WASHINGTON.—One of the curi
ous angles of the recent presiden
tial campaign was the desperate ef
fort of both parties to get certain
men to come out in the open and
speak, and of getting other men to
keep quiet
Of course, in each instance one
party tried to get the man to speak.
Johnson
MIIU U1C UUICI pox j
tried to persuade
him to keep quiet.
The latest devel
opment was the de
cision of Hiram W.
Johnson to make a
radio speech against
the third term. It
may be recalled that
in 1932 the California
senator actually ad
vocated the election
of Roosevelt. John
son s causuc disapproval oi Meroerx
Hoover had a good deal to do with
that.
In 1936 Johnson said nothing, ei
ther for or against. He had soured
quite a bit on Roosevelt after his
first blush of enthusiasm. But he
was not particularly keen about Alf
M. Landon. So he just kept quiet.
DISREGARDS PARTIES
Johnson has been almost as un
impressed by the notion of party
regularity as the late William E.
Borah, probably due to his battles
with the old Republican machine in
the days of W. H. Crocker in Cali
fornia. In 1912, showing his dis
regard of party regularity, he was
the nominee for vice president on
the Progressive ticket with Theo
dore Roosevelt, at which time, by
the way, Franklin Roosevelt voted
for him.
In 1916, Johnson became an abom
ination to all regular Republicans
because so many of them blamed
him for the defeat of Charles E.
Hughes for the presidency. This had
lots of interesting repercussions
There is scarcely a doubt that if
Johnson had made a few speeches
for Hughes in 1916, he would have
been nominated at some later time
for the presidency by the Republi
can party.
In 1920, it was bitter recollection
of what had happened in 1916 that
kept Johnson from having a chance
for the nomination, though he had
made a much better showing than
any other Republican in the presi
dential primaries. It was at that
same convention, by the way, that
he twice refused a chance which
would have made him president by
succession. He declined to run for
vice president with Philander C.
Knox, and then again with Warren
G. Harding. Both men died well
within the four years.
GLASS CAUSED ANXIETY
But Johnson was only one of many
men who have been subject to
much pulling and hauling to get
them on the stump or to keep them
quiet this year. Outstanding in the
group was James A. Farley, the
man who organized the campaign
which nominated Roosevelt in 1932,
and who ran the successful Roose
i velt campaigns of 1932 and 1936.
Farley was violently against the
third term. But he is tremendous
ly regular.
Sen. Carter Glass of Virginia was
another whose silence caused a
great deal of anxiety. Right after
the Chicago convention, where the
great Virginian opposed the third
term in placing Farley in nomina
tion, Senator Glass announced that
j he would vote for Roosevelt. But
| he explained that he felt an obliga
tion to vote t for the nominee be
cause he had been a delegate to the
j cpnvention which nominated him.

PREPARE FOR DEFENSE
With an eye to an impregnable
hemisphere defense, Washington of
ficials are seeking to establish a
network of New world army, navy
and air force bases strengthened
by diplomatic and military agree
ments.
Such a co-ordinated system of air.
sea and land defenses is being dis
cussed by diplomats representing
I nations on both continents. The
United States is seeking to convince
its neighbors that any agreement
would be entirely voluntary. Use of
the bases would not affect original
sovereignty, and the whole affair
would be co-operative, rather than
j one-sided.
In line with this plan, the United
States invited Latin-American col
laboration in the use of the eight
Atlantic bases offered this country
by Great Britain.
According to present pians, the
United States would provide the
money and, in the beginning, the
land, sea and air equipment.
Diplomats deny that any specific
bases have been mentioned in the
discussions or that negotiations have
reached any definite stage. But then,
diplomats are generally reticent to
discuss the progress of negotiations
until agreements have been con
cluded.
