B0RAH APPEARS
AS NEMESIS FOR
COOLIDGE TERM
Idaho Senator Leader of
Liberal Faction in
Congress
By DALE VAN EVERY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)

WASHINGTON, Mar. IL The
struggle between the administra-
tion and the senate over the con
firmation Of Charles Beecher War
rem as attorney general has thrown
into relief the figure of Senator
Rorah of Idaho as leader of the
Republican party, second only in
influence to President Coolidge.
Calvin Coolidge is indisputably
the chieftain Of the great conser-
vative ma. .jority of the Republican
party, but recent developments
demonstrate clearly that Borah is
equally the leader of the growing
liberal minority Of the party.
The rivalry may find 4 decision
only in the presidential contest of
1923. Therefore, tests of strength
between the two politicians are
maintaining keenest interest.
The new senate had barely come
into being before Borah took his
stand astride the path Of the Presi-
dent s wishes. He vigorously op-
posed the Coolidge determination to
purge the party Of the supporters of
La Toilette.
Struck Hard Blow
The President won in that first
clash. But when Senators La Fol
lette. Frazier and Brookhart were
expelled from the party, Borah
prophesied the majority would re
gret its action. Less than Il week
later resentment over the expulsion
eliminated in an Independents Dem,
ocratie coalition with Borah sue
ceeding La Toilette as Independent
leader, which rejected Warren and
dealt President Coolidge the sharp
est blow struck by the senate to any
President in 60 years.
Though Borah differs from the
President on most of his policies,
they agree completely on economy
and tax reduction. On these issues
Borah fights as vigorously for the
Presidents views as on others he
opposes them.
AS chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, leader of the new
liberal bloc in the senate and as a
man who personally is more influ-
ential among his fellow senators
than any other, Borah is 4 figure
of Importance who may prove n
serious obstruction to the Presi-
dent 8 policies throughout the next
four years.

Charles Beecher Warren as at
torney general, President Cool
idge announced at the white
house he would give Warren a
recess appointment to the post
if the senate did not confirm
him.
The senate overrode the wishes
of its leaders today and decided to
press the nomination OF Charles
Beccher Warren as attorney general
to q vote before the END of the
day session. Shortly before lead
trs had agreed to postpone consid-
Grafton until Monday. ...
Senator Thomas j. Walsh, Mon
tana, Democrat. chief Of Warren s
opponents, threatened TO fiiibuster
against adjournment if the War
rem matter were not disposed of to-
day.
Walsh made n chccll-up after the
pOstponemcnt agreement was en-
tered into which caused him TO fear
the majority against confirmation
might be- lost over the weekend. He
believed the senate was lined up
to defeat Warren on the basis of
votes present today and he was un-
willing to ieopardize his command
ing position.
81 couldn t soc any reason why
we shouldn t vote today, Walsh
! said. u win be ready to vote af-
Ter I submit this report from the
judiciary committee.
The report questioned the ocnsti-
tutional right of President Coolidge
to submit again to the senator
nomination which already has been
once rejected by it.
Senator Pepper began prosenta-
ton of the Warren defense. He
criticized senators who previously
had said in debate that "Warren
cnjoved no reputation whatever as
n lawyer.
"Anv one who has investigated
Warren $ record would not make
such statement Pepper said.
Gle is man of unusual native
ability of peculiarly we'll adapted
education and that kind of 4 law
vcr who not only knows the law
but who can try his cases effective
ly.'
Pepper read telegram from Wal
ter s. Foster, president of the Mi
chigan Bar Association, saving that
Warren was respected by the bar of
Michigan and thought fit i'll every
way for the office of attorney gen
eral. Another telegram from George
w. Cole. former president of the
American Bar Association, also com
mended Warren. The Walsh report
which was adopted by the nine mem
bers of the senate judiciary COM
, mittee opposed to his confirmation,
! said in part:
"Whether the President has the
right or authority under the consti-
| tuition to submit to the senate
nomination for public office there
! fore at the same session rejected
| by it, is open to the gravest doubt.
| "No President has ever ventured
| to do so, so far as your committee

Her name, the authorities prefer
not to divulge, and say it doesn't
matter. There are many more al

nothing more in the way Of O
Christmas present than one OF
these certificates, some day.
Most Of the patients have been
actively interested in the sale OF
Christmas seals, as the proceeds
are used to fight the dread plague
that separates them from the outer
world, but the girl who was dis
charged today has dedicated Ter
life to the fight and shortly will
leave for Saranac Lake, where she
will study to become a nurse.
Up to noon today there remained
about 7OO,0 seals yet to be pur-
chased in order to realize the goal
Of $3,6OO,0O
