at Chicago aad spoks with exceeding
bitterness on the subject immediately
before the anal sessioa of the Bepubli

Beforw the session began Borah had

for Senator Johnson, Borah was arged
to releasf the delegates pledged te the
Californiaa, but refused point blank to
do so, although ths spokesmea for
General Wood and other candidates had
consented to release theirs.
They will hsvs to leave of their own

asked if Senator Harding eoald win,

Harding's BeaetJonary Record. .
Although the League of Natioas was
his .principal theme, Mr. Boose re It also
attacked thd labor , record of Senator
Harding, who, he -said, had bees asso
ciated -with "ths reactionary group la
the Senate that has opposed the eight-
hour law, child labor bill, workingmen's
sompensstioa net aad other prngressiTS

"with that of Governor Cox, thrice
sleeted ia s normally Bepublieaa state,
a mas who has sneeeeded is getting
through bills to aid the farmer, the
miner, the workingmaa in general and
th women and. children ia industry."
He again attacked Governor Morrow
for his reported statement that if the
United States joined the Lsagus it
would be forced by th League Council
to send oar boys overseas, "svery time
the King of foinm wanted to fight the
Emperor of Timbuktu and whoa China

is quoted as sayings 'My task is to so
