Idaho Senator Favored by Roosevelt,
| cummins and LaFoiIstts Forces.
] Chicago, June .l5.-United States
Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho is
picked as the best bet" for temporary
chairman OF the republican national
convention II the progressive forces
control on the temporary roll.
Impetus was given the Borah boom
when Governor Hadley, of Missouri. re-
ported as the tentative choice of Colonel
Roosevelt. urged Senator Dixon, the
colonel's campaign manager, to endorse
Borah to makethe fight against Sena-
tor Root.
Both Colonel Roosevelt and Senator
Dixon are said to look with favor on
Governor Hadley's suggestion and be-
fore the end Of the week the Idaho SEN
ator is expected to be put forward as
the candidate.
! AS between Senator Borah and sena-
tor Root, 1t is predicted by politicians.
the Cummins and LaFollette delegates
will support Borah. He is on friendly
terms with both the Wisconsin and
Iowa senators and has been allied with
| them in all fights for progressive legis-
lation.
| A keynote speech by Senator Borah,
the progressives assert. will be as pleas
ing to LaFollette and Cummins as to
Colonel Roosevelt. A speech by Gov
ernor Hadley would be equally ac-
ceptable, but the close bond of sym
pathy between the three progressive
senator's adds to the Borah strength, 1t
Is thought.
With the Roosevelt. LaFollette. and
Cummins followers behind Senator
Borah his election by the convention
would be practically assured. the sta
tisticians predict.

Colonel Lyon.
1--WE are ready but We decline to 60
on with the frst contest" said Null
vane.
I'VE don't recognize that contest
exists retorted Lyon.
Against the protest Of Committee
man Capers. of South Carolina, that
you can't run over US this way" the
committee voted to take up the vir-
sinia contest and to pass the Texas
contest temporarily.
The Remaining Contests.
The remaining contests include
those of Virginia, Washington. the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and the Fourth dis
trio of North Carolina. In the North
Carolina district both delegations are
Understood to be for Roosevelt.
In Virginia, the chief issue Is
whether or not the conventions elect
ing Taft delegates were held in dis
tricts or buildings from which ne
groes were excluded. The Washinft;.n
contests center about the control Of
the Washington state convention.
The contested delegates in Texas
number thirty, in Virginia twenty; in
Washington fourteen. In the District
of Columbia two, and in North Caro-
lima two.
How Il Was Done.
The national committee first took up
the contest involving the Texas deie-
gates-at-large. the Taft delegates ap-
pearing as contestants as opposed to
the Roosevelt eight headed by National
Committeeman Cecil Lyon. The vote
seating the contestants was viva voce
and substitute motion declaring the
Roosevelt delegates entitled to seats
was voted down IN the same manner.
Eighteen member-two less than the
required number-joined in a demand
for a roll call.
In the First and Second Texas dis
tricts. also decided in favor of the
Taft forces, the Roosevelt delegates
appeared as the contestants. The votes
on them were unanimous.
The Third district delegates were
given to Roosevelt by unanimous
vote.
The two Taft delegates from the
Fifth Texas district-Eugene Marshall
and Harry Beck-were seated by the
national committee without roll call.
The Roosevelt men voted mo" Sim
liar action in the other district con-
tests from Texas followed.

Los Angeles, June 15.-The prospect
Of sudden ending Of the trial Of Clar-

was renewed upon the convening Of the
trial today when the prosecution re-
ceded from the position taken yester-
day that It would not participate in an,

defense temporarily withdrew. from the
court room.
AS an aftermath of the connection OF
Olaf A. Tvietmoe and Anton Johann
sen. the San Francisco labor leaders
with the Darrow case and the admis-
sion of the story of how Mrs. William
Caplan was escorted out Of the state
by friends Of the Mcnamara defense
Earl Rogers, chief counsel for Clarence
Darrow, yesterday afternoon tried to
withdraw from the case.
Rogers, when court convened yester-
day afternoon. asked that Tvietmoe
and Johannsen be placed on the stand
Immediately In order to clear up a
point Of divergence between the attor-
ney and his client arising out of the
Caplan matter which came into evil
dence Thursday and which. according
to Rogers, involved the preservation of
DarroW's rights.
The requests aroused a storm Of pro-
test from the prosecution. Rogers ar
gued that unless evidence was ad-
mitted at once showing his part in the
Caplan matter while engaged in slear-
ing up the Times explosion conspiracy
it would be impossible for him to pro-
ceed and would jeopardize the interests
Of his clients.
He described his position as intoler-
able. and held that only the immediate
appearance on the stand Of the wit
nesses indicated would relieve his en-
barrassment and permit him to con-
tinue.
Judge Hutton granted permission to
the district attorney to cite authorities
In support Of his contention before
final ruling by the court.

RESTORE CRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage a
Simple Remedy for Dandruff,
Falling, Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in vogue.
Our grandmothers had dark, glossy hair
at seventy-fve, while our mothers are
gray before they are fifty. Our grand
mothers kept their hair soft and glossy
with Sage Tea, which also restored
the natural color.
One objection to using such a prepar-
alton was the trouble of making it
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical Company of New
York, who has placed on the market a
superior preparation of Sage, combined
with Sulphur and other valuable rene
dies for dandruf, itching scalp, ard
thin, weak, falling hair.
The beauty of the hair depends more
on its rich, even shading than anything
else. Don't have dry, harsh faded hair,
when q simple, harmless remedy will
bring back the color in a few DAYS: and
don't be tornented with dandruff, itch
ing scalp and loose, falling hairs.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy
will quickly correct these troubles, and
give color, strength and beauty to your
hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and prove this to
your own satisfaction. All druggists
sell it, under guarantee that the
money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented.
