 "Why not, senator?" asked Bingham. "You are . candidate for the party's nomination for President"
 "T am not interested for Q very simple reasOn," replied BOrah. "Te I am the candidate, I will De the platform. If I am not the candidate, I won't need . platform"
 NOTE-The callers roared with laughter ct Borah's blunt state- il1ent--except Bingham, who failed to see anything humorous about it. After the group left Borahs office, he asked the others to ex- plain the joke.
 Women Pacifiers
 The President has definitely de- cided to include a woman among the American delegates to the pan.Americafl Conference in Buenos Aires next fall.
 RESULT: Q rush of candidates for the job.
 Foremost rushers are Mrs. Cas- per whitney, @ close friend of Mrs. Roosevelt; and Miss Joseph. inc Schain, chairman of the com. mittee on the Cause and Cure of War.
 Miss schain is c white rabbit sort of person, Q yes-girl for Car. rie Chapman Catt. The appoint ment of either her or Mrs. Whit ney would give the State Depart rnent someone who would be sure to answer its beck and call, but not sure to swing the support of women.
