WASHINGTON Feb. 4
Senator Borah to-dav became the first definite aspirant for the office now held by Pr«-sidenf Roosevelt when ho .announced that ho would actively contest for the Republican Presidential nomination and would seek convention delegates pledged to him In the Ohio primaries as the first step towards nomination.
So far Senator Borah’s ■ principal opposition appears to be Governor Lan- • don of Kansas and Colonel Knoz, proprietor of the Chicago Daily News. Neither has definitely announced himself as a candidate but both indicated that they would contest the nomination, Eastern conservatives are forming strong support for Governor Lan--don even though he is a western man, and it appears likely now r according to political observers that a bitter interjiarty fight between the Conservatives and Progressives will result with the former backing Landon and the latter -Borah. The support for Colonel Knox has not yet crystalised.
