Prospects Are Not Bright By MARK SI IJJVAN. Washington, I). C„ Dee. 26— Sen ator Hiram Johnson and his manag ers will begin the new year with an effort to put vigor into his campaign for the republican campaign. One of tlte expectations is that the sen ator will make a keynote speech, and It Is said that the' time will be early in January and the place Cleveland. If this expectation is fulfilled, it hand in hand with the selec •lion already made of Cleveland as the national headquarters of the John son organization and the official seat of Ids manager, Frank Hitchcock. This is part of the known program of the Johnson organization which is to center their drive in the states of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and Michigan. The first two are chosen because they are doubtful states, as between the republicans and democrats; and the latter are chosen partly because they are part of the heart of republican power and partly because they are states In which Johnson was espe cially strong in 1920. Basis of Theory. The basis of the theory of the John son managers is to try to be able, by the time the convention opens In June, to say to the republican lead ers that Johnson can carry more votes than Coolldge In the two pivo tal state of Ohio and Indiana; and is the preference of more republicans than Coolldge In the two big repub lican state of Illinois and Michigan. They hope to be able to prove this by the results in the primaries, which will take place in these states In April •nd May. The burden of the John son hope lies In this effort to be able to show greater strength than Cool ldge In this vital territory and by this to convince the republican man agers that Johnson can make a stronger campaign against the demo crats In the subsequent election than Coolldge can. The Johnson backers do not hope and never have hoped to get more del than Coolldge throughout the BPWmtry. They know and admit that they cannot get more than a scat tering delegate of two in the hundred from New England. They have no strong hope of doing much among the more than a hundred delegates from the south, except in North Car olina, and possibly one oth<>r southern state. They have some hope of get ting a considerable number of dele gates from west of the Mississippi on the theory that Johnson represents the first hope western republicans have ever had of putting a westerner in the White House. But the total number of delegates west of the Mis sissippi is less than a fourth of the convention. Prospects Not Bright. Politicians universally, Including Johnson's own friends, admit that tarely has a man started out to get a nomination under circumstances less promising of success. Johnson today stands farther back in the race than when he made his entry in No vember. Practically everything that has happened has run against him. It is not an unreasonable surmise rhat if Johnson had not made his an nouncement in November he would hesitate to make It today. The most damaging Incident was the endorse ment of Coolidge by Fprd. Fully hatf of the basts of Johnson’s candidacy was the expectation of being able to picture Coolidge as the reactionary candidacy and himself the progrefn sive candidate. This other half lies •- '■ i hope of making an issue out of n relations. That Ford, who was the idol of most of the insurgents and discontented voters In the west, should say that Coolidge is satisfac tory to him was blasting to that part of Johnson's hopes which lay in this field. The progressives, insurgents and indicate felt that if Ford were presi dent be would find ways to do the things they want done, and Ford says i i effect that If he hud tlie power lie v ould give the Job to Coolidge. It is probably true, us Johnson's friends say. that Ford cannot deliver his fol lowing. Many of those who were de termined to put Ford in the White Mouse, being radicals by tempera ment. will now turn to some other radical, probably LaFollette. Hut the .rest body of tlie middle of the road people will take Ford’s assurance about Coolidge as having great weight and will be most disinclined to give encouragement to opposition from Johnson, InFolletto or arty one else. Faces Hard Fight. •Johnson not only faces the Inherent difficulty, almost the Impossibility, of taking the nomination away from a president In office, but faces It under ihe added difficulty of the obvious present contentment wtlh that presi dent among republican voters every pin re. The analogy, nr rattier the lack of a oology, to 1912, Is convinc ing. Kvery one admits that Cooildge today is more acceptable to the repub lican voters than Taft was on Janu ary 1, 1912. and if Itoosevelt. with his greater personality and popularity, -\p 1m under much more favorable clr Mjjrmstanc.es. was unable ot take the nomination away from Taft, ran John eon take It sway from Cooildge? Tlie most dependable information 1 that comes from California is that oven in Johnson’s own state, Cool idge's friends, added to those w'ho are not necessarily Coolldge’s friends hut are primarily and determinedly Johnson’s opponents, can prevent Johnson from getting the delegates. Practically the only danger to Cool idge now', and it is a real danger, lies In the possibility that the repub lican congress may turn out to be, unpopular, and that the country may roughly identify the republican presi dent with the republican congress, but while this would help the demo crats greatly, would it help Johnson? Johnson is not, only a member of the republican party, but as a senator himself cannot avoid odium for what congress does even as much as Cool idge can. Girl Run Oxer by Automobile; 2 Others Hurt Tol, 4, lias Broken Leg and Possible Internal Injuries —One Motor Car Overturns. Alice Tverdick, 4, 4115 South Thir teenth street, Is in St. Joseph hospital with a fractured leg and possible in ternal injuries as the result of an automobile accident near her home Wednesday afternoon.

