for water at a dilapldated house where
a barefooted man, leaning against a
rickety fence, was gazing meditatiyely

SACRAMENTO, May 8. = The

Governor Richardson in his veto OF

get bill.
Failing to secure the two thirds
majority necessary to include the
additions over the executive veto,
the budget was adopted as returned
to the assembly, totalling $79,7o4,-
336.55.
Anti administration legislators
for the most part stood pat against
the governor in voting on the vetoed
amendments. Had majority vote
alone been necessary some 6f them
would have been adopted. The two
thirds ruling however, precluded
any changes in the document
against the executives veto.
Many Votes Necessary
Several different votes were nee
essary in approving the 40
vet0es made by the governor. The
assembly agreed to let one roll call
stand unless there were objections
but wavering assemblymen chang
ing their votes on the different
items forced the roll to be called
number of times. This heightened
consideration of the bill with its
final approval not due until late
today, it was believed.

Japan Won't Send

TOXIC, May S.-Japan will not

learned today, unless other nations
request her to do so.
The japanese government has as,
certained that no japanese citizens
were among those kidnapped and
considers that it could not properly
take any military action without
formal request being made.
Japan officially still maintains
the attitude that she is hoping
against hope that China herself will
restore order, but is afraid that con
ditions will gradually become worse
and may force some form OF for
cign action. -.h..

POWERFUL THIRD
PARTY LOOMS AS
FACTOR In 1924
Senator BOrah Predicts
Progressives Will
Split Party
By LAWRENCE MARTIN
United Press staff COrress'OC den I

WASHINGTON, May 8.-A pow
erful third party will be in the field
in 1924, fighting the two old parties
on the international and other IS
sues. Senator Bcrah Of Idaho may
be the presidential candidate of this
new party.
Within the next year progressives
should "bide their time and work y,
devoting themselves to bring about
close unity in their own ranks.
This would be an inOpportnnc mo-
ment to endanger success of the
progressive movement by threaten
ing it with internal squabble over
who the banner bearer is to be.
The above paragraph represents
the opinion and the considered
Judgment of Senator Borah on the
progressive outlook. 1t embodles
the reply he will make to the call
of the committee of 4S that he
take his proper place as head Of
the progressive movement in Amer
ica' by becoming the forty-eight-
ers' candidate for president.
Change Recently
4. His close touch with the political
situation throughout the country
has convinced Borah that within the
last four weeks a tremendous i'm
petus has been given popular de-
mand for II third party.
This is very largely due, in his
opinion, to the way both the old
parties, have been handling the in
ternational issue-the republicans
advocating the world court and
some of the democrats trying to re
vive the league of nations.
Won't Consent to Run
The whole question, Borah will
tel the forty Fighters, must be con-
sidered apart from any mans po-
litical ambitions or fortunes if the
progressive movement is to continue
its present growth instead of suffer
ing II serious setback.
For that reason he will advise the
fortyeighters he cannot now con-
sent to an announcement that he
will be a presidential candidate in
1924.
Borah believes the third party
movement that succeeds will come
from the people, not from any
group of leaders, though it will OBJ
viously have to have powerful
leader as its standard bearer.

PHOENIX, Ariz., May S.-Gover-
nor Hunt of Arizona called 81 repre-
sentative Arizonians from all walks
and parties into executive session
today to discuss the attitude of the
state legislature in refusing to rati-
fv the Colorado river compact.
Arizona is the only one of the
seven basin states that has refused
to report favorahly on the project,
"The state of Arizona can no
longer maintain neutral attitude
toward the pact said the governor
at the opening Of the meeting. I'VE
must take Il stand one way or an
other on the matter and my object
in calling yotl together today is to
secure IL free frank discussion of the
pact in-exacutive session in an eff
fort to work out some definite con
structive program looking to the
early development of the Color
ado.
Cautious Attitude
The governor described his atti-
tude toward the legislature as lone
of caution.' He said the legislature
had failed to act, therefore it was
up to those present to work out
some plan Of action. Hunt denied
he was opposed to the pact and de
clared he was sure some construc-
tive ideas would evolve from the
session.
Charles Roberts, one of the con
ferees, is hopeful of putting across
the project by $50,00O,00O state
bond issue. A similar proposition
was turned down by the last legis
lature.
Among those at the session today
were Representative Carl Hayden,

head L. S. reclamation association; !;

handle the entire project by itself.
