Show iikeit ii stuji state; Idaho's Junior Senator Ex-! I pected to Make Tour Ad- ; vocating Nations' League. , Gem State to Receive Liberal Lib-eral Sum for National j Forest Roads. j ! Special to The Tribune. BOISE, Idaho. March 22. "While Senator Sena-tor Borah, Republican, leading lllc attack against the league of nations, Idaho's Ida-ho's junior member of the United States senate, Senate r John F. Nugent. Democrat, Demo-crat, is taking directly the opposite stand. He favors the covenant, and with the adjournment of congress has returned to his Mate and his home here, preparatory to making a tour of Idaho speakins in ils behalf. Senator Nugent Is filling the recess term, having been appointed by Governor Alexander to succeed the late James H. Brady, and later elected for the balance of the unexpired term of two years, last fall, when he defeated Frank 11. (iood-Ing, (iood-Ing, Republican. In the election of 10 ho will again be a candidate to succeed himself lor the six-year term. Is an Able Debater. Since he took his scat in congress. Senator Sen-ator Nugent has ht-r: hard at work, but has taken little active part on th senate floor. He iy one of the new members and is not overriding precedent. Senator Nugent, Nu-gent, however, is well known as a debater. de-bater. It is within the range of possibility possi-bility that Senator Berah will be 'n Idaho speaking against the league at the .same time Nugent is speaking for it, which nould make a keenly interesting situation. "I am heartily in favor of the leagi-e of natlors," said Senator Nugent." I will probably have more to say about the matter before I leave Idaho. I have already al-ready received Inflations to deliver addresses ad-dresses and I intend to accept in as many-instances many-instances as practicable. "I am sure it is generally recognized that the sixty-fiflh congress, which expired ex-pired March -1, after having been practically prac-tically in session since April, I'M", will he recorded as one of the most momentous momen-tous in the nation's history. It is practically prac-tically certain that 'a special session of congress will be called because of the urgent necessity for appropriations in many departments of the government before be-fore July 1, which marks the beginning of the fiscal year.' "Idahoans will be particularly interested in an amendment attached by the senate to the postoi'fico nppropriat'nns bill. This rider provides $i!On,M0.000 for good roaJs purposes. Idaho's proportion of the total sum will be $:!,:i00,000. This oill also contains a provision oppropriating S3. 000,-000 000,-000 in each of the next three vears for the purpose of" construct ing ronrls a nd t'-rnls in the national forests. My opinion is that a considerable port ion of t his grant will be set aside for Idaho. Final action on the I a ne land bill will come before the extra session. Filibustering made it impossible im-possible to enact this bill at the iast session," Changes at Asylum.
