They Never Speak
Same Language

Same Language
There was no natural reason,
aside from sheer partisanship,
why Senator Borah should have
been the premier champion of
Mr.. Hoover in 192S-except one
he is a prohibitionist.
Mr.. Hoover was known to
be reactionary; Mr.. Borah is
supposed to be progressive.
They never have, and never
can, speak the same language.
Mr.. Borah is a Western man
with western ideas. Mr..
Hoover is q Western man who
has scarcely lived in the West
from the time he left it for a
career when 81 in Europe, and
he has European ideas.
Mr.. Hoover made solemn
promises to Mr.. Borah on
agricultural relief, and they
were not kept.
He promised to launch great
building enterprises in the
Western country, and he has
not ne it.
He promised to maintain
prosperity" and his policies
have wrecked even the SEM
blance Of 1t. .
The Washington times., 1931-11-04
The President and
BOrah
-Bv Claude G.. BOwers =

The report that the pro-
gressive element Of the party In
power is seeking to persuade
Senator Borah to contest for
the presidential nomination
with Mr.. Hoover is mildly inter
esting but not exciting.
It is interesting in that the
plea is based upon the claim
that the revolt against the
Administration In the West has
extended eastward as far as
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois.
Plausible reasons are advanced
for the Borah candidacy.
One Is that his views are
more radical than those Of his
party, and that the spirit Of
unrest would operate in his
favor. The other is that he,
and not the President, inter
preted the feeling Of the aver
age American to M. Laval.
But Senator Borah is said
to be skeptical of the possibil-
tiles because the character Of
the Republican, party in the
South would assure the Presi-
dent Of the delegations from
that section. And because
these, with the reactionary
sentiment Of the party in the
Eastern States, would make it
difficult to deprive Mr.. Hoover
of the nomination.
And there is another reason:
If, as said, Senator Borah is
inclined to support Hoover"
he must be satisfied with the
fruits of the Administration:
and If he is satisfied his only
reason for running would be to
get the office. That is not a
sufficient reason.

Republicans i'm Doubt
As to Hoover Election


As to Hoover Election
The other day I had a long.
talk with one of the out.
standing Republicans of the
country. He was depressed and
disgusted. This is what he said:
II don't know what has come
over the American people. They
seem to have succumbed weakly
to . sort of fatalism. 1 do not
know q single Republican Of inn
pOrtanCe not holding office
under the Administration who
thinks Hoover can be elected.
1 do not know one that wants
him renOminated. But they
simply fold their hands with q
deadening fataHsm and do
nothing" =
The truth is, of course, that
it is practically impossible to
defeat a Republican President
for denomination because Of the
situation In the South. And
there is another reason: If Mr..
Hoover'S administration has been
a success, he is entitled to a re.
nomination: If not, the nomina.
tion Is worth nothing to any
one else.

He stood as an exponent Of
the Borah ideas regarding the
League Of Nations, and he has
recanted.
He was going to eliminate
poverty" and the economic
blunders Of the Administration
and its flamboyant policy Of
privilege have plunged the
masses into more desperate
poverty than they have ever
known before.
If Mr.. Borah is inclined
to support Mr.. Hoover" then
Mr.. Borah on the stump in
1892 will debate with the Mr..
Berah of 1928.
Faith Is Lacking
In Leadership
The greatest tragedy that can
fall to a people in a crisis is for
them to have no faith in its
leadership; and that is the
plight Of the American people
now. The almost unprece-
dented popularity of the book,
washington Merry Co Round"
which maintains its place for
months as a "best seller" Is
most significant.
We are unable to agree with
all the characterizations in the
book, but it is intensely interest
ing and Illuminating. People
read the things that appeal to
them. It is not a compli.
mentary portrait of the Presi-
dent that is painted.
Thus the nation has lost faith
in the miracle powers of the
man who was to eliminate
poverty" This has been due in
part to the blunders of the Ad-
ministration that have done
such damage; to its lack Of
frankness with the people and
the press: to its subordination
of American problems to those
of Europe; to its stubborn re-
fusal to right wrongs committed,
as in the case of the tariff: to
its evident conviction that the
function Of government is to
serve the bankers, but not the
millions Of jobless men dis.
