8 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, 3IAT 6, 1917. PRESSURE IS TO BE BROUGHT BORAH Idaho Republicans Are to Make Last Effort to Induce Sen ator to Reconsider. PARTY TO LOSE LEADER Argument Is Advanced That Retire ment Now Would Be Great Blow to West and That Decision Should Be Postponed. BOISE, Idaho, May 6. (Special.) 'Jl movement is under way among prominent Republicans to Induce Sena tor Borah to reconsider his decision to retire from public service after his present term expires. They take the stand that the senior Senator's retirement at this time when the Nation faces a crisis would be a distinct loss to the West and partic ularly for Idaho. Every pressure will be brought to bear upon him in the hope that he can be influenced to change his mind. The close friends of Senator Borah, however, believe that the efforts will be useless. James H. Gipson, chairman of the Progressive State Central Committee and vcle-chairman of the Hughes Alli ance for this state during the last campaign, is one the leaders active in bringing influence to bear on Senator Borah to reconsider his decision. He suggests that 2000 or 8000 clti rens file his nomination papers for the Republican primaries in 1918. He be lieves that if this is done Senator Borah, will respond to the call of the people and stand for re-election. Republicans Iaelc Ladei, tVlfh the retirement of Senator Borah, the Republican party In this staate will be without a leader. One may be developed within the next two years. The Republicans have control of the delegation in Congress but the Democratas are in complete control of Federal and state offices and patron age. The Dubois and antl-Dubols split of' some years back has been healed. The Nugent and anti-Nugent cplit threatened to disrupt the party a year ago at the Pocatello conven tion but was avoided. Both factions were represented in the distribution of Federal and state patronage. However, the efforts to be put forth among the Democratic leaders to suc ceed Senator Borah in the United States Senate may find some of the old sores as yet unhealed. John F. Nugent and James H. Hawley, heretofore political enemies, are prospective candidates. Kirtland I Perky, who heldhe recess appointment of United States Senator, is also prospective timber, as are Gov ernor Alexander and Jerome J. Day. Several SeeK Toga. Within the Republican ranks the ame factional divisions are found. James F. Ailshle, former unsuccessful candidate who it is announced will be a candidate to succeed Senator Borah, lost the fight before the Legislature four years ago because of the attack made upon him by the Progressives. That fight will be largely eliminated when he enters the race. But contesting the nomination with him in the north may be Burton I French, just as they contested the nom ination, and both unsuccessfully, two years ago. In the south Frank R. Gooding and others may get into the race. There has been conflict between the Gooding and Senator Brady factions for some years. In the effort to hold the Sena torshlp within the Republican party this may be eliminated in 1918. Rep resentative Addison T. Smith also has been mentioned as a possible candi date, but party leaders here believe that the Senior Congressman will be content to hold his seat in the lower house. He was re-elected at the last general election. HOME GUARQ. ORGANIZED Prosscr Citizens Will Aid Local Peace Officers. PROSSER, Wash., May 6. (Special.)

An application has been received by the Public Service Commission from Ira C. Barber, of Willamina, asking for a position as deputy grain inspector un der an act of the last Legislature. It is considered possible that Mr. Barber's application cannot be consid ered, as he was a member of 'the last Legislature, and the constitution in hibits the appointment of any member of the Legislature to a place of profit, when that place was created by the Legislature of which he was a member. MR. HAWLEY IS IN CHARGE Secretary McAdoo Asks for Data on Bonds That May Be Taken. SALEM, Or., May S. (Special.) Rep resentative W. C.

Demon stration Train to Close Campaign This Week In Lower Will amette .'Valley Towns. BT ADDISON BENNETT. CANBT, Or., May 5. (Special.) Every member of the Southern Pacifio O. A. C. food preparedness campaign party. I think, feels that this, the closing day of the second week of the tour, has been one of the most satisfactory of the trip. This comes largely from the fact that the splendid people of Wood burn had the matter well in hand be fore our arrival. As a rule Saturday is a bad day for work of this kind. The schools not being in session It is not possible to get the students of the higher grades together, and the success of .the trip is largely dependent upon the interest taken In the work by near-grown men and women attending the high schools; the next most Important factor is to have a city or county superintendent who will put his heart in the work. And these conditions hinge largely upon a citizens' committee of active and energetio persons. The committee formed at Woodburn Is one of the best that has been se lected on the tour. It consists of the following persons, every one of whom is an active worker for the upbuilding of the little city: Mayor John Steel hammer, chairman; Professor William Mlshler, superintendent of schools: H. L. Gill, editor and proprietor of the Woodburn Independent; Mrs. Blaln Mo Cord, president of the Woman's Club; Mrs. Fred Dose, president of Home Guard; Hon. J. M. Poorman, banker; F. L. Beck, president of the Woodburn Retail Merchants' Association; W. F. Buss, secretary of the same; William Moore, and George Landon. secretary of the Woodburn Clearing House Asso ciation. We arrived at Woodburn early In the morning and remained there until 2 P. M., all of the meetings, demonstra tions and conferences being held in the car, and the people turned out far be yond our expectations. There was an unusually large number of farmers and farmers' wives, and these as a rule were the most intent listeners and the most persistent questioners in the au dience. When we arrived at Canby we found the preparations all that could be asked for, and all of the citizens were apparently deeply Interested in the work. The committee selected here was also an exceptionally strong one, as can be seen by a list of the names: Mayor W. JL Bair, chairman; II. II. Eccles, superintendent of schools; Mrs. M. J. Lee, of the Canby News: Harry Evans, Dr. H. A. Dedman, president of me Jfirst National Bank; Arthur Graham, banker, and Andrew Kocker. -At the conclusion of the meetings here tonight the party will in a way disperse for a Sunday rest. Some will" go to Corvauis and others to Portland. They will assemble here at 9 o'clock Monday morning to take up the work for the third and last week of the cam paign, which ends at Independence next Saturday. During the week we will visit the following towns: Oregon City, Dallas, Sheridan, McMinnville. New berg, Hlllsboro, Forest Grove, Mon mouth and Independence. - ABERDEEN FOLK GARDEN Boy Scouts Raising Food for Soldier Apiece. ABERDEEN, Wash, May 6. (Spe clal.)
