What was interpreted as the opening of Senator Borah's campaign for the presidency in 1928 took place last week in Baltimore. The Senator addressed the Presbyterian General Assembly, discussed the demand of antiprohibitionists for a referendum and exclaimed...

People are prone to think of the Presbyterian Church (North) as riven from top to bottom by five insuperable points of theology into the two parties, Modernist and Fundamentalist.

This circumstance, which seems to unite in him the sentiments of orthodoxy and reform, joins with his heritage from the west where the anti-saloon league did its systematic best, to make the Idaho Senator a man marked for the cause. Indeed, Mr. Borah possesses a Bryanesque build and the same loud sympathies which gave the commoner his crusading character. And both won fame from the power of invective.
