Sena tor Borahs game Is to build ftlnuelf up In the public mind ss the peo ples choice. Hi opportunity or doing it Is lim ited practically to two states, Illi nois and Ohio. He will 2Ue in others, but these are the two big ones, for him. XJnJess he can make a popular showing in these two central prt m t r i i, he Is Taut Jlallon through as a major force. Insiders of both camps believe that. A personal survey among men who know their politics in those states indicates that his chances right now are rather discouraging. The Republican authorities to Chi cago are privately guessing his maxi mum delegate possibilities at leas than half the Illinois delegation. Their estimates run down to mini mum e-pectation of scattering sup port. The Ohio primary has not been canvassed because the primary is a month later. May 13. But here, also, Jew will even give him halt and most authorities rate him down to a mini mum of a half dozen or so. While these are merly Inconclusive expert guesses, they afford a valuable hint that all Is not well with the Borah candidacy. Clever Republican strategist know alt this. They figure Borah already stopped. But even so, they are un happy. The wisest of them tear the aftermath of a warm Borah person ality crap. They wonder how large the wounds will be, and whether these can be healed by election time. Nothing that Borah has said or threatened up to now is considered dangerous to party harmony. But the stump campaign in both states la Just beginning. Word has lately come from trust worthy Borah sources in Washington that his coming speeches will be dig nified. Unless someone else starts getting unnecessarily rough, he will not. It Is said. This hsa only half assuaged the apprehension. Pear of a rough-house has caused good many Republicans who like Borah more than the other candi dates to shy away from him. One Ohio leader manifested Borah leanings some wee Its ago, but since has re mained silent. Before the primary this same leader will be out against Borah. Thus. Mr. Borah seems to be caught in a crack. Good political Judges out this way do not put too much faith in the many polls you see nowaday. Not that they doubt the sincerity of the pollers. They merely believe that such evidence Is Inconclusive this yesr of all others. ' For one thing, the voters which the Kelly-Nssh organization will bring out on election day have certainly not been polled accurately by any of the pollers now In the field.
