hall on Idaho street between Seventh
and Eighth, when the friends Of Scna-
tor William e. Borah gather to organ
lie a Borah club, starting statewide
movement that will result In the per-
lection Of similar clubs In every
county in the state backed by precinct
organization. While the reelection or
Senator Borah is apparently assured,
his friends are determined that every
effort shall be made to settl he issue
definitely and finally. At this meeting
the Borah membership rolls that have
been in circulation in this county for
the past week will be turned in show
ing a membership in Ada county Of
several thousand electors Those who
have not signed will be given an OPP
portunity to do so at the rally.
The ease with which signatures have
been secured from electors pledging
their support to Senator Borah at the
polls next November when they will
cast their ballots for candidates for

Would Be Disgrace to State.
1t is and has been conceded that fail
ure on the part of the electors Of the
state of Idaho to vote to return Sena-
tor Borah to the United States senate
for another term would be a state dis
grace and by many would be viewed in
the nature of calamity. That his enc
mics have been at work in order to
crafty their own political and selfish
desires, believing in tearing down a
leader in the United States senate,
rather than show through their atti
tude that they appreciate the excel
lent record he has made during the
five and one half years he has been a
member of that body, is a well known
and established fact Fighting under
cover and from the political ambush
they are charged with centcring their
fire on Senator Borah in a vain and
useless attempt to prevent his re-clec-
ton and so far have, 1t is alleged. mis-
erably failed. In order that in the flu
ture there shall be no suspicion Of un-
certainty as to Senator Borahs re-
election. the Borah club movement has
been started and is given impetus
through the voice of the electors at
large who are not only insisting but
demanding that he be returned to the
United States senate

to Idaho's junior senator for the record
he has made and the benefits he has
given not only to the state of Idaho but
