Potential California Leaders . .
Here are two potential leaders for California.
Hiram Johnson was a Progressive Republican Governor of California from 1911-1917 and then served as Senator from 1917 until his death in 1945. He was a populist, (read Man of the People) but was also anti Japanese and worked for legislation to exclude Japanese immigrants from California. He was TR's VP candidate in his unsuccesful 1912 presidential campaign.
Herbert Hoover lived in Oregon and California and got a degree in mining engineering from Stanford. He worked as an executive for a mining company in China, and then served as director of Food Administration during WWI under Wilson, and headed US War Reilef efforts in Europe and then served as Commerce Secretary under Harding and Coolidge. Competent Technocrat maybe?
I have 2 pics of Johnson, 1 old, 1 young
