Interest here among republican
party leaders centers in the report
that friends are actively engaged try

republican state convention at Poca

States senator.
COOLIDGE'S RECORD LIKED
Senator's Close Friend and Polit
; ical Adviser Lauds Presidential
Candidate; Predicts Election.
BOISK. Idaho. June 19. (Special.)
While Senator Harding is looked
upon as representing the more con
servative wing of the party, and
Idaho is classed as a progressive re
publican state, the fact that the pres
idential nominee has accepted the
platform adopted makes him satis
factory to Idaho progressive repub
licans. Tlie record of Governor Coolidge is
such that there is an inclination to
forget geographical lines and to lend
united support to the ticket. Idaho
republicans believe the issue is clear
cut, with the republican party pledged
against the Wilson league of nations.
Now that the national convention is
history, it is interesting to make an
analysis of the situation in Idaho in
sofar as the Borah and anti-Borah
sentiment is concerned. Republican
leaders concede that Senator Borah
won a distinct victory. His attitude
with regard to the league of nations
was supported by the plank driven
into the platform. John W. Hart, on
whom a fight was made at the Coeur
d'Alene convention and who is a close
personal friend of Borah, was re
elected national committeeman by
unanimous vote ot tne laano oeie
gates. Senator Borah was made the
center of an attack at the Coeur
d-Alene convention. If the Coeur
d'Alene convention did nothing else it
served to wai n Idaho's senior senator
that enemies Were active.
o Longer Talk of Bolting.
Senator Borah is expected home in
a few days. He will spend the sum
mer here, during which time he will
analyze the Idaho political situation
and will visit all parts of Idaho and
speak. During and since the Chicago
convention an attempt has been made
to make it appear that he was dis
satisfied with the national ticket and
was on the verge of bolting. It is
now known nothing is farther from
the truth. Close friends of Senator
Borah are satisfied with the national
ticket and on their return from the
convention have not hesitated to say
so. Their statements are taken to
be reflective of the attitude of Borah,
who, while he has made no statement,
is said to be well satisfied over the
outcome.
C. U. Cavanah of Boise, for many
years recognized as the close personal
friend and political adviser of Senator
Borah, who was in attendance at the
national convention, gave out a state
ment In which he says:
"The nomination of Senator Hard
ing was the happy solution of a prob
lem by a great convention, which has
nominated a man of great ability.
character and trained statesmanship.
His record in both public and private
life is clean. I predict his election.
There was no talk of bolt from those
of influence in the party."
Delegation' Split Reviewed.
The prediction!!) made that the eight
Idaho delegates Svould split about 60
at Chicago appear to have been
about correct. The Wood managers
claimed that they had seven of the
eiKht delegates. At no time during
the voting at Chicago did they have
more than five. These five were

Twin Kalis and Jenness of Nampa.
tluthrie was claimed by both factions.
the Wood and the anti-Wood. It is
claimed he gave assurances to both
that he would support them. It was j
favorable to the so-called Borah pro
gramme that the Borah backers had
consented to accepting him as one of
the delegates. When he voted con
sistently for Wood the Borah faction,
of course, ascertained in just which
camp he was really in. The delega
tion split their votes between five
different candidates. On each ballot
Wood received five votes. On the
next three ballots he received but
four and on the last ballot but three.
Hawley for Vice-President.
While the republican national con
vention did not nominate a western
man for vice-president, Idaho has one
to present to the democratic national I
convention- in James H. Hawley of
Boise, who was indorsed by the dem- i
ocratic state convention at Lewiston I
this week for that position. "The I
only move made at the convention
that I was not entirely in accord with
was my indorsement for, vice-presl-1
dent," he said. "I was absolutely op- j
posed to hampering the delegation 1
with Instructions of any kind, but I
was helplessly in the minority. It was
a personal compliment and I have not
the remotest idea of this action being
followed by affirmative action on the
part of the national convention. The
democrats elected 24 delegates to the

Hood River Orchardlst Says Wife

HOOD RIVER, Or., June 29. (Spe
