Borah of i Idaho submitted to an interview in which lie said there is a grow- ' ing desire among the people of the United States for a new political I "The success of any third party," Mr. Borah continued, "de- ! pends entirely upon the platform it adopts and the candidates it jl places in nomination. It is a most difficult matter to successfully l launch a new political party, as the slightest mistake in the begin- i ning marks the doom of the venture. II! those advocating anothe: ticket lean too far toward cither the reactionary or the radical, their !j efforts will prove futile in spite of the fact that the present is the most opportune time offered in many years for breaking away from j the old organizations." j Senator Borah is a puzzle. He has been on the ragged edge of jj party disloyalty during the past ten-years. He .constantly is oul- raged by his party's attitude, yet he clings. Undoubtedly he will never be entirely reconciled until he or Johnson is named as the I presidential candidate. 1 If the Republicans win by n large margin in this national con- test, the old guard will suppress Borah and Johnson so completely 1 that neither one will be allowed more than a speaking acquaintance "J with the inner circle, and their voices will be softly modulated when j they lift their hands to be even recognized. |
