STAND
ON CAMPAIGN
IN DOUBT
Friends Believe Senator
Will Assume Merely
Receptive Attitde
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON


BY WILLIAM N. HU1CHANSON
international News Service
The big brown hat of Senator
William E. Borah, Lone Wolf" of
Idaho, was in the Republican
presidential arena today, but the
Capitols politicians were specu-
lating whether his campaign for
the G. o. P. nomination would
be aggressive or merely receptive.
The question was whether
Borah would-or could-raise a
campaign fund, personally direct
the creation of State organiza-
tions, enter primaries generally
and wage an active drive for the
nomination, or remain here pas
Sively waiting for an uprising of
popular sentiment to force Repub-
lican chieftains. everywhere to
rally beneath his banner.
Latter Course Predicted
Friends of the Idaho statesman
predicted he would take the latter
course and conduct a receptive
campaign. Under this plan, he
would rely upon his friends and fol.
lowers in various States to launch
local drives to capture their State
delegations for him. When called
upon, he would give his consent
to having his name placed in a
primary, but turn the whole con-
duct of the campaign over to the
local State leaders.
Two reasons we're advanced by
his friends as having influenced
Borah to this decision. One was
that he could not hope to win the
nomination in a convention con-
trolled by Republican conserva-
tives, unless a popular uprising
forced them to take him. The
other was that he could not raise
a campaign fund large enough to
finance a national pre-convention
self under obligations he has never
accepted in the past.
Might Raise Funds
Some of his friends, though,
believe he could raise the neces-
sary campaign fund, either by
large contributions from some of
his independently wealthy friends
such as Senator James Couzens
(R,) of Michigan or former Gov
ernor Clifford Pinchot, of Pennsyl.
vania-or by a host of small con-
tributionS from his less favored
supporters throughout the nation.
In either event, they pointed out,
he still would face the conServa-
tive-controlled convention, unless
he won a majority of its delegates
in the primaries.
His reported decision to be a re-
ceptive candidate meanwhile was
reflected in his handling of the
Wisconsin situation. Without a
previous word from Borah a group
of young Liberal Republican lead
ers in that State decided to sup
port him in their States preferen-
tial primary. They sent a delega-
tion here to get Borah's consent.
He gave it. This meant the Wis
consin people must organize their
own campaign and raise their own
campaign fund.
Borah'S sole contribution was
his consent. Later on, he may
go to Milwaukee to make a radio
speech-just to help his friends
carry the State for him.

PASTORS MIX
PRAISE, BLAME
BY United Press

Clergvnen of the nation mixed
praise and censure today in reply
ing to a letter from President
Roosevelt asking their counsel and
advice"
Bishop George Craig Stewart OF
the Episcopal dioceses of Chicago
said:
I am much pleased with the
social legislation enacted and Will
respond to the Presidents courteous
and proper letter. A wise admin
istrator of the country, should,
think, ask advice concerning social
legislation from leaders whose pri-
mary concern is the spiritual and
temporal welfare Of all people"
An entirely different view was
taken by Dr. John Timothy Stone,
president Of the Presbyterian The
illogical seminary, Chicago, who
said:
What 1 am going to do for the
President is to pray for him, be-
cause he needs it. 1 am not going
to reply to his letter. 1t is the
Presidents business to know how
TO run the nation and not the
clergy's."
The Rev. Arthur W Taylor, Chi
cago Congregational pastor, said
the letter evoked laughter when
read to the Englewood Ministerial
association.
The letter sounds genuine" he
said. but as it comes on the eve
of a western political tour, most Of
US, I'm afraid, will take it with
grain of salt"

The new Motorola auto radio,

more than ever before the luxury OF

Loson Odle. local manager OF the

addition to giving finer performance
in cars of previous years, the new
MotCrola offers custom built models
for nearly every 1885 automobile.
"One of the most important fea-
lures of this famous car radio to
new car owners is the variety OF Spe-
cial designs which make it possible
for them to enjoy Motorolas per-
feet performance with a modern,
built-in appearance" he asserts.
of these outstanding character
isticS, the most prominent is the
tuning dial mounting. Choice Of the
customary steering post mounting,
CT special instrument panel mount
ings is offered TO the Motorola pur-
chaser. The latter are built TO fit
into the ash receivers or specfSl
panels of all 1885 cars"
Other custom built features are
the overhead speaker for cars de-
signed for its use. and especially
constructed sets and under-fender
aerials for cars equipped with metal
dome tops" Odle adds.
But appearance and built in de-
sign have not occupied all of the
Motorola engineers attention, for
greater sensitivity and distance has
been coupled with increased tone
fidelity to give Motorola home radio
performance. Two improvements
