the beginning of the
campaign by their very treatment of
Mr. Johnson himself evidently was
not forgotten by the voters.”
It is also pointed out in this con
nection that strongholds of conserva
tive republicans, managed by men of
that wing of the party, also went for
Wilson, this showing it is said, that
Johnson was not responsible for the
failure of the republican ticket.
The California vote being one of
the decisive factors in the national
election and at the same time sending
to the senate a man who many believe
will be one of its leading members
marks in the view of many the state’s
entrance into a foremost place in the
national affairs. It is firmly believed
by his friends that Senator Johnson
will be the republican candidate for
i the presidency at the next election.
