Adequate Financial Backing For Borah
In Presidential Campaign Is Promised
, . . . - —----------------
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. — ®E) ,to draw back now would be to ident Roosevelt. Those persons are
Adequate financial backing was
assured today for the presidential
candidacy of Senator William E.
Borah. While the money has not
been definitely pledged, it became
apparent that Borah would not lack
campaign funds. ,
This development, coupled with
a formal avowal by Borah that he
would “cooperate fully” with lib-
eral forces choosing him aa their
candidate, placed the Idaho veteran
for the first time squarely on rec-
ord as willing to contest the presi-
dency with the incumbent.
Borah has not said in so many
words that he is a candidate. But
versed In the intricacies of
*d that his flats-
e same end,
break faith with those who have
been given permission to advance
his name to state primaries.
Borah has told intimates that he
would not be able personally to fi-
nance a campaign. He is in league
with the regular Republican organ-
ization and could not call upon It
for funds. He would like to repre-
sent himself as a poor man’s candi-
date, relying solely on popular sup-
port for whatever public honors are
accorded him.
That is not a strictly accurate
representation. Borah wjll have
among his supporters Republicans
who are not Borah admirers but
who believe he is the only RepuWi-
caw. with sufficient
willing to finance any endeavor
which in their opinion gives the best
prospect of ousting the present ad-
ministration. t
Friends of the senator say he is
thinking of a presidential candidacy
only in toe terms ef a popular cam-
paign, divorced from regular ma-
chine politics and relying on a spon-
taneous uprising of the citizenry
for its principal strength.
Others in the Republican organ-
ization who are interested more in
defeating Mr. Roosevelt than they
are in the doctrines of their own
candidate, believe that in Borah the
