Ben Ross, Idaho's lean ex-cowboy Gover- nor, announced today for the Demo- cratic nomination for the United States Senate seat William E. Borah has held 30 years, Thus a Ross-Borah battle in the gen- eral election—a conflict looked forward to since Ross long ago hinted of sena- torial ambitions—became a possibility. Senator Borah told Idaho Republi- cans Thursday he would be “willing” to run again. Ross will have at least one other opponent in the August 11 primary—Leslie Aker, prominent Boise attorney. Some friends of Borah hope to obtain a clear fleld for him if he comes out definitely. There are other Republican aspirants in the picture now. The tall, graying Governor, a canny campaigner and the only native Ida- hoan ever to reach the office, declared for “liberal” old-age pensions and a “redistribution of wealth through an adequate tax on the profits of industry to be levied on a graduated scale based on net income.” He said he would advocate public | works to give employment to labor not absorbed by private industries, and added { “I think the States should be given authority to decide what projects are to be tuilt and the places they are lo- cated—and that the Federal Govern- ment provide the funds.” political figures go when he left the saddle to serve three terms as county commissioner of Canyon County. Later he became mayor of Pocatello. In 1930 a boyhood prediction that he would one day be Governor of Idaho was realized—and he became the only | man in the State’s 46-year history to serve three terms.
