W'V' I Senator Borah, the Ioiik lmlro'd '3tut4juiMi from' Idaho, has 'thrown a lomb. lnto'-'tlib Republican I'tWik'rt-' lot Aspiration' camp by dcclarliiK liaTt .the Wiiod inithtiKerb aro attempting attempt-ing t,) .'.'control i tiu ltepubllcti cciuvoii'. tloi by the uuo- of 'money," and" that tho Lowden 'followera ate spondfiiK ov. en Inrgei-'jniniB' to gain favor for' Hie Illinois governor. j These charges nail'... I' ' were followed fol-lowed by evidences of glee on tho faces fac-es ot tho imuiy'deiiiorntts' who heard tho charges, as the democrats are In the midst ot so much storm and trouble, trou-ble, they ualuially would feel gleo-ful gleo-ful to know that misery has ho mo compnny. But tholr gleo'was only for a moment, ns tho Idahoan soon turned on them and declared that within ten days two democrats would be found spending as much or morQ money for public fnvor than the Republicans. " ThFthftVpcs" lihvfi- aroused 'the can." didates as well as their friends ns n result tlio Idaho Senator Is busy receiving re-ceiving nnd answering telegrams by the score, and the end Is not yet. In fact tho battle Is just beginning, and with tho Idaho senator In tho center ot tho stage, and tho candidates at various positions In tho lino the next tow weeks promises much In a political poli-tical way that will be worth reading. Tho Idaho senator has maao the charges nnd must make good his complaint. com-plaint. In America a man Is Innocent Inno-cent until ho Is proven guilty, nnd judging from tho calibro of the men that Senator Borah has crossed swords with he now has some job on his hand's. If he makes good, ho will prove to be an undertaker of omc note, as tho political graves to lis credit will be attractive In quantity quan-tity and quality. The peoplo will iwalt tho verdict with much concern and hope tho Investigation will bo complete. The people do not want a man for President that buys his nomination nom-ination and election. In fact up to date the United States has no Presidency Presi-dency for sale. And further tho people peo-ple do not want a man in tho Senate, ba he from Idaho, or any other state, that periodically lines in the Senato and makes charges Indiscriminately against his fellow Americans. Therefore There-fore It is up to SensMor Borsth. It he makes good his charges ha should be commended and the candidates who are attempting to buy political honors should bo run out of tho field. If he falls to make good his charges Senator Borah should be driven from political life. From tho home stato .of Senator Borah there comes some hot words, Mr. J. Rob Brady, President ot the Bannock County Leonard Wood League, .declares that "Senator Borah' Is too busy playing politics to -heed to tho needs ot his state." Ha further furth-er declares that the Senator Is commonly com-monly known In the east ns Mie "halt, baked Idaho potato," nnd that "he goes about the country liurauglnK tho peoplo, seeking t sause dlscon- " v . 'Vw' PJ tent, and. la app.u'uutlJmbu,v1v wUUw H the Idea that, ho, enauir'' Borah, nl- - one Is actuate lluroii6tives,'Almt fl he aloiiu Is patriot. 'v . :Vrl Brady 'H charges 'that tho IdiihoJSnator.'ls ' , ' gttllqry plajr and .suy.sf,'M.odiiy'a(j:' M nounccil. In'tho Senato not over foiir' months ago that he know- who' the, H profiteers wqris and how Jo curb them. tM Bui ho never took the poopjo Into his H Co'uridrnco and baa never named tho H profiteers, hu so boldly denounced, H nor has ho offered any solution ot ilfl how tit curb profiteering." Ilfl And thus it runs. Tho Senator's MM chiiiges would naturally nottie . the ttfl Wood managers, and It Is to be sup- IM potted (bat they would reply with H "imc heat. That docs not make tho IH charges or the distinguished orator ' H rnlse, however. But It must bo ad- H milled that Mr. Brady has one on HI tho Senator In tho matter or the pro- H rilcero. We recall reading the record Ha whcVehi Senator Borh said 'We- - II know who the pofiteers aro," etc., ' "U and we also recall how. ho declared Hi thnt they wore perfectly safo. In tho H Senator's diligent rush for political Iff and governmental morality If ho had H' shown more diligence In bringing the jV profiteer from his place of safety, his K present cry of governmental Immoral lli Ity might find more favor, In tho 111 hearts of tho American people. Ver- II lly tho Senntor has somo job on his 81 hands, and the peoplo will deliberate 1H a long while before they believe MaJ- II or General Wood, Governor Lowden IE and tho two lending democratic can- HE didates whom ho promises to name, l violators of tho laws of the land. At Si I least tho people will decree all ot H them llnocciit until they nro proven cullty, so go to It, Senator Borah. BA |
