plain English are called, or in code,
Quicker results are, of course, OBJ
tanned with the plain messages, but
only because OF the time necessary for
DECIDING. All wireless messages are
comparatively short but some Of
them run as long as two ordinary
typewriter sheets To illustrate the
speed of communication, a dispatch
has been sent TO the President since
he has been in the Pacific and a re-
ply received within 40 minutes. An
swers to code messages have been re-
ceived in about twice that time.
The greatest portion OF these
transfers OF information during the

Insthese circumstances, however,

G. o. P. Stumped for 1886.
According to some of the insiders.
curious situation has developed
within the Republican party. As out
lined by the new national chairman.
Henry P Fletcher, it is planned to
try to bring young men into the or
ganization and, in order to do so, to
go liberal" to a certain extent. But,
looking forward to the presidential
campaign of 1886 and specializing on
candidates who would represent this
policy and appeal to the Middle and
Far West, which it is conceded must
be propitiated. the leaders are rather
stumped for a choice. Ultra con-
servatives in the party. who try not
to fool themselves. have pretty gen.
orally come to the conclusion that,
unless things change decidedly, it
would be hopeless to nominate an
Eastern stand-patter in 1886, and so
they are turning their eyes westward.
Strange as it may seem, the most
likely and most prominent personality
that has come to their minds is Sen
ator William E Borah of Idaho.
Strange. not because of any lack Of
qualifications for the place, nor even
of age, but because Borah has never
been in the good graces of the ultra
conservatives. While his party regu-
larity is untsrnished-he did not 60
off with the Bull Moosers and has not
kicked over the traces with any other
movement-he has never been amen
able to discipline and has played a
lone hand.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1934-07-19

In the past, whenever the possible
ity of his being nominated for Presi-
dent has been mentioned TO Borah, he
has always parted the approach by
saying "Oh, they meaning the crowd
in controll would never have me"
Recently. however, since the new line
has been taken by Chairman Fletcher.
not one but several Eastern Standpat
Republican leaders have privately
mentioned Borah as most likely TO
meet their demands and the demands
