BORAH WON'T
BACK HOOVER
FOR PRESIDENT
(Continued from Page One)
"I will not," Borah replied.
That was all, but It was enough to
send a thrill through the senate
chamber crowded with Senators who
remembered the powerful Influence
the Idaho orator had In the ,1028
pampalgn. . 1 .
Borah previously had announced
he would not be bound by the plat
form and served notice that the pro
hibition issue would be carried to
the people.
Senator Lewis recalled that Bornn
'did -much to make possible the
election of the present president by
contending that his opponent, former
Governor , Smith, stood fqr nullifies-.
tlon. .v:v'; ' '.'',. ::,',: ',
Ho was able to convince the state
of North Carolina, Tennessee and
others that the president was for
the 18th amendment and that we
who were opposing It were nulllflers
of the constitution," Lewis said.
Borah .In Tight Place
"Since by this support of Mr. Hoo
ver on the theory that he supported
the 18th amendment and his op
position of the Dcmlcratlc candidate
on the ground that he proposed nul
lification, I ask him how he stands.
Will he support President Hoover
as an advocate of the 18th amend
ment or as a nulllfer of the consti
tution?" Does the Senator ask me If I will
support Mr. Hoover?" Borah asked.
'Yes," Lewis replied.
I will- not," Borah then said, and
resumed his seat.
Questioned by newspaper mien af
ter his speech about the possibilities
of a third party movement, Borah In
dicated he had nothing of that kind
In mnd.
He emphasized that his objection
to supporting President Hoover on
the Republican platform was not
confined to his opposition to the
prohibition plank.
WASHINGTON, June 20 VP) Opon-
lng an attack on the Republican pro
hibition plank. Senator Borah B..
Idaho) told the senate today It was
adopted for ' "political expediency"
and that the convention was over
whelmingly for repeal of the 18th
amendment.
A crowded and Intent senate lis
tened to the Idaho orator ob he be
gan his long awaited speech on the
plank adopted by the Republican con
vention at Chicago last weeK lavoring
a submission of a new amendment.
Borah Draws Crowd
Word had gotten around that Borah
was to speak, and tho galleries were
crowded as well as the aenato floor.
Borah said he would confine his
remarks to the prohibition plank be
cause tho platform as a whole was
Inadequate" and "foil dead at tho
feet of the American people."
"It Is clear that the Republican
campaign wll: not be fought around
that singular platform," Borah said,
adding that It had ignored the "real
ities of the campaign." Ana me in
creasing demands of the people over
burdened with the depression.
Turning to the plank he choso to
discuss, Borah said It was "clear that
a majority of the members of the con
vention were for repeal of the
eighteenth amendment, naked re
peal." There were in tho convention, he
said, 204 delegates from the Demo
cratic states which will not send Re
publican electors to the electoral
college and more than 300 federal
officeholders who voted as they deem
ed It "politically expedient."
"Tho two who had most to do
with the drafting of the plank."
Borah sold, "were two members of
the cabinet, both of whom are open
ly and uncompromising for repeal."
He added he referred to Postmas
ter General Brown and Secretary
Mills.
Fes Interrupt
Senator Fess of Ohio, retiring
chairman of the Republican national
committee, Interrupted to say:
"I don't think you want to say
Mr. Brown opposed the eighteenth
amendment." ,
Borah said he had talked with
Brown a month ago and added he
would show he was for repeal In the
convention. 1
"Mills, who had most to do with
shaping the plank, has been an open
advocate of repeal for years," Borah
added.
"It Is clear the convention was
overwhelmingly for repeal of the
eighteenth amendment.
"If the Republican party's voice
was heard in that convention then
the Republican party Is for repeal
of the eighteenth amendment.
"Then why did they not declare
for naked repeal?
"It Is Just to say that those who
voted for the plank as adopted did
so for sheer political expediency."
