...Republican primaries, Hiram Johnson lost with one card, triumphed by a scant margin with another. His man, Judge Robert M. Clarke, was repulsed for the Senate nomination by Senator Samuel M. Shortridge (staunch Coolidgeite). Late score: 305,750 to 219,239. For the governorship, C. C. Young (Johnson man) led Governor Friend W. Richardson...
...Smith Wildman Brookhart, no Magnus ("Magnavox") Johnson. He soon was known for what he was-efficient, profoundly informed, hard-working legislator, Chairman of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, co-author of Esch-Cummins Transportation Act, later Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.

Every staunch supporter of the Administration-McKinley, Pepper, Stanfield, Cummins-who has come up for nomination this season has been defeated- four blows at Coolidge prestige. Furthermore it means that Iowa farmers, at least, are aroused because they have not had the kind of farm relief they want-and Congress is likely to judge all farmer sentiment by Iowa, so that the chances of the passage of a farm relief bill before Congress adjourns are greatly increased...
