Senator Vandenberg ot Michigan, who yesterday counseled against "bandwagon rush" for any can didate, ' today spent active hours In conversation with men from a dozen states. Nor was Borah's statement that he would join no organized move ment against Landon taken to mean that he would yield hid posi tion as a rival candidate. "My first interest is in the plat form," said Borah to the ' loyal group ot Idaho delegates, and fol lowed this up with a series of statements.

River's Supply Here Favored North Santiam Superior Quality But Wells to I Be Cheaper, Held (Continued from Page 1) that wells producing one-half to one million gallons each per day may be obtained either along the Willamette river north of Salem or. a short distance north of Tur ner, the report says. Mill creek probably feeds the underground supply near Turner,' Hill believes. The well ai-ea north of Salem would i require a 300-foot pump ing head and therefore be out of the question, as would wells from the district between Stayton and Turner because of the distance from Salem, he indicates. The report estimates the ann ual costs, based on present water consumption,, for debt' service, maintenance and operation of four possible supply systems, taking costs ' somewhat higher than, have been predicted by the city's engineers for the North Santiam gravity system and lower than the city's estimates for a well system. These estimates Hill offers as follows: j. Thlrty-six'inch gravity pipeline and Stayton island infiltration gal lery, delivering 16 mjllion gal lons per day, $65,000; 33-inch line from Stayton island, 12 mil lion, gallons per dayj $60,000; wells and pumping plants, 10 mil lion gallons per day. 145,000; combination. 22-inch gravity line from Stayton island with booster plant and wells and 1 pumping plants of six million gallons per day, $60,000. tickets they produced wer the product of behipd-the-scene bos slsm.

Yet Borah himself charges that often the CLEVELAND, June 8.P)-A1T ternately praised and disapprov ed the Kansas delegation' pro posed farm plank moved toward the republican national conven tion today as the leading bidder for consideration by the platform committee. . --. - . Spokesmen for both the Borah and Knox camps gave It tanta mount approval or unobstructed right-of-way and no other atate delegation or convention group came forward with an alternate plan. ? . ' Through President Edward A O'Neal, the American Farm Bu reau federation criticised some features It called a .backward step from the program of the Roose velt administration. ; " Cardinal principles of the plan embrace a tariff -equivalent sub sidy for surplus crop producers and federal benefits to operators of "famlly-Blred" farms who co operate; with a locally administer ed soil conservation program. Representative Fish (R-NY), a friend of Senator Borah, said the Idahoan, In the absence of a farm plank ot his own, had raised no objection to the Kansas proposal. Supporters of Coldnel Frank Knox said the Chicagoan would not oppose the program but that he still believed; In Tiis original proposal that soil conservation payments be made ; from ' collec tion of Import duties and not to exceed $800,000,000 annually.. fsjsjsiMBBHBMBWWBBWWMlgs sr - v- Mary, you're fl & the only person I .
