IN WEST SAYS
BORAH
But Conditions May Change
After Candidates Tour
The Senator Adds
By ARTHUR STRUWE,
international News Service.

News serviee.)
CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-"The Pres
idential contest in the middle West
now lies between Calvin Coolidge
and Robert M. La Toilette"
Senator William E. Borah, Inde-
pendent leader, made this declara-
ton today in an exclusive inter-
view with international News
Service. Borah based his state
ment upon a first-hand survey of
political conditions throuhout The
agricultural West. He declined,
however, to predict the outcome in
November.
Changes May Come.
Borah indicated that John w.
Davis, the Democratic nominee. was
running a poor third. but ne ON.
phasized the fact that his views
were based upon present conditions.
He voiced the opinion thar the
pending speech-making tour OF
Davis through the corn and wheat
belts might materially increase Ills
strength and change the political
alignments.
This survey Of the Presidential
race west Of the Mississippi was the
first political interview given by
Borah since he fatty rejected the
Republican Vice Presidential nomi-
nation after 1t was rendered him by
leaders at the Cleveland convention.
AT that time, Borah declared, he
desired to remain in the Senate and
would confine his political activities
In the coming campaign to his own
race for reelection. 1.
AT the present time" said Borah,
the Presidential contest in the
Middle West, is between President
Coolidge and Senator La Toilette.
Both have strong following among
the voters.
Party lines now are not thor
oughly marked or the campaign
truly developed, so I do not pretend
to say what the situation VIII be In
thirty or forty days.
Sees Davis Handicapped.
"Mr. Davis is not yet very we'll.
known throughout the West. He
has started with this handicap and
it is noticeable in the present situa-
ton. He is now on his way west
and we will be able to tell more
about the ultimate result after he
has introduced himself to the people.
There may be changes later"
Borah declared the voters Of the
West were rather apathetic about
the presidential race at the present
time
1.-THE West has suffered from a
fearful drought and the people are
more concerned about their personal
fortunes" he explained. when the
present agricultural situation abates,
believe the people will take a real
interest in the race. l expect the
campaign to be very tense and
quite interesting from October /
up until election day."
Borah came to Chicago to or.
ganize the Senate's special cam
paign fund investigating committee,
Of which he Is chairman.
He had arranged session Of the
committee here with Senators Shin.
stead, farmer.labor, of Minnesota
and Bayard, Democrat, Of Delaware,
but there were no indications that
a hearing would be held.
Up until the present time, Borah
said, none of the three presidential
campaign committees has made any
progress in a financial way.
