CURRY WILL FIGHT
TO ELECT JOHNSON
Defeated Candidate Promises to
Assist Republican Party's
Nominee for Governor
Charles F. Curry, defeated candidate
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor, "enters the lists in behalf of
.MiraraW. Johnson. th e partys chosen
Standard bearer.
In a personal letter of congratula
tion which he mailed yesterday after
noon to Johnson before leaving this
city for Sacramento, Curry expressed
lhe hope that the former would be
elected governor of California in No
vember, and offered to do anything in
h!s power to assist in bringing about
a republican victory. In the course
of conversation, at the same time, he
put himself even more firmly upon
record as a supporter of the man who
defeated him for .Jhe republican nomi
nation.
His letter to Johnson follows:
>3n Francisco. Auk. IT.
Honorable Hiram AY. Johnson, Man
Francisco, Cal.
My dear Mr. Johnson: I congratu
late you on having received the repub
lican nomination for the office of gov
ernor of our great Mate.
As one of your competitor* I tried
*«» make a clean and progressive light
sloes genuine republican line* and to
comply strictly with the letter and
Rpirit of the direct primary election
law.
The republicans of the utate have
« ho«« n yon as their wtandard bearer.
-«nd I sincerely hope you will be. elected
ia November.
I Khali be glad to do anything In
my power to amtiKt in your election.
Very truly youri>, # -
C. F. CURRY.
Not only Curry, but several of the
men who have been most closely iden
tified with his primary campaign, de
clared themselves as ready to turn out
in behalf of Johnson and expressed the
hope that, having won the republican
nomination, he would be successful at
the election in November. Among
those who so expressed themselves
were Thomas Keogh. who was Curry's
campaign manager, and State Senator
Richard Welch, who took an active
personal part in the primary contest
In commenting upon his own defeat,
furry was outspoken on the matter
of giving his own personal support to
Johnson. He said:
I am for Hiram TV. Johnson for
governor down the line. I hope
that he will be elected and I will do
anything I can to insure his elec
tion. I always have been a repub
lican, and I am a republican now
behind the republican nominee for
governor.
During the coming campaign I
expect to do whatever it is possi
ble to do in Mr. Johnson's behalf.
If he wishes me to do so. I will
make a few speeches for him wher
ever he belieres they. would do the
most good, or I will t go Into any
district where he may think he is
I weak and attempt to strengthen
it for him. - I want to see Mr. John
son elected and I want to see a
legislature behind him that will as
sist him In anything he may un
dertake for the good of the state.
There may be certain victories
even in defeat, and there has been
in mine. Through my "candidacy
and my efforts to secure the repub
lican nomination I have been In
strumental in smashing the worst
political machine that ever domi
nated any political party and which
disgraced the state of California.
To the thousands of loyal friends
who have stood by me in this fight
I express my deepest appreciation.
I have no way of reaching them all
personally, and take this opportun
ity of thanking them sincerely.
That the machine intends to
tight Mr. Johnson as it would have
fought me had I b_een nominated Is
a foregone conclusion. William F.
Herrin is reported/; to have s*aid
some time ago that 'the machine
would beat me at th^primary elec
tion and Johnson in November. It
is my mission. now to see that this
element which has been put out
of party control is kept out. lam
not out of politics. •

WAGNER'S NOMINATION"
\u25a0' OV^R JORDAN INDICATED \
ON the face of the partial and
incomplete returns available at
midnight, 'representing more
than a third of the precincts in the
state and approximately half of the
whole republican vote, Hirara W,
Johnson won the republican nomina
tion for governor by a plurality of ap
proximately 20,000 over Secretary of
.State Charles F. Curry.; ;W
-The -same incomplete and partial
returns, which included the cities of
San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley.
Alameda, Sacramento, Stockton and
Fresno,, show that the Lincoln-Roose-,
velt candidates swept the state, with
the exception of Associate Justice of.
? the • .court Henry -A Melvin*
Superintendent or . Public Instruction
Hyatt and the possible exception of Us
'oandHlafes for secretary of state and'
superintendent 'of . public printing.
j Retiirnfc Doubtful r;
; *"»For secretary of 'state, "Walter "Wa^r
jner. candidate, appeared
have a lead over the field and the
contest for nomination for superintend
\u25a0ent^of state printing was In doubt as
between W. "W. Shannon. Incumbent!
and Friend William Richardson, the
Lincoln-Roosevelt league candidate.
""For governor the incomplete and par
tial returns indlvate* that Johnson car
ried* every county in the state over
Curry .with the single exception mt San
Francisco.'where Curry had a plurality
0f, 3,400. The nomination of A. J. "Wai
lace of Los Angeles, Lincoln-Roosevelt
league candidate for lieutenant gover
nor,, is indicated by asubstantial plu
rality, r
• Justices Melvin and Sloss are re
hominated to the supreme bench by
substantial leads. Justice Sloss had
the indorsement of both the Lincoln-
Roosevelt league and the organization.
His. total vote will probably be the
largest polled by any candidate. Jus
tice Melvin decisively defeated Judge
\V*Ub'ur of Los Angeles, who was \n
dorsed by the Lincoln-Roosevelt league.
While, Justice Melvin's total vote will
be." far; short of that polled by Justice
Sloss..' Melvin, with only the organlza
tion indorsement, ran ahead of Sloss in
many of the interior and northern coun
ties."
Works Probably Wins *
I 'For United States senator Judge John
D. Works, indorsed -by the Lincoln-
Roosevelt league, has a substantial plu
rality of the aggregate vote,~as mdi
cated by the partial and incomplete
returns. It may be assumed from the
fact that Johnson carried all the coun
ties except San Francisco that Works
may, have polled the high senatorial In
dorsement vote in a majority of the
legislative districts. .' - ..
Pending the receipt of. the completed
returns and their segregation by legis
lative, districts. Works' status as re
gards the indorsement is problematical,
but with' the presumption of an •In
dorsement In' his favor.
;\u25a0 For ' secretary of state the incom
plete returns indicate that Florence
J. 'O'Brien, the Lincoln-Roosevelt
league's candidate, ran third, and that
the contest was between Frank C.
_jjxmlan and Walter D. .Wagner, the or
ganization candidate. Wagner's nomi
nation Is indicated. .
State Treasurer Williams was on
both the Lincoln-Roosevelt league and
organization slates, and won his nomi
nation by default.'
Attorney General Webb, indorsed- by
the league administered a crushing de
feat to Frank McGowan, the candidate
of theilerrin and McCarthy machines.
