Washington, March 20.—It would have made no difference which ever way North Dakota went. Conlidge is bound to have a onnslderalde major ity of the delegates who meet at Cleveland on Juue 8. It will make no difference if Johnson carries South Dakota next Tuesday, which is the next at these early republican primar ies. There is more expectation of Johnson mnjring a strong showing there than In the case of North Dakota', but even if Johnson should carry South Dakota overwhelmingly. It would make no difference as be tween him and Coolidge. These early Dakota primaries have no such index value as they have hail In other years, because the conditions are (different. If Johnson should carry every one of the states In which1 he has an active organization and every delegate he goes after, ho would have In the aggregate less than one-third of the delegates, and Cool idge would have all the rest, except Im. Follette'g handful from Wisconsin and a scattering few others. It was never the theory of Johnson and his managers that they could get a ma jority of the delegates. Johnson's Theory I iisoimd. Their theory was first, to prove that Johnson could get more delegates than Coolldge In a limited number of selected states In the west; and then to say to the republican party man agers, “We have shown you that Coolldge is not popular among the re publican voters and that our man is therefore take our man." That "was the basts of Jhonsona candidacy; and it i* most unsound. Even if Johnson should make the demonstration he hoped to make, it would have been a vicarious labor in behalf of some third men, for the re publican managers in that outcome would not have ''scrapped" Coolidge In favor of Johnson, but in favor of some dark horse. As it turns out Johnson is not likely even to make the demonstration against Coolldge that he hoped, for most of the states in which he is making his experimen tal fight are going to be for Coolldge. Also Ia Follette's Theory. It is a similar theory that is behind la Follette's threat to have an in dependent republican ticket. I-a Fol lette expects to sav to the republican managers. In effect: "Take my plat form and my candidate, or I will bolt and thereby make democratic success certain." I.a Foliette can have no hope that the republican leaders will take his candidate, but he has hopes of making I hem compromise mi his platform, or a part of it, which, to a certain extent, the republican leaders may be willing to do. As regards the candidate, when the convention comes, fully two thirds of the delegates are going to be for Cool idge. Theoretically, it would lie pos slide for the republican managers to "scrap" Ooolldge at that time. The reason is that while fully two-thirds of the delegates will be "for Coolidge" in a loose sense, they wfll not be “instructed" for him in any rigid sense. Will Ian U Organization. The delegates will lie "for Coid idge," but they will not belong to Coolidge as much as they will be long to the republican leaders in the various states. This is always the case win n deli gates are not selected In a hotly contested primary fight, but are chosen largely hy arrange ments among the local leaders, with out much regard to an indifferent public sentiment. The delegates will be “for Coolidge,” but their primary allegiance will be to the state leaders of the republican organization. Cnder these circum stances, It is theoretically posible for the leaders when they come together at the convention, to drop Coolidge and name someone else. Just lately there have been rumors that this would be done. There will l>e more such rumors during the next 12 weeks. Ojie 'specific rumor lately was that the leaders would drop Coolidge In behalf of l.owden of Illinois. The writer has looked into these rumors with some care, and there is nothing in them. The program is to nominate Coolidge on the first ballot. Ab it has been put In a not very elegant, but nevertheless expressive phrase: "if the republican nomination is worth anything It must tie given to Coolidge; if It is not worth anything It must be tied to his tail and he must run with it."
