The cool splash of water attracted me. Above, I beheld beautiful maiden Bending in bold relief against tiled

" a fact which we have always harpai

identical with that OF Alaska is not say
M that it suits the islands here, and
again we are constrained to feel that the

Senator Borah OF Idaho announced
at the White House today after a

nomination.

within their power to prevent his
name being placed in nomina ton, and
in the event it is presented to have it
withdrawn Immediately.
1t was explained by Senator Borah
that he does not want the nomination
and that he feels that he would be of
greater service to all concerned by
staying in the Senate, where he could
vote and could voice his opinions on
pending legislation, than as the pre-
siding ofhcer Of the Senate. While he
observed that being Vice President
would not prevent him from making

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

CONVENTION HALL, CLEVELAND
Ohio. June 12.--Calvin Coolidge zoe.
to the country on the twin issues OF
his personal character and Republi-
can regularity. Convention events OF
lines on which the battle OF 1924 vii
be fought. The frenzied enthusiasm
mounting almost to ferocity, with
which the La Toilette onslaught
against the majority platform report
was rolled back was the real index
Of the conventions spirit.
1t was the spirit of old-time stall
wart Republicanism--reac Re.
publi>anism. it's foes are bound tc
call it-insisting that uncompromis-
ing loyalty to party principles must
be yielded by every man and woman
who considers himself or herself a
Republican. The convention chcerec
itself hoarse at every suggestion OF
that kind.
1t expects Calvin Coolidge to preach
that doctrine virtually to the exclu-
platitudes. which comprise the ma
tional platform. 1t believes that al
least the full Republican vote of the
nation can be mobillzed under tnat
banner.
Burton's Keen Analysis.
II the repulse Of the La Toilette
insurgents hoisted high the tag oi
Republican regularity. the nominal
ing speech of Marion Leroy Burton
elevated to even greater attitudes the
personality of Calvin Coolidge as a
campaign issue. Speeches placing
men in nomination for the pres1denc!
are traditionally personal and in
dividual- They are expected to be
superlatively eulogiNic. But there
has seldom, il ever, been a nominal
ing speech which was so penetrating
an analysis of character as Burton

exclaimed the eloquent universit.
executive at the outset Of his address
Then he proceeded to presen not only
Coolidge the man, but even Coolidge
attempt TO place character even above
capacity as the prime requisite which
the people Of the United States look
for in their President.
Cleveland has now shown IN a thou :
sand ways that Coolidge will fight
the 1924 campaign boldly on his ad-
ministrative record with Congress.
He will lay less stress on the imme-
diate Issues involved-bonuS, taxa
ton. immigration and the World
Court-and emphasize the failures OF
a so called Republican Congress to
support a Republican President in the
execution of his major policies.
Stronger Than Congress.
The President plainly calculates
that he is stronger with the people
than Congress is. He is ready for a
trial of strength on that score. He is
prepared to show that if he had had
organization support on Capitol Hill
in Washington. national needs would
have been more speedily and more ef-
fectively met. He will not shrink
from asking condemnation and an
utilization of the La Follettes and
the Brookharts, who, by wrecking
party unity, made party achievement
impossible. In effect, Coolidge will
invite Republican irregulars to quit
in G. o. P. raiment and
permit real Republicans' to legis-
late and rule in the party's name.

District officials have been calling at
tention to the need for a second con-
duit. not only to take care of the
growth of the city, but to relieve the
necessity of depending solely upon
one supply line.
Debated In Congress.
Only a week ago the Senate and
House were celebrating over how
much they should appropriate for
continuing work on the new conduit
during the next twelve months. The
House allowed only $500, 900, while
the Senate voted for $500, 600. When
the bill went to conference the con-
ferees compromised on $4,000
which was about twice what the
House had allowed, but a million less
than the Senate was willing to give.
With the sudden growth in popula-
ton during and after the war. the
daily consumption of water has in
years the repair work on the con
duit has been difficult to carry on be-
cause of the heavy use of water.
Officials familiar with the water
system. however, say that break in
the conduit is not nearly so serious
be a similar accident in the Lydecker
tunnel
This latter tunnel also has had to
remain in service with practically no
repair work because of the increased
consumption of water and the fact
that it carries the supply to the FL
tration plant
1t was pointed out today that the
work of mending the conduit is rem
dered easy by the fact that the water
is not under pressure in coming from
Great Falls, but flows by gravity.
More Help Promised.
When the new water supply prof.
ect is completed the city will not
have to rely entirely on the existing
filtration plant at 1st street. since the
plan calls for a supplemental filtra-
tion plant near the Dalecarlia reser-
voir of the District line in the north
west.
1t is the opinion of persons familiar
with the water system that the old
conduit has held up remarkably we'll
considering its years of steady use.
When plans for the old supply line
the population Of Washington and
Georgetown was not much more than
$4,000 Inhabitants. Today, the popr-
lation is close to the 100000 mark.
giving some idea of the extent to
which the engineers look ed ahead in
planning the water system.
For number of years past, how
ever. the city has been consuming
close to the daily safe capacity Of the
conduit. and efforts have been made
both by officials and local organiza-
tions to have Congress speed up ap-
preparations for completion of the
new project.
when they heard of the accident
today. Joseph Hook. president of the
Arundel Construction Company, the
firm building the new conduit and
his chief engineer. Joseph Hogan,
rushed here Immediately from Phfla-
delphia to meet any emergency that
may arise.

while he did not wish to alarm

one to conserve tho city's water
