PRESIDENT HARDING TO SPEAK in idaho
BELIEVES MOSCOW Will BE SELECTED

i Harding promised Senator William
E. Borah today that he would make
an address in Idaho during his west
ern speaking trip The city has not
been selected. The president is un-
derstood to have indicated that he
would stop over in Idaho on his re-
turn eastward after his visit to
Alaska The address would probably
/ be the first delivered after leaving
the Pacific coast.
1t is generally accepted in Mos
COW that the presidents decision to
deliver an address in Idaho, means
that he will accept the urgent invita-
ton of Moscow citizens, given
through various local organizations,
and deliver an address in this city
The fact that he goes east by a
northern route, visiting Spokane en-
route, eliminates the south Idaho
cities, it is believed. MOScows cen
trail location and the fact that it is
the home of Idaho's largest educa
tional institution, with hundreds of
students here from all parts of the
state, will, it is believed, result in
this city being selected
