WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-Politi-
cal wiseacres, basing their deduc-
tions largely on current gossip, are
remarking upon the lengths to
which President Hoover seems to
be going to play BALI with Sena-
tor Borah.
The Idaho sphinx, always q
conservative president - or any
conservative president ar any
president - has habit of jump
ing over the traces and climbing
telegraph poles Just when the party
harness seems to be CALLING him
least. He is urged to run for
president every leap year. So far
he has never popped the question,
but there is always the possibility.
He can do plenty of harm to a
candidate if he chooses.
With all this in mind, 'the boys
take note that, according to one
version, Mr. Hoover appointed
Borah's choice for the supreme
court at Borah's urgent request,
after previously deciding upon
someone else.
They also observed that the IA
nous letter from Secretary Of
State Stimson to Borah on the
Shanghai crisis could not have sur.
prised Borah very much, since he
was closeted for hours with Slim
son the evening before. And &C
cording to some, the letter con-
tanned whole passages in Borah's
own words.
Sill another straw by which they
gauge the wind is the appoint
ment Of Theodore Roosevelt to be
governor general of the Philip
pines. Gossip has it that Borah
had a large and influential hand
in that.
1t is a far cry from the day when
Borah was an outsider, a potential
wolf at the administration door.
He is still head of a little group
Of Willful men, but according to
the boys he is being placated
at every turn.

 "Tshe sentiment in every dis trict I visited is the most whole some I ever have encountered. It lis conceded everywhere that 1882 lis a Democratic year, in Alaska and throughout the nation" he declared.
 Has Good Reception
 MT. ziegler visited Seward, Cor dova, Anchorage and Fairbanks, and the smaller precincts on the Alaska Railroad T was given a very favorable reception and was promised some very strong SUD- port. I am sure shall get a fine vote in both the Third and Fourth Divisions. I met many old friends and acquaintances on the coast and in the interior, who have assured me of their active interest" he said, commenting on his own candidacy.
 He found the sentiment in the Third Division strong for Senator A. J. Dimond, one of his oppo- nerlts, and divided in the Fourth. George B. Grigsby, the third can didate, he said, had some active workers in Fairbanks.
 He said there was some oppo- sition to Senator DiInond in both divisions which he expected, and was assured, would be in his own favor.
 Opens Local Campaign
 Mir ziegier continued on from here on the steamer Alaska to Wrangell and later will go to Pet ersburg. He expects to hold pub lie meetings in both places before the end of the current week.
 He plans to return here in abou. one week, spend two or three days in the interest of his candi- dacy and fly from here to Sitka and possibly other points. He will return to Ketchikan just before

 Several Days

TRENTON, N. J., April II. I-Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, through the New Jersey State Police, | a t Saturday night authorized the statement that a ransom of $50,000 was paid "to the kidnapers, properly identified as such, upon their agreement to notify him as to the exact whereabouts of his baby, but the baby was not found at the point designat- led.
 Several days were permit ted to elapse to give the kid napers every opportunity to keep their agreement.
 Asks Aid
 Tt was not intended to use lthe numbers of the species in which the ransom was paid but inasmuch as the kidnap- CTS have failed to keep their agreement and have not con- municated since the ransom was paid, it is felt every re- maining possible means must be utilized to accomplish the return of the b a b y and to this end, cooperation of the Federal Government was re- quested in tracing the bills used"
 The statement was signed by Col. H. Norman Schwarz- koff, of the New Jersey State Police for Col. Lindbergh.
