WASHINGTON of the in
teresting things that may happen
during the campaign for the repub-
lican presidential nomination is an
endorsement of Secretary of Com
merce Hoover by Senator Boran.
Borah admires Hoover more than
he adnires any of the other import
ant candidates and there is reason
to believe that Hoover likes Boran.
At any rate, some of Hoover S
friends are hoping that Borah will
support their man. Insofar as they
are concerned, Hoover and Boran
would make great national tickeJ.
Borah might conceivably consent to
such an arrangement, despite his re-
fusal to run with Coolidge in 1924, but
there may be even more complica-
tionS.
Suppose the Hoover strength at
the convention, when it becomes ap.
parent that Hoover can't win in the
face of eastern and agrarian opposi-
ton, turns to Borah? The present
dope is that neither Hoover nor
Borah can win the nomination, but if
such development should come
it would bring Borah much nearer
to the nomination than he has ever
been before. ="
No close personal friendship exists
between Hoover and Borah such as
is found between Lowden and Dawes.
but in some respects their interests
are the same.
Hoover has passionate desire to
be president and thinks he has a
chance. Borah would like to be
president, too, but he has no illusions
which allow him to think that he
can get the nomination under the
party's present setup. On the other
hand there are those who think
Hoover is in much the same boat as
Borah-that- the party's leaders and
controlling influences won't let him
have it because he is too honest and
too much his own man.
Borah is understood to regard
Hoover as man with some moral
fiber" In his heart he is rather
contemptuous of the reactionary can
didates for the nomination such as
Hughes and Dawes. He is convinced
that the big boys of the party have
determined to block Hoover's cam
paign for delegates by putting up

NANTUCKET Man
CHARGED With
CALIF. MURDER

BOSTON, Sept. %, QP)-The Bos-
ton Post today says it has learned
that Norman Baker, 25 year old
member of one of Nantucket's oldest
families is being held without bail
in the Nantucket lookup on a charge
of murder lodged against him by
the police Of Los Angeles.
The paper says the youth was ar
rested at his home last Sunday but
that owing to his prominent con-
nections and the fact that Los
Angeles police are expected here in
few days to return him to the
Pacific coast, news Of his detention
was withheld M
While admitting that Baker was
under arrest and held without bail,
Police Chief Huntington Gibbs de-
clined further comment on the case.
The Post says that from the Los
Angeles police it was learned that
Baker was wanted there for the muir
der of a youth whose acquaintance
he made on trip through Califor-
MIA several months ago. He was
traced to his home here through
baggage he forwarded to Nantucket
from Phoenix, Arizona.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. %, R)-The
arrest of Norman Baker, 25, at Nam
tucket Island, Mass, today on murder
charges was the result of the death
of Paul Gotham, declared by the
police to have been Bakers COM
panion in an attempted holdup of
a grocery store.
Police records show that Gotham
was slain while he and two COM
panions, one of whom is believed to
have been Baker, were attempting
to hold up Mike Trifoni, the pro-
prietor of the grocery store. Undis-
mayed by the pistols of the three
men, Trifoni seized Gotham as a
shield and thrust him between him
self and the apparent leader Of the
holdup men.
This man, whom the police say
was Baker, fired shot which killed
Gotham.

More Truth Than Poetry

LOVE AND GARDENS
I do not doubt that fond romance

1 do not doubt that fond romances
May flourish in garden plot,
Perhaps the lowly carrot fancles
The stately bean, who loves him not.
Perchance the broccoli is blighted
Because his passion for the beet
Remains forever unH quilted
A thing which camps the self
conceit.
For many years I've. nursed the notion
That squash and pumpkin, yam and
pea
Experience the same emotion
Which often stirs in you and me.
I've tried to win their young affection
And in their hearts to keep alive
For me a kindly prediction
Which possibly would make them
thrive.
But vain my sentimental labors,
No fondness in their eyes 1 see
They grow for many of my neighbora
But never will they grow for me
Rich soil about their roots I scatter
I shield them from the scorching
sun,
I water them it doesn't matter
They droop and perish, one by one
Yet such is life--it is not often
II fact it's only here and there
That true love serves the hearts tc
soften
Of those we sometimes term the
fair.
With deep devotion you pursue them
You'd die for them, if need be, but
They do not choose to have you VIC
