W. RUSSELL COLE
Hiram W. Johnson, speaking 1 ye'ster
<-ay to half a thousand businessmen
of gen Francisco, hurled at them his
:<!cas upon the issues of the present
campaign In just exactly the &ahie
manner, with the same phraseology
and the same vim and unmistakable
frankness with •which he has talked to
the farmers of the great valleys and
t!;<* miners of the mountain districts.
*'t am talking: to you frankly." he
"declared., "because I want no man to
mistake the attitude of this individual

It was simply the seating capacity of
the ballroom at the Palace hotel that
decreed the size of attendance at the
businessmen's luncheon given at noon
' 'yesterday in honor' of the standard
hearer PC the republican party. Five
hundred men left their offices at the
book hour and for two hours sat at the
hoard to which Hiram W. Johnson had
!•<"•< n invited that he might address'
-tiiem.as man to man.
>O OKDIAAUV MRETIXG
This was no ordinary political meet
inc. but an affair arranged in order
that men of Wg affairs in this cit3".
v.ich litUe time to give to thought of
.politics, migrht meet the republican
leader personally and take measure
. l-«t!i of the man and of his principles.
The demand for seats. at the luncheon.
jraj bejond every .expectation of the
< ommitteomea having the affair in
.' fharsre.- Two hundred were originally
Counted upon. 5<K» attended and several
hundred more attempted in vain to se
cure seats after every ticket had been
sold. . ...
It did not take, the affirmation of
other speakers to prove the existence
«">f a unanimous sentiment erf loyalty to
the man and his cause. The cheers that
Johnson -was given at the beginning 1 ,
. the. applause that interrupted his re
i- marks time after time, and the gVeat
outburst of enthusiasm* at the conclu-^
fcion of his ?peech,,vdld. that. And it
was. above all. a meeting of conserva
tive, matter gt fact' businessmen, and 1
not of politicians or of the merely
curious;.
When Johnson arose to -fspeak the
throngs of diners arose with him,
- cheering, clapping hands' an<i waving
napkins. "When the storm of welcome
subsided Johnson plunged Into -a speech
• that might have been made to. an au
dience in some town of one of the big'
valleys, save that he departed sli^htly
" from h!s theme to sound a note r of
warning to the men of San. Francisco.
MA\Y LES.SO.XS TO I.EARX ... \u0084
; "We have many lessons to learn be
fore p - e can ever hope "to, -carry our'
-.ideas'" to full fruition," he said,' "and
there is one big lesson that we- have
.not learned here in the. city' of .San
' Francisco as yet. It is that, good busi
ness and good government are synony
: mous and must go hand in hand. When
- once we learn that good business and
good government go together we will
have learned the rudiments of the great
• principle upon which all government
must be founded in any civilized com
munity." . . . \
, Byron Mauzy, who presided as toast
master at the luncheon, touched upon
the same theme in his Introductory re
marks, when he said: "It augurs well
for our state and our city when busi
nessmen such as are gathered here
give time from their personal affairs
to study civic matters and the needs of
our government.."
Governor Gillett made a brief speech,
in which he spoke of the arduous na
. rure of the campaign which Hiram W.
Johnson has made and asserted . that
-the. time had arrived when the. countrj
needed more than ever the services of
the: republican party. . " . ' '
• "'Great questions are arising." said
- Governor Gillett, "and through a great
republican success Sn California next
month we must prepare for ; the na
tional campaign of»two years hence.
We want to make sure that our state.
io long known as a great republican
state. Is in. line. California does not
want to follow the footsteps of Maine.
California must give the republican
party a victory next month, and I
firmly "believe, that. It will do so. I»be
lleve that Mr. Johnson will receive the
greatest republican majority ever
given any candidate, and when I step
. down and out and turn the office of :
governor over to him it will be to feel
that the government of the state- will
•continue to be administered for the
best interests of the people of the
state of California.". - }\ ; .
WALLACE SEES VICTORY
A. J. Wallace, Johnson's _ running
mate upon the republican ticket, spoke
briefly of " campaign ••\u25a0 issues, declaring
that the ticket would win >by a ma
jority 0f,. 30,000 in' the southland and
by even" a stronger vote- north of the
Tehachapi. He also discussed the Pan
ama-Pacific International exposition
project at length from the standpoint
that it would be the greatest boon the
entire state could secure.
Following Johnson's speech, Meyer
J.issner. chairman of the republican
state central, committee, was forced to
take the floor through the insistent de
mand of the diners. He, spoke briefly
of the manner In which the 'campaign
is going;. forward and V predicted an
overwhelming victory for Johnson and
the entire state ticket.' In his address
Johnson' said' in" part: '/',;<'
