The announcement from the pen
OF Senator Borah last week that he
would not be a candidate for re-elec-
ton as senator. and that he would
retire at the end OF his preset term,
created no little stir in political cir
cles throughout the state. as the an
nouncement came unexpected. and
the senator gave no reasons for his
withdrawal or what he has In view
for the future. Speculation among
politicians is rife however that the
senator intends locating In New York.
where he will follow his law practice,
and in this his Idaho friends see a
motive. During the presidential
campaign last year the senator's
name was frequently mentioned In
connection with the presidential nom
ination, but as he hailed from a far
western state, OF course he was not
seriously considered by the party at
large. There is no mistaking that
the senator has this bee buzzing in
his head and his locating In New
York would give him a prestige that
he would not enjoy In Idaho.
Aspirants for his position are al
ready in the field and ex-governor
Frank Gooding has stated that he
would soon make an announcement
as a candidate for this position. The
name OF Judge Ailshe has also been
brought forward as a candidate on
the republican ticket.
Among the democrats ex-governor
James II. Hawley has announced his
intention OF becoming a candidate
and as he probably is the most lead
ing democrat in the state entitled &c
this honor. it is not likely that he
will have any forminable opposition
in his own party ranks.
