at a meeting of the National Repub-
lican Club Vandenbergs speech is
awaited with considerable interest. He
has opposed the great majority OF the
New Deal measures. although he Is
not inclined to damn them all.
Senator Borah, who has been fore
most of all the Republican presiden-
tial possibilities in permitting his
name to go before the people in presi-
Dental preferential primary States,
made his first campaign speech last
week in New York, at a Brooklyn
rally. He is to speak again over a
national radio hook-up on Washing
tons birthday, February %.
Under the leadership OF former
Representative Carl G. Bachmann of
West Virginia, headquarters for the
Borah candidacy have been opened in
the Willard Hotel, and an effort is
under way to link together all the
Borah forces in the various States.
McNary to Aid Borah.
Borah, it was learned yesterday,
will enter the oregon primary, which
takes place May Is, and prediction
was made that both Senator McNary
and Senator Steiwer of that State
would aid in the campaign there to
give Borah the delegation at the Re-
publican National Convention.
Plans are rapidly being perfected
also, it was said, to have Borah's name
entered in the presidential preference
primary in West Virginia which is
scheduled for May H. The last filing
date for this primary is April II.
Senator Borah, however, has de-
cidei net to go into the presidential
primary in Pennsylvania April %, on
the advice of former Gov. Clifford
Pinchot The Pennsylvania Repub-
lican organization is set, it is said,
to take an uninstructed delegation
to the national convention. 1t is ex-
planned. however, by friends of Borah
that come of the delegates chosen in
Pennsylvania will be by no means
unf-ienoiy to the candidacy Of the
Idaho Senator.
Conflicting reports come from Ohio
regarding the entry of Borah into the
fight for delegates to the convention
from tle Buckeye State. Senator
Borsh himself, however, declares that
the effort to win delegates in that
State has not been abandoned at
ALL 1t is expected that within a
day or two definite statement will
be forthce ming and that it will an
nounce Borah's entry into Ohio for
a speech or two.
New Deal Foes Stronger.
The campaign against the Roose-
welt New Deal is developing early.
A week ago AL Smith, who had the
Democratic nomination in 1928, split
absolutely with the administration and
threatened to take a walk" If Roose-
welt is nominated on a platform in
dorsing the New Deal. Gov. Eugene
Talmadge OF Georgia, indorsed for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton by the Macon convention Of
"Je1fersonian Democrats" has an
nounced his intention of stumping
the country against the denomination
of Roosevelt.
The Roosevelt Democrats. however,
have NOT been slow to answer both
Smith ana Talmadge Senator Rob-
inson of Arkansas, majority leader Of
the Senate and running mate OF Smith
in 1928, replied to the former New
York Governor in q nationally broad
cast speech on Tuesday. His office
has been flooded with letters and
kilograms approving his attack on
Smith, aid his clerks have been work.
ing long hours answering some 5000
of these messages.
So far as the Talmadge threat is
concerned. the Georgia supporters Of
President Roosevelt are perfecting an
organization which will put into the
field a State of delegates pledged to
the President. They insist Talmadge
would nave no chance whatever in
Georgia If he entered preferential
primary against Roosevelt. and they
have uared him to make such move.
To this Talmadge so far has made
no answer It is up to him and the
State committee which he seems to
control to say whether a primary
shall be held or the delegates chosen
by the committee.
Talmadge to Speak Widely.
Talmadge's value to the opposition
to the Roosevelt reelection, however,
is not confined entirely to Georgia.
The Georgia Governors ability to stir
the masses will be used in other parts
of the country, which are not so hide
bound in their democracy as the
South.
Among those members of Congress
who are freely predicting the nomi-
nation Of Gov. Landon on the Re-
publican presidential ticket is Sena-
tor Capper of Kansas.
Il have no slightest doubt that Lam
don will be the nominee" Capper said
yesterday. His address made very
distinct impression and has won him
much support already. Furthermore.
If he is nominated, I believe that he
will carry Kansas unqueStionably
against Roosevelt and that he will
also carry many Of the other agricul-
tural States Of the West"
Capper has long been . friend Of
the Kansas Governor. When the
Kansas Senator first ran for public
oflce in 1919 ~ the Renlhlican can.
