WASHINGTON LETTER

Continued from Page ~
Borah, it is explained in Senatorial
circles, made definite promises of
who gave their votes to his programs
last winter, in particular that little
band of Republican insurgents that
defied the President at the request
of Borah
Unquestionably, Senator Borah is a
splendid speaker and will draw
crowds to political meetings. His
health has not been the best. which
may account in part for his failure
to take the stump. His reelection
is virtually assured so that his speak
ing dates within the borders of his
home state are easily limited. The
insurgents" namely, Schall of Mime
sofa, McMaster of South Dakota, Pine
of oklahoma, and Norris of Nebraska
are scanning the horizon for the
Borah re-enforcements.
The Postmaster General has opened
the door on a roomful of trouble. His
current proposal to have the govern
ment build its own post offices as a
means of eliminating the petty graft
that has crept into the leasing of
space for postal quarters is expected
to draw fire in Congress. The Presi-
dent has given Mr.. Brown free hand
In an effort to put the Department
on business basis and will stand by
his Postmaster General in his quarrel
with the legislative branch. The
source of trouble may be found in the
fact that much of a congressman's
standing with the boys back home"
or the political gangs is to have the
government rent or lease space owned
by the influential citizens. Legisla-
tors resent anything that restricts
"pork-barrel" or patronage-so essen
tial to their jobs.
