Borah birthday marks stand on 1940 politics
On his seventy fourth birthday Senator Borah of Idaho voiced that Americans will not accept a reactionary candidate in 1940. He argued a political revolution occurred in 1932 and urged opposition to concentrated power. He avoided campaigning for a specific GOP candidate. He also backs Douglas' Supreme Court nomination but fights repeal of the arms embargo. Revenue freight loadings rise slightly over the prior week and show year over year gains.
