thing to strengthen the authority of

you to assume control in regard to the

advisable) and the timekeeper.
Il also ask you to alter any condi-

Borah Pledges to
Support johnson
For the Presidency
Idaho Senator Flatly Says
He Is Not a Candidate;
Kenyon and Norris Also
Are for California Man
Nev York Tribune

" 1SUFHyCoU DHT%e~
WASHINGTON, June 10-The Sena-
tor Johnson Presidential boom received
considerable imitation to-day, when one
of his chief rivals in the Progressive
camp, William E. Borah. of Idaho, de-
clared flatfootedly he was FOR johnson
for President, first, last and all the
time.
Senator Borah is joined in this senti-
ment, it is declared, by Senators Ken
yon, of Iowa, and Norris, of Nebraska,
thus rather committing the Middle
West Progressive element to the Pacific
Coast man.
What created the most surprise in
political circles was that Mr.. Borah
should be willing at this time to make
such statement Mr.. Borah has been
regarded-ever since 1912--as one of
the men who at any time might win the
Republican nomination.
To-day's action is regarded by poll
ticians as an unusual thing in politics
for man to concede away ahead of
time that he himself has no chance, and
that he will throw his support to some
one else.
Those who are talking johnson for
President said to-day that, while no or
ganization had been worked out, there
has been much work done in the last
few weeks.
II am for Johnson" said Senator
Borah. eff those who think as do can
obtain the Republican nomination for
him, we shall be very much pleased.
am strong in personal agreement with
almost every plank which Mr. johnson
could take for his platform. I am for
him as against the league of nations,
for him as against entangling alliances,
for him for the immediate return of all
American troops from abroad, espe-
cially from Russia; for him on the
complete restoration of free speech and
a return to constitutional government
once more, and for him generally on
his ideas about social and economic
justice. I hope he will be nominated
and elected.'

the meeting developed in the fifth race
when George W. Lofts Daydue was
beaten over the mile route by Edward
M. Wald's Carpet Sweeper. The 3-year-
I old Loft colt was considered 20 be ;ust
about the surest odds-on favorite that
had gone to the post this year, but The
3-year old tilly, once she got him in
the stretch, made Daydue look like
fat man with a heavy trunk on his
back.
The very presence of Daydue limited
the field to three starters. W. r. Coe
scratched his imported fllies, Athlone
and Herodias, while the Woodstock
| Farm declined to send out the imported
The Portuguese, a 4-year-old geld;ng
that was asked to give Daydue FIVE
pounds over the heavy journey So, in
the limited field, nothing but Daydue
was given a passing tumble by the
supposedly smart set.
Odds on Daydue Shorten
Daydue was hammered from 4 to
down to l to 2. Carpet Sweeper went
begging from to to to and jim
Fltzsimmonss Leading Star, the other
starter, from to l to 10 to l. Carpet
Sweeper had been beaten by Sweep
nhent last time out And didn't Make
Hirsch say Daydue could carry the
Woolworth Building and beat Sweep
ment any time, anywhere, any dis
tance?
Looked for a time as if Day.lue
might respond to the general prayers
that accompanied him to the home
turn. He was gallopirg out in front
until after he had turned we'll into
the stretch. Then Callahan, who lad
the mount Of Carpet Sweeper and who
has proved times without number that
ne is entitled to tender respect in the
present generation of jockeys, decided
1t was time to see just how good this
Daydue happened to be.
Callahan came away then with
great rush, caught Daydue about the
final eighth and soon raced MIN into
submission and drew away to a lead
of two good lengths at the end 1t
may be said now for Daydue shat he
showed himself yesterday very ord-
nary horse.
The Plattsdale Handicap, with $500
added, the advertised feature, proved
just another such flivver. Callahan had
the mount on QUESTIONABLE, the favor
ite, but he couldn't make the choice run
as it was expected the colt would Cues
tionnaire was fat as q seal, and Just
had to quit when the pinch came in the
stretch, though it is true QUESTIONABLE
suffered some interference through the
bend.
Outsider Finishes Fast
1t looked for a time as if Lofts
Rodgers, an outsider, would get the
brackets, He had all the early speeo
and showed the way to the final fur
long. Wilfrid Viau's Camofeur here
got up to the leader. 1t was a pretty
race through the final furlong The
pair raced stride for stride and nose
for nose practically all of the way, but
Erickson outrode Pierce through the
hnal sixteenth, and Rodgers was
beaten by snout.

JAPAN TO BARE
SHANTUNG PLAN
Washington Gets Promise and
Toxic May Set Date for
Restoration.
PRESSURE FORCED MOVE
Official Declaration Likely to
Have Effect on Senate
Vote on Treaty.
PRESSURE FORCED MOVE
By the Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. -Japans in
tentions on the Chinese province OF
shantung, where she gained control by
the Versailles treaty. are to be set
forth soon in formal declaration
from the Toxic Government, accord
ing 20 information received to-day in
official circles here.
Although the exact nature of the
declaration was not forecast, It was
assumed 1t would follow the lines Of
the repeated statements OF Japanese
statesmen that the province eventu-
ally Is to be returned to China. In
some quarters it was believed Japan
might even set date for the restora-
ton and acknowledge. publicly the Sc
cret understanding she is said to have
with China on that subject.
The reported declaration OF the Jap
anese Government to make known its
purposes is believed to be the outgrowth
OF informal diplomatic conversations be-
tween Washington and Toxic rejecting
the American Governments desire that
all the facts in the case be given to the
public. President Wilson has told many
Senators that a complete exposure OF
the case would throw a new light on
the Shantung provisions. which has been
one of the points OF attack In Senate
opposition to the treaty's ratification.
Although II had been known for sew
eral days that a development was I'M
minent, there had been much specula-
tor in Senatorial and diplomatic cir
cles whether the japanese Government
would speak on the subject or would re-
main silent and permit the disclosure
Of Jar/n's promises regarding Shantung
to come from Mr. Wilson. Tonight
conjecture had shifted to the questions
whether the Japanese declaration would
be considered by the President as fully
disclosing the situation and what effect
Il would have on the prospect OF ratifi-
cation of the treaty.
News OF the expected development re-
garding Shantung reached the Capito
after the Foreign Relations COMMITTEES
had opened the way TO other important
disclosures by asking Secretary Lansing
to come before II Wednesday to discus:
features of the treaty. 1t Is expected
that the sessions will be public. and thai
some of the committee members will
want the Secretary to tell much Of thu
inside story of how the treaty, with III
League OF Nations covenant, was drawr
up at Versailles.
