Californias primary fallout signals Coolidge lead
California Republicans abandoned Hiram Johnson and favored Coolidge by a large margin, about 50,000 votes. Johnson bore the defeat bravely. In the Democratic primaries McAdoo won against an uninstructed slate. Indiana Republicans also backed Coolidge decisively, with Ed Jackson leading the gubernatorial race backed by the Ku Klux Klan. Democrats united behind Ralston. Carleton McCulloch led in the gubernatorial race. Coolidge has defeated Johnson in all direct primaries except South Dakota, prompting pundits to doubt his future as a presidential possibility. The White House weighs a platform for Cleveland, including world court linkage, Hague tribunal ties, and calls for international arms talks contingent on reparations. Senator Lodge has proposed a third Hague conference.
