(U.R) Sen ator William E. Borah, asserting big business interests "can not control me if I should become President," swung into the second leg of his downstate tour today. The Idahoan, opposing Col. Frank Knox in Illinois' April 14 preferential primary, headed for Spring field and Decatur after telling a Peoria audience last night: "One of the DuPont dynasty, which has been builded for 100 years? by exploiting common people, said I was a dangerous manLL He said he would take anybody but me for President.

On the basis of returns In Tuesday's election from six-sevenths of the State, all four Borah-pledged delegates-at-large and at least 16 district, delegates on his slate were elected over unpledged opponents backed by-the regular State party organization. The purely advisory preferential vote provided little basis for ac curate political observation.

Electors could put an behind Borah's name on the Republican ballot and still vote for the uninstructed dele gates his candidates were opposing. They also could leave the square behind Borah's name blank and vote for the candidates pledged to him. The situation was somewhat the" same on Democratic side except that in only a few districts anA in tha I n1nTntont-lnrfro rncp Were non-conference endorsed: candidates opposing the Roosevelt-pledged slate.
