BORAH NOT A CANDIDATE
FOR PRESIDENT IN 1916
Does Not Want to be Hampered from Reorsanizng Re-
publican Party in the InteFest of the People and
Nation by Candidacy.

Senator Borah has given to the pub
lie in an open letter his well founded
reasons for not becoming a candidate
for the presidency in 1916, and shows
thereby that he is a far bigger, broad
er and better man than his enemies
have given him credit with being.
Nampa, Idaho, April 16.-E. H. Dew
ey Wednesday gave out the following
letter he had just received from SEN
ator Borah:
Washington, d. c., April 2.-E. II.
Dewey, Nampa, 1daho-My Dear Ed:
have just read in the Leader Herald,
received last evening, notice of the mass
meeting to be held at Caldwell soon, at
which meeting, the notice says, the
people of my state are to be asked to
initiate my candidacy for the presidency
in 1916. | am not informed by the no
tice who are back of the movement
but l suspect you may know something
about it. OF course, l could not be
otherwise than sincerely grateful to all
those who are generous enough to con
slider my name in connection with that
position. l trust none of my friends
will think me for moment ungrateful

regard to it. / do not know how "a
more generous manifestation of
friendship and confidence could be dis
closed than such voluntary action as
is indicated by this notice, coming from
those with whom ] have been associated
great portion of my life. | thank
them all, and / want you to see that
my thanks are made known to them
and my fun appreciation.
But will you not also have someone
say to the Leader Herald and to those
who are back of the movement that
/ sincerely hope they will not go fur
ther in the matter. Ask them to let
the matter drop and place the respon
sibility upon me for disseminating the
am not candidate for the
presidency and | do not expect to
be candidate and i do not want
to be put in the attitude of being a
candidate. The country at large
would believe this movement to be
instigated by myself, and | would
from this time on appear before
the country as a candidate.
No doubt my friends may have
thought this would be helpful to me
as a senator but L beg them to know
that it would handicap me both in my
service as a senator and in my great
desire to be helpful in making the re-
publican party that militant. aggressive
and progressive force for the general
good of this country that 1t was dur
ing the long years when IL served all
regardless of race, sex or condition,
and efficiently.

Importance of this feature of the situa-
ton. l woud rather thousand times
be Idaho's trusted, respected senator
and carry out as effectively as my abil-
ity will permit, the commission which
the people have given me than to pur-
sue the hope for even so high an Of

Again, ! have my views about the
reorganization and rehabilitation of the
republican party. / know some of our
conservative friends object to the use
of the words reorganization and rehabi-
itation, but these are the only words
that express the situation, nevertheless.
The millions of voters in this great
party are no different in purpose or
patriotism than their forebears.
They are in sympathy with our in
stitutions, they believe in our form of
government. they are committed to GER
tain great policies and they are willing
and anxious to do those things which
will give us clean, honest, efficient, pro-
sressive government But our party,
the same as in every other political
party, desirous at all times of turning

tain direction and of making whatever
party they are a member of, the slave
of particular principles and interests.
No Compromise.
So far as | am concerned / do not
propose to compromise with these fore
es The republican party will have to
free itself from them and under the
rules now adopted by the national com
mittee that is within the power of the
voters to accomplish.
Now, to take part in such con-
test as it is my purpose to do to
the end, while regarded as a candi-
date, is to render me practically
powerless for good.
| would not any more compromise
with those forces in my party than l
would with the man who has plunder-
I'd the people of this country out of
millions for the last twenty years, who
after glutting his financial nav and
after having wrenched from thousands
of poor children and burdened women,
the last cent possible in order to pay
dividends upon watered and fraudulent
stock then in the name OF progress sets
himself up as a reformer.
These forces are In politics. Any man
is a fool who does not know 1t, and a
knave who undertakes to conceal II.
And sincerely ] want no handicap in
trying to do for the republican party
what my purpose is to do for the next
three or four years. | can neither ask
nor give quarter with those who would
legalize monopoly and establish in this
country the old law of mortmain in an
other than In its ancient form. ] in
finitely prefer this kind of work un-
trammeied than being a candidate for
the presidency and l know that l can
be of more benefit to the general cause
and more certain of realization.

Tried to Make Good.

The jack OF all trades during all ages
has been the butt of the satirist The
following story illustrates the fatal pro-
pensity to cover too much ground at the
same time;
Little Willie's father presented him
upon one occasion with pet chameleon
-one Of those diplomatic little animals
that change their color as the occasion
may require. Willie was very much in
terested with his pet for several days
until one evening his father noticed that
he was sitting alone with far-away
look in his eyes.
"Well, Willie" said his father. what
did you do with the chameleon"
"He is gone, father-forever

THE CAILLAUX VERDICT.

LET us keep our anger for our en-
emies abroad" declared Mairte Labor
in pleading for the acquittal of the
French woman who was being tried for
the murder of Frenchman. Such a
statement should be accompanied by a
bill of particulars so that the possible
enemies abroad" would know what the
bombastic attorney was driving at. 1t
was a queer speech, and if interpreted
literally, would mean for French people
to overlook all their own shortcomings
and misdeeds and simply center their
attack on the shortcomings and misdeeds
of the rank outsiders. 1t was equal in
queerness to some of the statements now
and then heard from the lips of members
of the bar in courts of the United States.
And. too, it did not refute the generally
accepted understanding that the Call
laux woman shot and killed Calmette.
who had been an object of her particular
wrath for some time prior to the shoot
ing affair. There seems to have been
no attempt by the defense to contro-
vert that understanding but rather to
justify the shooting on the ground that
the woman had proyocation.

on the completion of an adequate and

possible. The structure which now
graces the site of the old Plainfeld no.

Pswtucket. r. l., who thus shows his
interest in his native town as well as
his faith in the business prospects Of
such an industry in a town OF the size

new hotel express surprise at the ample
and well-arranged accommodations in
the handsome building. II is indeed

In view of the fact that Burlington is
being flooded with worthless checks, it
will behoove the people in other COM
munities in Vermont to be somewhat
chary about accepting checks unless the
paper is known to be good, although it
is scarcely likely that the same individ-
uals would attempt similar game with
