BORAH NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE
CABINET.

A Holland newspaper, the Vader-
land, enjoys the exclusive distinction
OF specializing on the appointment OF
Senator Borah to Mr.. Harding's cabi-
net. Republicans here in the Pacific
northwest, familiar with Senator Bor-
abs alliance with the nonpartizan
league, his failure to support Mr.
Gooding's hard-fought candidacy fol
the senate and his threatening tactics
toward Mr.. Harding during a critical
period of the campaign, will not Sec
ond the nomination from Holland
There are other senators on the Paci-
fic coast, however, whom the north
west would vigorously support for a
cabinet position.
Borah is for BOrah-first, last and
forever Through some secret influ-
ence, not yet clearly revealed, he Sc
cured the backing of the nonpartizan
league in his campaign for reelection
TO the senate in 191S-a deal that
estopped him from consistently oppos-
ing Nugent, the democratic and nom
partizan league candidate against Mr..
Gooding, even if he had had any incli-
nation in that direction, a most i'm
probable hypothesis. Through all the
trying days of the recent campaign,
when Idaho nonpartizan Ieaguers
were boasting that they would elect
Nugent and defeat Gooding, and when
republican national leaders were
frankly alarmed at the prospect of
the election of enough opposition SEN
ators to block Mr.. Harding's admins
tration, no supporting message came
from Borah to his political supporters
in idaho
As for Senator Borah's holdup
threats in the recent national cam
paign-his implied threats to do the
Bryan act''-and the difficulty of
Chairman Hays and the national com
mittee to hold him in line for the
party, Senator Harding undoubtedly
is sufficiently informed Mr.. Borah's
spoiled boy" behavior in the national
campaign ought to be sufficient It
would be party and public misfor-
.une to put him in a position to repeat
t as member of the cabinet-Spokes-

Importation Of 100000 bushels of
