WASHINGTON, Aug.-Sen. VIII
liam E. Borah's big lead in a straw
vote expression of preferences for
next years COP presidential NOM
inee may be a political fluke or it
may signify a real split between
what nominally are the eastern
and western wings of the Repuoli-
can party.
A few hundred town and country
Republican leaders Rmong 5000
polled in straw vote have made
Borah first choice for president by
a wide margin. Republican leaders
hereabouts do not. however, expect
Borah to win the 1886 prize al
though they recognize his power
with the people and the senator's
determination to put his mark on
the campaign platform.
The significance of Borah's straw
vote strength seems actually to lie
in the fact that the poll was TAX
en- Just after Borah seized the
reins of the currency initiation
band wagon and began to whip the
horses.
Until his currency initiation
statement of July % there had ap-
peared to be a shifting of opinion
on Borah in many moderately con-
servative areas where he earlier
had been rated a radical and even
a dangerous man. This shift de-
veloped coincident with the SEN
ator's vigorous and effective de-
Tense of the constitution against
President RooSeVelt's complaint
that it was horse and buggy doc
ument in motorized age.
But last month Borah hit the
headlines with a demand for two
currency initiation bills - soldiers
bonus and Frazier-Lemke farm re-
financing-involving about $5,000,-
100000 of new money.
Outwitted BY New Dealers"
New deal' senate leaders out
maneuvered Borah for this session,
but only by pledging an early vote
on the bonus when congress meets
next January. If it is possible to
do so, they will avoid a vote next
year on the Frazier-Lemke bill to
refinance farm Indebtedness.
Although Borah's strategy failed
to enact either of these inflationary
proposals, it put the Idahoan
among the leading challengers of

STA t CIVIL
SERVICE ACT
TAKES EFFECT.

SACRAMENTO Aug. 20. U.P)-
Life assumed a roster hue for near
ly 5000 state employees who were
blanketed into lifelong civil service
jobs today.
One thousand of these are board
of equalization accountants, in
spectors, collectors, liquor control
officers and stneographers. Near
ly 1900 are road laborerS, semi
skilled workers and executives in
the division of highways. The re-
mainder are scattered through 9TH
er state departments.
The new civil service act, which
became effective today after an
eight month probation period, end
ed the suspense for employees who
had managed to retain their jobs
during the past several months of
political maneuvering.
Those affected by the act were
employees who had worked steadily
for six months or more prior to
December 20, 1884, and who did not
have civil service status at that
time. Employees who were hired
after June 20, 1884, had to depend
upon high examination grades to
make their positions secure.
There was no outward evidence
of last minute firing, although
many changes were made during
the first few months of this year.
The new act affected all prev
iously exempt employees except APP
pointees of the governor, one pos
ition in each department and on
each commission and board, and
prison guards and officials. 1t had
the effect of placing the entire
state employment system under
civil service regulations.
Employees who found new Secur-
fity after months of anxiety may
retain their jobs permanently un-
less the positions they hold are
abolished, or the individuals are
discharged for inefficiency, insub-
ordination, dishonesty or some 9TH
er Just" cause. And even then,
they may demand hearings before
the state personnel board.

BORAH ACQUIRING STRENGTH AS
SSIBLEREPUBLICAN CANDIDATE

easterner in the list is Ogden l..
Mills, former secretary of treasury,
seventh from the top. Borah's
showing raises the question-and
the Republican leaders would like
the answer-whether the COP CO.
alition of industrial eastern votes
and agricultural western and mid
western votes permanently is out
of joint. If Borah actually repre-
sents the Republican thought of
the prairie and mountain states
then there is a vast and almost
unbridgeable cleavage between the
eastern and western leaders of the
party. The 1886 Republican plat
form will undertake to close the
gap.
In the session now nearing its
end, Borah voted for the bonus, the
Wagner disputes bill, the public
utilities death sentence" for the
Agricultural Adjustment Adminis-
tration amendments and to restore
Spanish American war veterans
pensions. He opposed the world
court, extension of NRA, the CEN
tral bank plan proposed by Fa-
ther Charles E. Coughlin, and the
LaFollette proposal to increase in
come taxation on the little fellow
There are at least three Repub-
lican presidential possibilities in
the senate-Borah, Vandenburg of
Michigan and Dickinson of Iowa.
Their voting records in the 1893
special session which laid the foun-
dation for the new deal' suggests
that any of them would have some
explaining to do if nominated next
June for the presidency.
