Robinson

Stumping up the Pacific Coast to Portland. Ore., Nominee Robinson turned east again last week. At Boise, Idaho, hometown of bearlike Senator Borah, he indulged in one of the most violent utterances of the campaign. Marking the difference between Borah the intellectually upright Senator and Borah the stump orator, Robinson cried: "The lone eagle abruptly ends his flight toward heavenly Utopia and swoops to perch himself on the filthy boughs with vultures."

Senator Borah's answer, in far-away-Tennessee and Kentucky, was to point at Nominee Robinson as an enemy of the protective tariff and to distinguish a conflict between Nominee Smith's and Nominee Robinson's pre-campaign attitudes on water power.

At Ogden, Utah. Nominee Robinson cried out upon "the appeal to passion and prejudice." En route from Boise to Ogden, he was presented with pheasants, venison, fruits of the land.

At Cheyenne, the Nominee promised a wage-protecting tariff which would at the same time strike at monopolies. He asked for "restoration of the Tariff Commission as an immortal fact-finding tribunal."

He visited Casper, Wyo., hard by the famed Teapot Dome and Salt Creek oil reserves. In cutaway and striped trousers, he sat down for "chow" with oil-drillers in a mess hall.
