PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.
(Indianapolis News.
Favorite son campaign in several
states have invited the attention of .
voters to the presidential primary.'
Four years ago President Coolidge
had little difficulty in carrying most
of the primary states in which his
name was entered, though he lost
North Dakota to Hiram Johnson by a
few votes, and Wisconsin’s Repub
licans expressed their preference for
La Follette. The primary results
played no part in the deliberations of
the Cleveland convention. For an
indication of the influence of the pri
mary convention, reference must be
made to 1920, when the race for the
nomination was a free-for-all. Hiram
Johnson entered the 1920 convention
a primary favorite with six States in
his lineup, Leonard Wood was second I
with five, and the others were distrib- 1
uted among favorite sons—Lowden,
from Illinois; Harding, from Ohio; i
Sutherland, front West Virginia.!
Hoover entered the primary in four
States, but carried none, and went
into a Republican convention with the
dubious support of more votes in the
Michigan Democratic primary than
either McAdoo or Bryan. The popu
lar primary vote for the contestants
for the nomination showed these
totals: Johnson, 1*41,228; Wood, 697,
513; 348,477; Hoover, 298,778; Hard
ing, 144,762; Sutherland, 61,461, and
Pershing, 45,640: The influence of
this vote on the convention was re
vealed on the first ballot, when Wood,
primary second choice, led with 287
votes to 133 for Johnson, first pri
mary choice. The final result, when
the nomination went to Harding, who
was entered in only two State pri
maries, running first in Ohio and
fourth in Indiana, completed the case
against the primary vote, in the pres
ent state of Presidential primary de
velopment, as a barometer of conven
tion sentiment.
