BATTLE OVER CANADIANS

stage that the Independents here
are arranging n radio hookup
through which thcv intend to
broadcast educational pro-
grams throughout the country.
First indications of fight
were given when Governor Me
Mullen, Nebraska, wired Scna-
tor Borah, Republican, Idaho,
asking f Borah would quit Nor
ris because they differed over
the equalization fee system of
farm relief. Borah replied he
would remain behind Norris and
accused MeMullen of working
for LoWden.
McMullen then went to the st.
Louis meeting and made n
speech criticizing Borah. Then
the farm conference adopted a
resolution assailing Borah.
The Independents here have
watched the st. Louis meeting
with apprehension to see if it
was not in reality a boom for
Lowdcn.
Those who know Borah S posi-
tion believe that if Lowden is
brought into the field Borah
may take the stump against
him.

the other eliminates provision that
