A0 » REICH FORTIFING BORDER STRONCLY Ring of Concrete and Steel Being Built to Guard Frontier. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, October 14.—Bristling lines of concrete fortifications and artillery emplacements are rising around Ger- many’s borders today. Ten gun bases have been started on focky Helgoland Island off the Schles- wig coast, while workmen speed con- struction of other forts along the west- ern and southeastern frontiers. In addition, the Helgoland marine harbor, destroyed by the Allies after the World War, is being rebuilt, Most of the Helgoland defense bases have been located on top of the rocky nsular point where four large em- placements have been built and guns already moved into place. Half a dozen smaller gun positions are under eonstruction in other sections. e Lincoln (Continued From First Page.) Borah has always been elected to the Senate by the vote of the common people. To his support have rallied Democrats as well as Republicans. It is that kind of support, that kind of | people, who it today seems in this State will be the principal support of | Roosevelt. There is the chance that &t Borah came out flat-footed for Landon, enough of these people would #urn against him to defeat him. I say ehance for it is entirely possible that Borah would be re-elected in any event. 1t has been urged that if Borah came out for Landon, his per- | sonal support might result in the vic- tory of Landon over the New Deal President. It is only fair to the senior Senator from Idaho to say that if he | firmly believed he could bring about the election of a Republican President | at this time, he would not fail to| 0 to the front for Landon, even issues. Keeping Own Counsel. Though it might mean sacrificing his own chances of re-election. But if he should indorse Landon, and Landon should not be elected, and | Borah himself should lose, the Re- publican party would be shy another Senator. And the Senate itself would | be Iacking one more member who | would fight to the end to defeat any New Deal measure which threatened | $o avoid or to break down in any way the Constitution or to ham-string the full powers of the Supreme Court and | the Federal Courts. These are merely surmises. Senator Borah is keeping his own counsel. In the meantime he is campaigning vigorously through- out the State for election against a resourceful candidate. During the Summer and Autumn Borah has gone up and down the State, meeting the people, talking with them, renewing old acquaintances. He is an adept at this. He makes no more fuss and feathers about it than his erstwhile cowboy opponent, who as Governor. for the last six years has n con- stantly in touch with the people, and who knows, it seems, almost every one and can call them by their first names. Now Borah has taken to the stump. On the Hustings, Borsh is devastat- ing in his sincerity and in his lucid discussions of issues he has been & silver man all his political career. Campaigned for Dubois. A young man, in 1896 he campaigned for Fred Dubois, & silver Republican seeking election to the Senate. Idaho has been a silver State. The Town- sendites are friendly to Borah and their Jeader E. C. Davis, has endorsed him. Bryon Defenbach, s Townsendite, whom Borsh defeated in the primaries is now supporting the Idaho Senator. Gov. Ross has been handicapped this last couple of months by illness. He is just getting about again, and is starting off tomorrow to campaign in all parts of the State. He figures, however, that he can make only 15 speeches between now and the wind- up of the campaign, in 15 of the most populous of Idahos 44 counties. Like Borah, the Governor has shown him- self an adept campaigner in the past. But he has never before tackled an opponent like the senior Senator. I met the Governor at the capital not long before he started on his tour. Tall, slender, with gray hair and a humorous twinkle in his eye, an easy talker, it is not difcult to understand that he has way with the voters, tco. He is entirely confident that Roosevelt will win, by 30,000 votes or so. It is Roose- velt's candidacy that really gives Gov. Ross his chance, if he has one, in the fight with Borah. If the senatorial race was uncomplicated by the presi- dential campaign, Borah doubtless would beat the Governer three to one or even more, despite Ross’ popularity. That Ross is leaning heavily on the support which Roosevelt gives him is clearly indicated in the campaign which the Democrats are waging to educate the voters to vote the ticket “straight.” If enough of the Roosevell supporiers mark their ballots only cuce, and that once for a straight ticket, there is the possibility that Ross might win, so the cry has gone forth from the Democratic State headquart- ers to “vote her straight.” Suppose that all, or nearly all of the people who vote for Roosevelt should vote a straight Democratic ticket, and that Roosevelt should carry the State by 30,000 votes. Under such circum- stances, it would be practically impos- sible for Borah to win. It is a danger which the Borah campaigners are tak- ing into consideration. However, it | is dollars to doughnuts that nothing like that will happen, there will be & great many split tickets, i favor of Borah. Borah may not be talking in favor of the Republican national ticket, but it is certain that Gov. Ross will lose no opportunity to speak for the Roosevelt ticket. And yet there have been times when Roes, quite independ- " 2nt and at odds with some of the things which the New Dealers have been doing. Today, however, he is very sure that Roosevelt has helped the farmers sad the laborers and the poor gen- erally. Gov. Ross told me that he intended | to make his fight for the Senate on State issues. Calls Borah an in- loose jointed, comparatively | THE . EVENING STAR, WASHINGT ternationalist and dubs himself an Idshozn. He quotes former Gov. Pin- chot of Pennsylvania as saying that the State of Pennsylvanis is as much interested in the re-election of Borah 22 is the State of Idaho. What Idaho needs, Ross insists, is & Senator whose attention shall be given to Idaho. “Every man should be given work,” Ross ssid. “I have figured it out that a man should be entitled to $3.33 & day at least, or $1,000 a year for his labor. This country is capable of giving men such opportunity for work and pay. “There was & man in my office today, A man with a family. He had lost his farm in North Dakota. He has been in Idaho only eight months, not long enough to get a W. P. A. job. ‘There were tears in the man’s eyes. I say that jobs should be provided for men, no matter where they are from. If-the selfishness could be taken out of the men with great wealth, all the trouble, all the problems of jobs for men, could be solved.” Sonie of the things Ross plans for the State, include the conservation of %fly& Hgpn “ 1¢ A TABLET!
