Idahoan Predicts Party Death
If Old Influences Aren't
Quickly Whipped Out
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
The Republican party was
warned today by Senator William
E. Borah that it faces destruction
unless it elects a young leadership
and creates a new organization,
free from the influences" which
carried it to defeat in 1882.
Senator Borah's statement was
issued on the heels of the reSigna-
ton of Everett Sanders, of In
diana, as Republican national
chairman. 1t came as a dozen
conservatives were launching cam
paigns for the post.
Hoover Not Named
The Idahoan literally demanded
a "houSe-cleaning" in the Republi-
can party. His demand for a
new deal" was taken as a repu-
diation of the leadership of former
President Herbert Hoover, al
though he would not deal in per-
sonalitieS and declined to propose
a.1y particular candidate for the
Sanders post. Senator Borah de-
clared:
Il haven't any candidate for
the position of Republican ma
tiOnal chairman, and I'm not
expressing any choice, because
/ don't know who the candi.
dates are, but the Republican
party is pretty close to the
brink and unless it has an Or
ganizatiOn free from the influ.
enceS which brought us to our
present plight, it will die as
the old whig party died, of
sheer political cOwardice.
DEPENDS ON YOUTH
"There is just one hope for
the Republican party instead of
a new party. That is the young
Republicans all over the cOun.
try, who have a new outlook,
new spirit and cleaner, higher
political ideals.
"If they can take charge of
the party and divorce it from
the economic and financial in.
fluences which have dominated
it recently, then we can have
a Republican party.
"The rank and file Of the
Republican party are still loyal
and there is a majority of them
in this country, if they are
given the proper leadership"
Borah's reference to a new
party" was taken to mean he
believed the Republican party
faced absorption by ? new party,
as the Wing party was swallowed
into the Republican party, unless
it reorganized.
Raps Fasteners
When informed that a number
of eastern conservative Republi-
ans were reported seeking the
Sanders port, he added:
"That type represents another
age-it's just like trying to
cleo, John Quincy Adams"

IS OUT
Other Horses Expected to Be
Scratched; Largest Crowd
In Years on Hand

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 5
GN.S0.-Brief but drenching
showers. increasing in intensity,
fell internationally here today.
Rains were general in the west
ern part Of the State and were
moving east; the Weather Blu
reau predicted the precipitation
would be heavy by late afternoon.
The sandy soil of Churchill
Downs, unusually dry as result
of lack of rains for ten days,
absorbed the moisture we'll, how
ever, and turf experts insisted
that unless there is a heavy
downpour between now and 5
o'clock this afternoon the Derby
track will be fast to good.
Biggest Crowd In Years
Milady's finery was doomed to
a soaking but even this failed to
halt the early flow of turf fans
to the Downs in what promised
to be the biggest Derby throng
in three years. Sixty to seventy
thousand were expected.
Up to shortly before noon only
one of the overnight entries
Fogarty-had been withdrawn,
leaving a field of 10 fleet three
year-olds to contest for the $780,
900 Derby purse. At least four
others were regarded as doubt
full, however. Scratches are per.
mitted up to post time.
Fire Causes Stir
Louisville rocked and reeled last
night under the impact of the
story that Churchill Downs was
afire.
Later, when all horses were
saved and the only damage was
the loss of two barns, they tried
to deprecate the Importance of
this development. But they didn't
feel that way about it when
smoke filled the Bradley barn
and Col. E. r. Bradley helped
to lead his Bazaar and Blue
Again to safety, nor was any
body particularly treasured when
Cavalcade, favorite for the race,
seemed unusually distressed by
the nearby flames.
Altogether, it wasn't just the
restful sort of evening that train
ers plan for horses on the eve
of the Derby, but, after all, the
damage was slight and in time
tranquility again reigned.
Scenes of Wild WaSsaiI
But not downtown. This was
the first repeal Derby and scenes
of the widest wassail went for
ward far into the night.
It was absolute delirium, mad,
distracted tumble and jangle with
