There was tomblike silence in the
chamber as Borah, glancing neither to
left nor right, resumed his seat,
slouched in his chair.
Borah will be man without party
so far as the national elections this
fall are concerned.
He said he would not support the
Democratic nominee for the Presi-
dency.
1t was indicated Borah will cam
paign for individual progressive SEN

Senator Thomas of Idaho, and possibly
Blaine of Wisconsin.
Senator George Norris of Nebraska,
who bolted Mr.. Hoover in 1923, en-
phatically approved Borah's declara-
tons. He said:
II will not be the only renegade this
year."
