- WASHINGTON, May 14.-Sen-
etc" Borah will start out this week

His tour will answer the question
whether Borah will be Il third party
candidate il 1924.
1t will reveal, first, how far out
of agreement with the Harding ad

policies Borah is, and, second, how
the American people react tc
Borah's point of view as compared
with Harding's.
Borah will talk about the world

Mr.. Harding is preaching the doe
trine of strong party, re-establish'

Borah believes the people ought
to be untrammeled by party rigidity
that they should be permitted the
fullest possible expression of opin
ion and that if they want to change
their minds about their party affili
ations between one election and the
next, they should be allowed to dc
so.
Issues Paramount
He regards issues and great ques
tions involving principles as thous
and fold more important to the fu.
ture we'll being of the country than
the solidarity of any party.
After q short time in Idaho Borah
will invade the middle west and far

probably will speak in many of the
cities President Harding visits on

LAW MAKERS IN
ATTACK ON LAST
WEEKS DUTIES
Due to Adjourn on
Friday, Few Important
Measures

SACRAMENTO, May l4.-Start-
ing the closing week CT the fort
fifth session, members Of the Cali
fornia Legislature today vigorously
attacked the large number OF bills
facing them before the files are
cleared and their task is completed.
The week must be spent by each
house considering measures which
have originated in and been approv-
ed by the other body. The senate
will get busy on over 800 assembly
measures that await approval, while
the lower house members have 175
senate bills to debate and act on
during the week.
Friday at 5 p. N. is the time des-
ignated for final adjournment. 1T
is not believed probable that the
work will be done by then, however,
SO the legislative day will be length
ened by the simple expedient of
stopping the clock. Saturday and
perhaps part Of Sunday will be nee.
essary to complete final passage of
all the bills, It Is predicted.
Few State Wide Bills
There are few measures of partic-
ular state wide interest to come up
in either house during the week.
The Breed motor vehicle bills, the
Duval measure, increasing the state
tax on motor truck lines, and per-
haps one or two Others, constitute
the total of important bills.
Reapportionment, prohibition, cap
ital punishment, school bible study,
community property and most OF
the other big issues which faced
the legislature at the beginning of
the session have been settled one
way or the other.
