NEWARK, N. j.. May l5.-Senator
William E. Borah warned today that
unless the Republicans select presi-
dental candidate who will take hold
Of the question of monopoly he will
pursue the issue outside the party.
mo party shibboleths are going to
stand between me and the fight for
50,OO0,O00 people who have barely
enough to live" declared the veteran
Idaho Senator In campaign address
last night.
He said his own presidential aspi-
rations meant little beside the real
issue"
Among these he listed regeneration
of the Republican party, the end
of monopoly and price-fixing by the
few" aloofneSs from foreign entan-
clements and the need for an inde-
pendent judiciary.
Denounces leadership.
Denouncing leadership which he
declared was driving the Republican
party to destruction" Borah said:
If the Republican party will turn
its face toward the dawn, If 1t will
liberalize-name candidate looking
toward the future-and I am left out,
there won't be a single sting in my
soul.
However, IL the party refuses to
take hold of the question Of monop-
oily. I promise to follow the issue,
and no party alignment will control
me for minute"
After his speech he explained to
questioners:
Il only know I'll stick to the issues.
I'll follow them where 1 can serve
those issues the best and achieve best
results"
He was asked whether entering the
Democratic ranks would be a barrier
to his course.
1T will be anywhere where the
issues take me-" he replied. Il can't
say it will be in the Democratic ranks.
But entering the Democratic ranks
wouldn't stop me. Nothing will stop
me-"
No Thought of Third Party.
Borah had said in his address that
he had given no thought to third
party movement at this time"
They talk about me bolting," he
said. Let them turn their attention
to the issues. Then there will be no
talk of bolting.
If the ultra conservative, reaction
ary old guard control the Cleveland
convention 100000 who left the
party in 1892 will not only refuse to
return, but they'll take several more
with them. ="
The presidential aspirant said party
leaders opposed him in every State
because of his antagonism toward
monopolies.
Why" he asked, "are corporations,
like the Du Points, so active in this
campaign? They want to preserve
the power to tax the American peo-
pie"
Badly beaten by Robert A. Taft,
favorite son candidate, in the Ohio
presidential primary, Borah said
Negroes in that State had been per-
suaded to believe he favored lynching
because he did not support a Federal
measure against it, believing it un-
constitutional. Taft and other presi-
Dental aspirants were silent as an
oyster-and just about as dumb
when he asked them if they thought
the measure constitutional, he said.
