SENATOR VIM. E. BORAH
Says about the
GREAT ISSUES OF THIS
CAMPAIGN
at Idaho Falls, Oct. Z, 1924

government, must be ignorant OF tn
inevitable trend of political affairs
Even the Savior could not choos
twelve men, all of whom could stan'
against corruption, and 1t must b.
apparent to all that there must in
evitably follow in the great game O.
politics, that there will be individual
betrayers and there will be those who
use each party for sinister or selfish
purposes.
I'm 1912, one in whose leadership
1 had great confidence, one for whom
| had almost unbounded admiration
and whose friendship l enjoyed, left
the party-sought to organize third
party. | declined to follow him. /
thought it would prove mistake and
that WE COULD ACCOMPLISH FAR
MORE FOR LIBERAL PRINCIPLES
BY REMAINING WITHIN THE
PARTY.
.sNow. another man, whose friend
ship I have also enjoyed, and Tor
whose sincerity of purpose, ability
and honesty | have the greatest al
miration, heads third party.
ENTERTAIN NO DOUBT AS ~
WHERE I CAN BE OF THE MOST
SERVICE IF l AM TO REMAIN IN
PUBLIC LIFE. I propose to fight
for clean economic government, Tor
progressive principles inside the
party. 1 BELIEVE 1 CAN BE OF
VASTLY GREATER SERVICE TO
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE IF
I AM TO SERVE THEM AT ALL?
BY REMAINING IN THE PARTY.
Republicanism, as 1 understand 1t, is
clean government, 1t Is economic gov
eminent, 1t is progressive govern
ment-no greater progressive ever
lived than Abraham Lincoln. Tho
great work of Colonel Roosevelt for
principles was as the ]
leader of his party. Republican, is n
government free from monopolistic
control and equally free from denim
alton and political entanglements
abroad.
Now, what are the great Issues
If this campaign? II l were going
@ denominate the most vital issues
II this campaign from the domestic D
standpoint, I would say that 1t Is
his tendency to waste and e1traga-
,ance in government which Is i'm T,
'eriling hundreds and thousands OF :,
ONES throughout the United States 81
nd even undermining and democrat h.
ling the institutions under which we
ve / will have to present to you
ONE facts and figures upon that be-
ause to my way OF thinking this
natter of extravaganza and waste in
from the very precincts p
l your county to the capital at a.
has become national u
isease. ~
"You may talk about relief legis- VI
Ltion upon the subject of agricul-
ire, about relief legislation here and ye
,lief legislation there, but underly- y. pe
* all of this is the question whether w
Q are going to stop this disposition IN
l the part OF government to exploit III
10 taxpayers and collect from them
illions Of dollars for which there is "
, justification.
NOW how are we going along?
ell, my friends. we had test up
/ this question last winter Some ~,
US have been harping on this ques- -
on for very long time, but we had
1t been able to get much of hear

n Coolidge was made president un
he announced that so far as the
Hiding of bureaus was concerned Ut
S opinion was that 1t should cease.
, my mind 1t made on Of the great sp
sues of the twentieth century. 1t
esented a problem In government
at no other president, AND DO re'
)T WISH TO SPEAK DISPARING-
OF THE GREAT MEN WHO 81
AVE GONE BEFORE? BUT 81
HIGH NO OTHER PRESIDENT ne.

I'd STAND UPON. uH
He vetoed bill after bill-popular IoI
which might have drawn MY
him hundreds of thousands of mo
tes-bills which as mere poll Tue
ian he would have signed. He 'ir'
-oed them because he proposed to u9i
nd between the people of this IL
lntry and those who were attempt
!, to make unjust nd unnecessary w.
hands upon the people. Whatever
1 may do in this campaign, you
mot take that issue away from
win Coolidge. Those who are in
4shington, whether they be Demo-
is, Republicans or Progressives,
ow how he stood on that issue and Oct
my opinion the fact that Mr.. Cool Is
g refused to sign bill which he the
sidered was unjust and unneces- NO
y even, will always greatly redown
his credit and l believe he would me

ust and unnecessary even II it de- cite
