They begin the matches by first

Borah's Bushy Hair.

Senator Borah OF Idaho Is one of the
few big men Of the convention who
cannot be called picturesque, unless
his bushy hair entities him to that de-
scription. 1t Is said his only reason
for wearing 80 much hair Is to con-
ceal bad scar on the back Of his
head received IN an accident in his
youth.
Mr.. Borah, like Jonah X. Kalania-
naole, Hawaiian delegate. has a round,
chubby, Buster Brown type Of physi-
ognamy. His dignity, however, is
such that none would think Of calling
him "Cupid"-and that is the brown
skinned islanders nickname in con-
gress.
