Start 'Borah
For President'
Movement
Washington, D. C. Sept. 22(Anto
i caster)?Senator William E. Borah's
i.;niie will coine before the Republican
National Convention next summei as
a candidate to succeed President
Hoover," judging by recent indications
The latest of these is the announce
ment that a "Borah-for-President"
club has been formed by a group of
j Virginians, the first of its kind in the
? impending campaign.
j Senator Borah was officially noti
I lied of the formation of the club, at
| his home in Boise, Idaho, and greet
I ed the news with a smiling counte
! nan.-e and the remark that "he was
i glad he had so many good friends in
Virginia". His reception of the news
was evidence that he is not unwilling
to be regarded as an opponent to Mr.
Hoover for the nomination. It is ex
acted that many more similar clubs
will be formed as a consequence of
his attitude. His main reply to the
notification was a plea for a live-year
naval holiday, which he indicated
would form the basis of his appeal
for votes if he gets out and campaigns
Borah feels that a naval holiday
program with all Us remifications
covering the World Court, opposition
to war and its more immediate finai?c<
ial savings, is a large enough plat-'
form on which to corral votes. It is
known that Borah has l>een soundod
out by some of the leading Progres
sives regarding his candidacy and
they assert he invariably has express
ed pleasure whenever the suggestion
has been made that he accept the I
nomination for President.
Thefe same Progressives are known j
bi-'^ppo^ed'f# Jrviving the thi?T|
party and want their standard bearer.
to oppose Mr. Hoover for the regu
lar Republican nomination. Borah is ^
too astute a politician to believe he
can wrest the nomination away from
the President and his office-holding,
cohorts, a feat that is almost impos
Kible, politically, in theUnited States.
Instead, they feel that if Borah can
center enough activity behind him he
can make a deal before the conven
tion meets by which his ideas can be
incorporated in the Republican plat
form and his ends achieved.
Many politicians here view Borah's
possible election as President in a
humorous vein. They say Borah is
only himself when he is opposing the
government. If he became the gov
ernment himself he would be a ship
without a rudder, they say. In this
connection, President Coolidge's re
puted remark is recalled anent Bo
rah's penchant for horseback exercise
Borah maintains a stable in Wash-;
ington and he knows every bridle
path in Rock Creek Park. Anyone
when Mr. Coolidge is said to have
learned about Borah's exercise he is
quoted as saying: "I don't see how
Borah can reconcile himself to going
in the same direction as the horse".^
Whether Bor.'h's candidacy wil! be
taken seriously by the Republican
National Committee is a quest'on. .Af-J
ter all, a candidate must have tliej
treasurer of the party with hiui and j
it is doubtful if the monied men of(
the country will support a niHii '*hOj
fcsis shown such radical tendencies in;
the past.
There seems to be little question
lut that additional taxation '.viii be
levied t?v the next Congress. Ivtan
witli the President firmly committed
against ?he national government's aid
ing its unemployed citiens with any
plan that parallels the British system
of doles, the government is goin^ to
find itself short by at least another
billion of dollars next year. Even by
paring down all expenses the gap
cannot be bridged, largely because
the incomes of the big taxpayers have
been cut into so deeply that payments
into the national treasury have been
heavily reduced.
To tax the farmer anay more would
be a political crime and result in al
ienating his vote. As a consequent,
Congress is faced with a hard , prob
lem in raising more money. It ap
pears certain that a system of luxury
taxes will be devised/' In addition
there is a growing feeling'that the
larger aggregations of capital will be

MAYOR SAYS SAVE WATER
Mayor Harry E. Buchanan says
that there is a serious water shortage,
due to the prolonged drought, and is
requesting the people of Svlva to con
serve the supply as much as is- pos
j sible. The mayor states that all leaks
, in the water mains, and intakes have
? been repaired,'and that every drop of
j water available is flowinf into the
| mains, and yet, the people on the
i higher elevations in the city are fre
jquently without water, except early
i in the mornings.
Mayor Buchanan requests the peo
ple who live at the lower elevations
to be considerate of their neighbors,
| arid refrain from using water for the
purposes of watering lawns, washing
! cars, or for any other purpose that
j is not absolutely necessary, and to
see that there are no leaks on their
premises.
