BORAH TO JOIN M00SERS
Holds Long Conference with
Head of Progressive Ticket
Large Crowds Turn Out
in Idaho to Hear Colonel.

From a STAFF Correspondent Of The IrlDuhe)
Boise. Idaho. Sept l2.-Trailed by Re
publican orators. whose arguments ne de-
nounccd as unworthy Of belief, the Bul!
Moose candidate reached Boise tonight,
and q long conference between the
colonel and Senator Borah gave rise 10
authentic reports that the Idaho Senator
who is now on the fence, is preparing 70
announce in favor Of the rational Pro-
gressive party policies.
Senator Borah introduced the colonel 10
his Boise audience and said significantly
While we were not successful in CHI
cago, il would be uncandid in me 10 say
that because we were unsuccessful /
ceased 10 admire and respect Theodore
Roosevelt"
A statement from the Senator as TO his
position is expected soon, and it is gen.
orally understood that he will follow the
example Of Senator Cummins. OF Iowa
by declaring in favor of the national third
party ticket. at the same time preserving
his regularity on state Issues.
IL is expected. however, that the Sen
ator's statement will go so far only as 10
inJorse the principles Of the Progressive
party. and for time Senator Borah
probably will not announce positively in
favor OF any Presidential candidate the
attitude Of the Idaho neutrality-suspicious.
and Progressives-on such a stand re-
mains TO be seen
Senator Borahs position has been
delicate one. He was Roosevelt lieu
tenant at the Republican convention. and
st heart was in sympathy with Roose-
velt's ambitions Desiring his reelection,
however, the insurgent Senator has been
between the deep blue sea and something
equally as bad. and he hesitated TO go
along when the third party was born.
Senator Borah Is understood now TO
have things fairly we'll Strengthened out.
and he hopes the Idaho voters will stand
for the Cummins plan, which would per-
NIT Senator BoTah to support the Roose-
Welt electors in November without desert
Ing the household of Republicanism on
state matters.
With Borah's Endorsement in prospect
tile Bull Moose below in Idaho assumed
a more vibrant ring tonight and the

Harlan Denounees Colonel.

on arriving In La Grange. Ore. to-day
the colonel learned that John Maynard
Harlan, son of the late Associate Justice,
and ex-Representative J. Adam Bede, of
Minnesota, would speak there tonight
scheduled to say the following, regarding
the Bull Moose leader:
Even here in the pure air Of the great
Northwest. which invites truth telling,
Mr. Roosevelt has dared to reiterate that
monstrous falsehood that President TAFT,
as the nominee of the Republican party
for reelection. Is the receiver of stolen
goods Mr. Roosevelt knows that this
charge is not true, but il serves his pur-
pose Of vilitication, and so he repeats IL
oyer and over again 20 any audience that
VIII listen TO HIS words. Yet this Is the
same Roosevelt who cOuntenanced, If ne
did not lnstigate, at least l6t sham con-
rests for delegate seats in the Chicago
Observation-Disclosures contests, which he
and his lieutenants later admitted had no
merit. Not only did they admit that
hose contests had no merit. but even
fore the Republican National Committee
they were forced TO concede that they
had made those contests only for effect,
10 deceive the public into believing that
President Taft's delegate strength was
smaller than It really was.
The colonel made long distance answer
81 Boise tonight. when. without mention
ing names. he said regarding statements
Of this kind made by Taft supporters:
Any man WHO thus misstates the truth
about the Chicago convention may be eX-
peoted 10 nisstate the truth about other
things, and Is not worthy OF belief.
Will Not Answer Critics in Future.
The colonel announced he would decline
hereafter to make answer TO his critics
who may trail him. but he asked the
audience at La Grande TO remember that
most OF the orators who are being sent
out by our opponents are men who have
been beaten in the primaries In their own
states and are men without honor I'm
their own country, who have been sent to
oregon and elsewhere to speak against
me-"
The Bull Moose spoke at the county
fair grounds at La Grande and was
heard by a carnival crowd of Ave thou
sand, which was only mildly enthusiastic.
A Socialist interrupted the coloners
speech by shouting. "Hurrah for Debs."
at the rate OF about ten shouts minute.
Put him outv" the crowd yelled.
Let him stay; he needs missionary
work" the colonel said.
But the intruder was elected, amid
great excitement while a moving picture
machine worked overtime.
Curious crowds surged about the Roose-
welt train at all way stations between
Portland and Boise. and the coloners car,
passing through the apple country, was
loaded with fruit.

Alfred Kopetz. an electrician, OF No
116 West 1+4th street. filed complaint
In the Supreme Court yesterday asking
that his marriage to Margaret kopetz be
annulled. His wife is now confied in the
Middletown Insane Asylum.
Kopetz says they were married on June
q. NOS. and that his wife fraudulently
persuaded him TO marry her by making
him believe that his former fancee. Frieda
krarnpf, had broken her engagement with
him. One Of the grounds in the COM
plant is fraud and deceit. and the other
is that his wife at the time of her mar
rage was incapable OF entering into a
marriage contract.

TN The automobile which was 10

stare. with Miss Annie Tinker at the
wheel and Miss Inez Milholland In IL
waiting to deliver her speech and snow
that audience what a suffrage street
meeting was like in case they hadnt
seen one--well. that automobile JUST
stood tamely In the middle OF the stage
when the curtain rose. The bureau
OF Combustibles had heartlessly with
drawn the pint OF gasoleDe which II
once said Miss Tinker could have ana
which she thought would be just
enough TO bring the automobile on to
the stage.
For the reason OF fire risks, also. tnat
heavy confetti the suffragists nave
been throwing about-slips OF paper
with arguments for equal franchise on
them-was barred. And the fire risk
was really the only reason. There
wasn't, It was said, any anti plot; the
underwriters didn't have anti wives
or anything Of that sort.
The rising curtain also discovered
the mob" the union has been adver-
Using, grouped around Miss Milholland
and her automobile. II was a beau
tiful mob--too beautiful to be real.
Anything so ladyiike and elegant in the
way Of mobs has surely never been
seen on the stage before.
Never So tanblike.
And il was the politest Of street
meetings. Miss Milholland asked the
pretty ladies' in their immaculate pur-
pie and green costumes II they would
come a little closer and listen to talk
on suffrage which she wished TO give,
and they did as she requested Not a
potato was thrown, not jeer vas
heard.
A few anti questions were tossed into
the ring by woman who played the
ungrateful part Of enemy to the cause,
but she did it most courteously.
Toward the end Of Miss Milholland's
twenty minutes a man in the audience
the vaudeville audience in the body
of the theatre spanked up and asked
a question. II was:
Have the suffragists political train
ing?"
Miss Milholland's reply was prompt.
"Of course they haven't" she said.
How do men get political training?
BY having the ballot and exercising II;
by taking part in politics. Women
must get II In the same way"
Arthur Levy, of Hammerstein's, who
has sat up nights attending TO the SUI
frage week, said yesterday that from
the artistic point Of view he VAS per-
fectly satisfied with the acts the suf-
fraglsts had furnished, but financially
the experiment was disappointment.

As result Of the successive repudia-
