"LONE WOLF" IS SILENT
ON NOMINEE OF G. O. P.
10000 Lead for President Is Seen
Likely Despite Hard Work
by Republicans.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,
Staf Correspondent OF The Star.

BOISE, Idaho, october 13.-The
Big Potato State" is thinking OF
Franklin Delano Roosevelt as just an
other "Old Potato" q term Of appro-
baton in 1882.
There seems no doubt that Idaho
will 90 for Roosevelt on election day
or very little doubt-unless something
happens in the next three weeks to
materially change sentiment. The
States four electoral votes otherwise
are lost to Gov. Landon, the Repub-
lican candidate for President.
One thing that might have . great
influence on the outcome in Idaho and
in other States Of the West-the
personal Endorsement of Landon by
Senator William E. Borah-apparently
Is not going to happen. Borah, the
lone wolf Republican nominee to
succeed himself, is silent about Lam
don. He probably will remain SO until
the end Of the campaign. He reserves,
of course, the right to change his
mind and 60 into the fight for Landon.
At present Borah Is making Repub-
lican speeches. Like Landon, he is
denouncing the reciprocal agreements
which the Roosevelt administration
has made with Canada and foreign
nations, which he claims are injuring
the American farmer and stock raisers.
Like Landon he Is denouncing New
Deal efforts to evade the Constitution
Of the United States and to break down
the dual system Of government, Great
ing vaster and vaster powers in q
centralized government in Washington
Like Landon, he defends the Supreme
Court and its right to pass upon the
constitutionality Of laws passed by
Congress.
In that respect Borah is going along
with the Republican national cam
paign. But he Is saying nothing about
the Republican national ticket. AT
the same time, he has no intention Of
joining forces with Roosevelt. Effort
after effort has been made by Re-
publican leaders to get the veteran
Republican Progressive. who wields q
great influence with the independent
voters Of the West, to come out openly
for LAndon. Just one speech-if no
more-they plead. Such . plea was
made to him personally by leading
Republicans from q nearby State only
yesterday. But he Is turning q deaf ear
