Candidacies of Borah and Landon in Clash-Third Party Threatening
WASHINGTON, March 30.--Prospective collisions in the campaigns to nominate U. S. Senator William E. Borah of Idaho and Gov. Alfred M. Landon of Kansas for the presidency challenges the peace of mind of many Republicans.
Endorsement of his candidacy by Dr. F. E. Townsend, originator of the $200-a-month pension plan for persons over 60, was welcomed by Senator Borah, although it was only the personal endorsement of Townsend and did not necessarily represent the will of the organization.
Gov. Floyd B. Olson of Minnesota again proposed a third-party movement at the state Farmer-Labor Convention in St. Paul, a move which does not help the G. O. P.'s peace of mind.
