 It is still question as to whether the peace~makers will be able to patch things over-to induce Borah and John son to remain quiescent--or whether the great blow-off is certain to ensue' Some politicians are convinced that there will be no extensive, permanent rupture. Others are convinced that Borah and Johnson and all the Hearst newspapers will abandon, Harding be- cause he carries water on both should CTS; because he won't take a stand re- garding the league
 Senator Borah has added one word in way of explanation. T will always op- pose the league he said. T won't by any word or action, take such position that in the future, I will be comprom ised in my determination to fight the league. I will fight the league or any league, it matters not who sponsors it.
 Senator Sutherland of West Virginia, in Washington presently, said: Tt is as nothing. Borah will not speak un- der the national committee. But he will continue on the stump. And the party will greatly benefit thereby"
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska democrat, declined to comment on the Borah detection. "The friends of the league" he said, grow more numerous The west favors the league. The church people of the west support the league. On that account many repub- licans this year will vote the democra- tic ticket"
