publisher, in the Illinois presidential
preferential primary on April IA
Borah is entered, too, in the Nebraska
primary, which takes place also on
April IA, and in the Pennsylvania

nois for several campaign speeches
before he returns to Washington.
Leaders among the Borah support
ers in New York were Representative
Hamilton Fish, w. KirgsIand Macy,
former State chairman, and William
Zeigler, jr. Macy backed Borah can
didates in the first district and was
Overwhelmingly defeated. Fish and
Zeigler, both candidates on the Borah
slate, were beaten in the fifteenth

A good deal of sentiment for nomi-
nation of Gov. ALT M. Landon of
Kansas for President has been ex-
pressed in New York Republican or
ganization circles in recent weeks.
However, the victory of the organiza-
ton delegates over the Borah slate
cannot be interpreted strictly as
Landon victory, for other aspirants for
the Republican nomination have their
supporters. The New York delegation
will go to the convention free to turn

don does not appear available" when
the convention meets in June the New
Workers will be found voting for some
one else.

organization was unable to adopt the
same tactics the organization carried
forward in New York Col. Knox had
the Endorsement of the Republican

organization were forced to 60 through
with the fight against Borah.
In Ohio, however where the pri-

the late President and Chief Justice
Taft. Back of Taft the supporters
of Landon, Knox, Vandenberg and
ether Republican presidential possibil-
tties are rallying.
Col. Knox's candidacy was boosted
