prospect is dismal if he turns back
One commonly hears in Wash.
ington and elsewhere that Borah
never fights through on anything
His worst critics call him "trim-
mer." They assert either that he
has lost his power to carry any
struggle to a finish or that he is
forever considering himself as a
presidential candidate and thus pull
ing his punches.
Now it is quite true that neither
of those explanations can be
proved, but it is also true that
Borah has often disappointed those
who expected q great deal of him.
The progressive element once
thought that he might become their
great leader, but they have long ago
given up hope and Borah is not q
great deal more popular with then,
than with the standpatters in his
party. Borah has maintained his
Republicanism, but it is distinctly a
Borah brand.
The fizzle Of his attempt to raise
100000 to repay to Harry Sinclair
his tainted contribution to the Re-
publican campaign chest need not
necessarily be counted against
Borah. There are those who think
that the discredit if any lies with
the party leaders who ignored It,
But if Borah is content, having
raised $1,000 which may now go to
the striking coal miners, and If he
does not follow the issue through
between now and the close of the
convention the disappointment of
his friends will be much greater
than ever.
The scoffers began to brand the
Borah prohibition QUESTIONABLE to
Republican presidential candidates
as another fizzle, but Borah would
hardly admit that and in any event
he has no more than begun his
drive for specific enforcement
platform plank.
Borah quickly called the bluff of
Senator Jim Watson, when that
self-alleged presidential candidate
was reported to have told his
friends that Borah didn't dare
question him and that he would
'blow him out Of the water if he
did" Now Senator Jim has re.
ceived his questionable.

Justice Jennings Bailey Of the District Of
Columbia court did all of us a service when he
picked jury for the Sinclair trial in little
over three hours.
We are used to seeing weeks spent in the
selection of jury for big" case. Justice
Bailey couldn't see any use for such delay; so
he took things into his own hands, reduced OBJ
jections and questions to minimum, ques-
toned the veniremen himself-and filled the
box before the lawyers knew quite what was
happening.
It was a splendid bit of work. Would that
more judges would copy him.

Washington, April 19.-Some
thing is going to happen to Sen.
ator William E. Borah at the Re
publican national convention.
Borah will either emerge from il
with more prestige and influen. {
than he has ever had before or else
he will lose great zeal Of wha:
he has, now.
If the first Of those things hap.
pens to Borah it will ne because he
has made a splendid "go-through'
fight on the issues which he regards
as the most important in Ameri-
can government and has either bat
tered down the opposition os party
politicians or has gone lown fight.
ing hard aft:c letting the whole
wide world know that Borall was
there with his fists. Because C tie
odds against him, there's moral
victory for him either way.
The otheN alternative is tina.
Borah's belligerent attitude will
fizzle out; that he will allow HIM
self to become little more than che
Of those present at Kansas City.
All this does not concern tie fact
that Borah has beer entered as q
presidential candidate by his de-
voted home state of Idaho. Unless
the first part of June finds his
party in an Unexpectedly terrible
fright, Borah's chances of NOM
ination will be the slimest. He
might enhao.e those chances by his
performance at the convention, but
probably nos {. .,rea. deal.
The story is that Boraa must
simply make good ar fall a great
deal in the estimation of his friends
The two issues which Dorah has
taken to h.:nscl:. are prohibition en-.
forcement and the Teapot Dome
campaign funds scandal. These
are the two issues which the party
politicians are most anxious to keep
quiet about.
But Borah has promised not Ia
keep quiet about them. He has
promised to wage a real battle tc

appeals language" in explaining his
points to his audiences.
The Harding landslide of 1920
swept the Democrats out of office in
New York and Smith went down in
defeat, running nearly 100000
votes ahead Of his ticket and missing
reelection by q narrow margin. He
retired from public life for the first
time since 1903 and entered private
trucking business.
In 1922 Smith became candidate
for governor again and was elected.
He has held che office ever since.
The 1922 campaign saw a renewal
Of the bitter personal feud between
Smith and William Randolph Hearst,
the publisher. Hearst wanted to run
for the Senate on the ticket which
had Smith as a gubernatorial nomi-
nee, and certain Tammany leaders
exerted much pressure to gain
Smiths consent. He steadfastly re-
fused, recalling that in 1919 Hearst's
newspapers had accused him of being
responsible for New York City's poor
milk supply.
Some of His Policies
Returning to Albany as governor
in 1922, Smith resumed the urging
Of those policies that he had inaug-
urated in his first term. These in
cluded, among others, consolidation

basis; passage Of q $500, OO0, 900 bond
issue to eliminate railroad crossings;
development Of . statewide system
Of parks; conservation Of waterpower
resources; added financial support
for education; legislation to relieve
housing conditions in New York City
and 48-hour week for industry.
