tagcous position sQuarcly in the front
of the enemSs goal.
After taking several rebuffs, the
idaho senator with the persistence

pounded away and has placed his
resolution In a favorable place on
the legislative program and 1t must
come up every day as unfinished busl-
ness,
The moment the Lorlmer case was
laid aside senotors Nelson ana Borah
