RUPTURE
\
Salt Lake Tribune: Ever since
the Republican National convention
Of June in Chicago, there have been
limitations that a direct persona,
rupture occurred between Senator
Borah of Idaho and Col. Roosevelt
during that convention. Senate:
Borah was a stalwart Roosevelt mar,
and as member of the National
Republican committee, was ons OF
the one.third minority who stood
wherever il was reasonably poss biz,
for Col Roosevelt's interests. But
Senator Borah, in common with 9th
ers of the Roosevelt members Of
that committee, refused to stand for
the flimsy and baseless contests In
Roosevelt's interest brought from the
Southern States. The committee
unanimously rejected the principal
part of the Roosevelt contests. This
appears to have given Roosevelt of.
tense; especially does It appear that
the action Of Senator Borah in the
Indiana case angered Roosevelt, for
even after all of Roosevelts friends
on the National committee voted
against the seating of the Roosevelt
delegates from Indiana, Roosevelt con-
tinued to denounce the act of the com.
m. ttee in that case as political brig
andage. absolutely indefensible in
Jaw or morals. This naturally would
nettle man of independence and
good Judgment like Senator Borah,
and other also of the Roosevelt men
on that committee, But no open
rupture occurred on that account.