Thread of Romance Is Couple Marry After 40 • Year Separation Rewoven on Christmas Sioux City, In., Dec. 26.—Christ mas, 1923, always will be a memorable day in the lives of Mrs. Amanda Nel son of Sioux City and Peter J. Sand berg of Magnet, Neb., as it was on tliat date more than 40 years after a romance entered their lives that the pair finally became man and wife. While still in the springtime of lif° the man and the Woman conceived a deep and lasting affection for each other. But fate was unkind to them. Mr. Sandberg married another wo man while the young woman also be came a bride. For years they heard nothing of each other and then through a happy circumstance, they were appraised of each other’s whereabouts. That was after Mr. Sandberg became a widower and Mrs. Nelson a widow. They resumed their courtship. Time had mellowed their hearts still more and the spirit of Christmas would not be refused. So they wedded and once more romance stepped into their lives. Hooper Granted Phone Rate Hike Charges in Uehling, IVicker son and Winslow Remain Same—Rural Tolls Roosted. Lincoln, Dec. 28.—The elate rail way commission today partially grant ed the application of the Hooper Tele phone company, which servos Hooper. Uehling, Nickerson, and Winslow, for an increase in rates. The company was granted a small Increase January 1, 1320, but the com mission finds that it was "as much too conservative in its conclusions as the company was too liberal," and states that the 1923 Increase will bring $1,000 a year additional revenue to the company. Rates in Hooper are Increased as asked for and rural rates for all ex changes will be raised 10 cents, but the commission denied the company the right to increase rates In the other three towns it serves since they do not have the higher grade common battery service enjoyed by residents of Hooper. The company estimated that It needed additional revenue of approxi mately $1,-100 to pay T per cent on its investment, which is required if earned because of local conditions. The balance is made up by permitting the company to reduce Its set-up for maintenance from 10 to 9 per cent.

The terrifflc dtn haa subsided some what. and the dove of peace may now and then be seen hovering In the off ing. It Is not yet safe to undertake to walk across the floors without shoes, there being vast quantities of nut shells and divers and sundry pieces of sticky candy scattered about. Hut the Hist excitement of grabbing things off the Christmas tree has sub sided. Mother Is showing evidences cf the severe strain of the Inst two cr three weeks—and dad is a nervous wreck. Making Christmas merry for a big family, ranging from IS months old to past three decades, Is some Job. ^>ut it’s worth all the expenditure of time and money. Kver and anon as the door Into the kitchen Is opened there Is wafted to my nostrils the appetizing odors of roasfing turkey, bubbling cranberry sauce, mince pips in the baking, sage and onions and celery, ’n ever'thlng Confidentially, there are other odors of a very reminiscent nature, arising from a combination of the white of eggs beaten to a stiff froth, then folded Into the yolks beaten stiff, with pulverized sugar, with hot water and nutmeg, together with - l wonder when dinner will lie ready! 1 hope Santa Claus was as good to you as ho was to me. At home, watching the kiddies hopping around their Christmas tree, enjoying good health. Just the gifts I wanted, a < orklng good Christmas dinner now being put on the table stretched out to make sealing room for an even dozen of us, nnd the telephone keep ing up a continuous Jingle As good friends rsll up to wish a Merry Christ mas and a. Happy New Year. I’ll bet Hank Kord and Jack Rockefeller are Cot having half at much fun today a I am. • • • Two. houra have elapsed since last above written. I-ong practice haa ipade me fairly expert at carving a turkey. And believe me, a fellow has to bo something of an expert to keep up with the demands of a hungry bunch of kiddles, appetltiea sharpened by chasing around the neighborhood In the crisp air, showing their pres ents. I hale Just had ocular demon stration that their legs were hollow. Am going down to the river and show the young folks how to skate. Iteen a quarter of a century since I had my skates on, hut skating, like swimming, la never forgotten If once learned. Aa I remember It, I was a whiz of a skater In my young days. Wish you were here to watch me. • • • <!lod you weren't here. The spec tacle would have been very entertain ing, no doubt, hut not to me. Gosh, but the lee docs freeze hard these degenerate days! And I have learned that a fellow my age doesn't bounce like he did when he was In hlH 'teena. In fact he don't bounce a tall. He just lands with a dull, sickening thud. At least I did Kick tells run lie didn't think It possible for a man to get into so many shapes in the short space of llnnt between Ills feet-living out from under him and the impact of iso pounds on the Ice. What I'm wonder lug at Is how it fellow can fall so as to have every part of lile anatomy, front and back, lilt the lcj> all nt once I've heard of this thing of aching In every joint. If my every ache la a Joint, I'm the eighth wonder of the world, anatomically speaking lloiv ninny shoulders and hips and knees Hrol elbows Is a mull supposed to have, anyhow? W. M. M. ► * Christmas) Parole Irks Gov. Bryan Executive Doubts Right of Lincoln Judge to Free Con* \icte dParticipant in Tram Holdup. Seeks Light on Matter Lincoln, Dec. 26.—Members of the state board of paroles and pardons are at a loss today to understand the release Monday of Chester Morgan, 24, convicted holdup man, who was paroled from the bench by District Judge Morning after he had served two days in the penitentiary. Morgan was arrested recently with four companions snd charged with holding up a Lincoln street car. They pleaded guilty In district court In the morning and that afternoon were given 10 years apiece by Judge Morti ing. the speed with which they were sentenced causing considerable com ment. Morgan, In company with the other four was taken to the penitentiary', but was removed Saturday and brought before the judge two days later when he was paroled. Judge Morning, in discussing the case today, said that he was not cer tain of the legal grounds of his ac tion, but that extenuating circum stances in Morgan's case justified his release. Morgan, he said, was not an active participant In the holdup which netted $20. but sat In an automobile and waited for the other four. The legality of the judge’s action was questioned today by Governor Bryan, who Is a member of the board of pardons, the governor declaring that he had no previous knowledge that a prisoner at the penitentiary could be released or removed except after a hearing before the board. The governor said he had received, during his term of office, numerous petitions from prisoners In city and county Jails, who stated that they had been advised by district and county judges that their release could only be granted by the hoard. "Judge Morning raises a question that the board w-ould be glad to know more about," the governor said. "If there is a statute applying In Mor gan's case we are unaware of It. and any Information that we can get on the subject will enable the board to act more intelligently In future cases. "However, until I hear officially of the matter, I must assume that Judge Morning knew what he was doing when he released Morgan."
