Johnson, Hiram (1 of 2)
Manuscripts
Approx. 60 items: collection of news stories and editorials on political career of Hiram Johnson, who was involved in a decades-long feud with first H.G. Otis, later Harry Chandler. LAT reports and comments on Johnson were uniformly negative, or LAT ignored him. Notable items: 6 sheets torn from Historical Society of Southern California Quarterly (1950s?), "Hiram Johnson and World War I...a Progressive in transition" ; 3-pp. copied from Current Biography, 1941, entry for Hiram (Warren) Johnson ; LAT obit, 8/7/1945, "The death of Hiram Johnson," is not kind to the deceased but, as LAT put it, "it would be hypocritical to forget or retract..." ; letter copy, 8/19/1940, from LAT's Kyle Palmer to Sen. Hiram Johnson, on Palmer/LAT endorsement of Johnson for Senate, "an editorial which...I never thought [I would] either write or read."
