For Vice President.

CHICAGO, June 10.-Sentiment for
vice presidential candidate rapidly
crystalized early today with Senator
Borah Of Idaho and Charles Fair
banks of Indiana, the favorites.
The choice is largely geographical.
Borah is the light haired boy" of
both conventions. He is enthusiastic
cally liked by the progrcssives, but
at the same time has always refused
to leave the G. 0. P. ranks While
Borah for two days has refused to
yield to strong pressure urging him
to run, it is the belief of his friends
in both parties that If he received Il
whirlwind nomination, the convention
would accept him with bang before
he could protest. Fairbanks also has
sent out word that he would not ac-
cept the nomination for vice presi
dent, but this has not been taken as
final The choice of a candidate for
this Office promises to bring out the
customary number of names, but Fair
banks and Borah have the edge. |
There is a strong desire on the part
Of the delegates now to close up
shop and get home. This has been |
strengthened by the weatL
er, and the situation as whole NAV
result in quick action on the vice
presidency with the list of candidates !
somewhat curtailed.
Sherman Quit Next.

the allied ranks are expected soon |
after balloting is under way until /
the field is narrowed down to three |
or four men.
F,avorite sons row was not cherry |
