TO SENATE

LIZ 0Al4NAAI
Boise, IdahO-Attorney Charles A.
Sunderhn of Burley, has launched
the Idaho League Of Borah Voters.
More than 1000 letters have been
sent broadcast over the state to pro-
minent men and Women-republican
progressives and many democrats
inviting them to join the Borah
league and actively participate in it's
organization. State, county and pre-
cinct organizations will be per-
fected. Organization work, it is sug-
gested, will be vigorously instituted
in every county of the state. County
campaign managers and captains will
be selected. Every citizen in the
state will be solicited to become a
member of the Borah league.
The letter from Attorney Sunder-
lin, in part, reads:
The inspiration (for the league)
is the faultless leadership of IdahO's
distinguished senator and interna-
tional statesman, and our belief that
the people of Idaho are desirous of
manifesting in some unusual way
their devotion to their great chieftain
who has so unswervingly represented
their greater interests and so far
sightedly pointed the way for ma
tional realization.
1--WE want you to join us at one
of the charter members of the Idaho
YOU will assume a position of inf1u-
ence in the leagues affairs. And
when our organization is complete,
we want as members all voters of the
state who favor the reelection of
William E. Borah to the United
States senate, or for that matter, his
election as president. We want all
voters to stand together who believe
in the principles of American gov
ernment represented by Mr.. Borah.
The necessities for the Borah
league should be obviously apparent
to all citizens of the state who believe
in American principles of government
and who have a reasonable apprecia
ton of the value of Senator Borah
to the state and nation.
Senator Borah is more than po-
Htical asset to the people of the state
of Idaho more than a political asset
to the republican party. His is a
personality that electrifies the nation
with the brilliancy of his statesman
ship, and his character is a tower Of
strength to vitalize the moral fiber
of our people. His grasp of political
problems is SO fundamental that his
leadership points the way for national
greatness-the preservation of con-
stitutional government, freedom from
foreign political alliances and vital
lied Americanism.'
