Borah's Nomination Possible.
II plan to attend the national Re
publican convention in Chicago as a
spectator nd especially to be one of
those who will bring to the attention of
the convention the ACCESSIBILITY and
fitness of Senator Borah for the pres
idency. No candidate will, in my opin-
ion receive more than 100 or 200 votes
on the first ballot and when the break
comes and the convention gets right
down to elimination and selection Sen
ator Borah is going to stand a mighty
good show, unless the geography Of the
case makes his nomination impossible
Were he from an eastern or middle
western state we could figure quite
confidently on his nomination and II

Ex- Congressman Burton l.. French
of Moscow, who is now in Boise and
has announced his candidacy for con-
gresham subject to the will of the
voters at the Republican primaries,
made a statement yesterday in which
he declared that the nomination OF
United States Senator William E.
Borah Is not at all an improbabllity by
the Republican national convention
after it reaches the elimination stage,
and declared for conservative prepar-
edness both in the army and navy but
against the pork and fat" bills that
are constantly creeping into congress.
He also outlined his views, briefly,
with regard to the necessity of bud

expressed surprise over the rapid de-
velopment he has just witnessed in
southern Idaho.
When interviewed Mr. French said
Il am on my way home from the
Twin Falls convention and a short trip
TO various points in south Idaho. am
delighted beyond measure because of
the steady progress that is going on
everywhere and I think that the great
est surprises of our state are for those
of us who came here in the days of
stage coaches and pioneer wagons and
have watched development since.
Country Rapidly Developing.
THE newcomers simply take things
for granted and seems to feel that they
have always been as they are now. The
rest of us know better and realize the
hard knocks and sacrifices we have
been through to build up our state. Just
few years ago ! was In Bull when a
few men were preaching diversified
farming and the building up of the
dairy business The other day ! was al
Gustaye Kunze's cheese factory and
farm and saw the plant by which he
produces one-half ton of cheese a day
his herd of some 125 cattle, modern
barns and silos. was told that the de-
mand for cheese was SO great that he
could not get ahead more than the pro-
duct of about four days at any time.
