With the recent rains having fill-

is likely that oil tests over the

Senator William E Borah warned
today that unless the Republicans
select a presidential candidate who
will "take noza of the question of
monopoly" he will pursue the issue
outside, the party. '
"No party Shibboleths are going
to stand between me and the fight
for 50 millllion people who have
barely enough to live," declared the
veteran Idaho Senator in a cam-
paig address last night.
He said his own presidential as-
pirations meant little beside the
"real issues.”
Among these he listed rejuvena-
tion of the Republican party, “the
end of monopoly ana price fixing by
the fem," aloofness from foreign en-
tanglements. and the need for an

declared was "driving the Repub-

that time, and I believe that the

be accounted for by the fact that
the trees are a year older, but, as
