Wheeler To Help "I'll ' to Idaho 'at the drop of the hat and do all I can to re-elect Senator Borah if he needs my help," Wheeler said. Borah and other members of the group which has supported the administration on some measures and opposed it on others, declined to comment until the new deal makes the first definite move. Ben Ross, 52, three times governor gov-ernor of Idaho, will be backed as Borah's opponent, it was said. In 1SJ32 Ross ran 10,000 votes ahead of President Roosevelt in a state normally Republican by between 20,000 and 40,000. This plurality was reduced somewhat in 1934, when he was re-elected. Borah has supported the new deal in its monetary, works-relief, PWA, AAA and holding company programs. He opposed joining the world court and bitterly attacked the NRA, which he charged with inspiring monopolistic practices to detriment of small business men.

The postmaster general, accompanied accom-panied by Mrs. Farley, spent the day listening to the organ recital at the Latter-Day Saints (Mormon) (Mor-mon) tabernacle, visiting, the temple grounds and other points of interest. State party leaders abided by Farley's wish that he be permitted to spend a quiet day "the same as any other tourist." The Farleys will 'leave tonight for California from where they will sail for Honolulu. |
