BORAH is NOT
A CANDIDATE
Has no Designs on the Congress
iOnal Seat Now Held by
Button L. French

|, Hon. w f. Borah has written
letter TO the editor of the Weiser World
setting at rest all reports that he was
an aspirant for the congressional nomi-
nation at the hands of the republican
convention this year, His letter is as
follows:
Relative to the statement num-
Der of times made in northern papers
and of which you inquire, that l am
quietly a candidate for congress, you
can be assured that this is wholly in
correct. l am not a candidate for con-
gress. | do not wish my friends to
understand that l am even a "recep-
tive candidate" | can conceive of no
condition under which / would be a
candidate | believe this answers your
letter fully"
Mr. Borah was a prominent candi-
date for the senate two years ago and
will probably be heard from again
when the contest for the seat now
held by Senator Dubois comes on. His
friends have been over-zealous in his
interests it seems when they have
made him a proposed candidate for
congress at the coming election.

ARMED WITH
TORpEDOES
New American War Ships Will be
Provided With the Latest
Invention

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
WASHINGTON Feb. 23. The
United States is willing to profit by the
experience of Russia and submerged
torpedo tubes are to be placed in the
New Orleans Georgia, Ne.v Jersey and
Rhode Island. These tubes were pro -
rided for those ships in the original
designs and 1t has now been recon-
mended that a vessel be equipped with
two forward tubes.
Emphasis of the necessity of such type
of armament has been afforded by the
experience of the Russians at Che
mulpo and Port Arthur. much to the
satisfaction of the advocates of tor
pedo tubes, concerning which there has
been much discussion in our own serv-
ice in the last few months.
There has always been a question
whether the Russian disaster could
have been prevented by watchfulness
and due regard for the liability OF
such attack. Such protection as the
Russians possessed, however, awaited
nothing: for instance, the SZarevitct
was especially designed with one and
one-half inch bulkheads, instead of thu
average three Fights inch. as a protec
ton against torpedo attack, yet tina
vessel was torpedoed and beached.
