BOIIAII IN OHIO
“Rightly or wrongly, the
Republican Party has been
charged in recent years
with having little sym
pathy for the average man
or woman”, said Senator
William E Borah in announ
cing his candidacy for the
G. O P Presidential nomina
tion in the form of a re
markable “open statement”
addressed to the Republi
can voters of Ohio.
“The charge has often
been made”, he continued,
“that by reason of its long
length of power the party
became indifferent to the
questions of popular gov
ernment.”
Hence he said it would be
at least “reassuring” if Re
publicans in Ohio would
comply with the law of the
state and express their pre
ference for a standard bear
er at their May primary in
stead of supinely obeying
the October mandate of the
Republican State Commit
tee that delegates to the
Cleveland convention shall
be “absolutely uninstruct
ed.”
Borah’s thrust at ex-Sen
ator Simeon D. Fess of Oh
io, former chairman of the
Republican National Com
mittee, was as pitiless as his
denunciation of the star
chamber tactics of the Re
publican high command in
selecting amenable nomin
ees.
“Mr. Fess has said pub
licly that he is very much
opposed to my nomination”
said the Idahoan to the Oh
ioans. “I am told he is for
Mr. Hoover. Very well; it
would not be discreditable
for him to say so publicly.
He should take the people
of his state which has so sig
nally honored him, into
their confidence and thus as
sist in securing an unhamp
ered expression of the vot
ers as the law provides.
“The truth is, and there
is no need to try to conceal
it, that the ‘favorite son’
proposition is a sham and
a deception. Likewise the
uninstructed delegation id
ea is to enable all kinds of
trading and manipulating
in the selection of a man
for the high office of the
Presidency.
“Mr. Fess also says that
if we are to have the New
Deal, then why not vote for
President Roosevelt direct
instead of for me? That is
important but it is equally
important to know what
kind of a deal Mr. Fess is
for.
“My opinion is that
while the people may have
some objections to the New
Deal, they are not going
back to the Old Deal. They
at least want a Square
Deal.”
Senator Borah's evident
purpose of smoking out Dr.
Fess was almost instantan
eously successful. The scath
ing response of the former
Chairman of the GOP was
in the form of an open state
ment not only to Ohio but
to the world. He declined to
state whom he might favor
for the Republican Presi
dential nomination, except
that he “could be for Hoov
er without any apology.”
“The Republican stand
ard bearer”, he insisted,
must have a record of hav
ing supported more Repub
lican measures than Dem
ocratic measures—” having
reference to the fact that
Borah voted for 12 of the
17 major New Deal laws.
Among other imperative
qualifications he listed;
The nominee must stand
for a protective tariff; he
must permit a citizen to
live his own life; he must
stand for the open door of
opportunity; he must stand
for private industry; he
must stand for sound mon
ey.
To which Senator Borah
declined further comment,
but the word from Ohio was
that the GOP state commit
tee would change its strat
egy from requiring “abso
lutely uninstructed” delega
tes and violate the other Bo
rah warning by putting up
a “favorite son” in the May
primaries to serve as a
stalking horse at Cleveland.
—Exchange.
Your city, town, or com
munity is just what you
make it. If you are not suf
ficiently interested in its af
fairs to be willing to as
sume a share of the burden
of conducting it, how can
you expect it to be efficient
ly and economically man
aged?
A hearty laugh is often
as good, if not better, than
a hearty meal.
