BORAH GROWING IN FAVOR.

The Republicans of Maine will send
an instructed delegation to the ma
tional Republican convention at Chi
cago, though 1t is understood from a
careful canvass from all sections OF
the state that Hughes Is the first
choice, with Borah of Idaho second.
Four years the Maine delegation was
for Roosevelt, but that was before
the progressive party was organized.
The sentiment In favor OF Borah
for first choice OF the national conven-
tion is growing. the conviction fixing
itself in the minds OF many that Borah
is the man upon whom all sections OF
the country can settle. A great deal
depends as a matter of course on con-
ditions which may arise between now
and the date of the convention, but
from all present indications Borah
will go into the convention as the
strong man.-Idabo Falls Register.
