ma BULWARK OF AMERICAN LIBERTIES IS
THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER
BURTON'S GOODS ON THE SHELF
r*
The selection of Congressman Theodore
Burton of Ohio to serve as temporary chair
man of the Republican National Convention
and, presumably, to deliver what is commonly
known as the keynote speech, is in all impor
tant particulars entirely in harmony with the
general policy and purpose of the present ad
ministration. The Coolidge regime, like that
of President Harding, has been emphasizing
reduction of expenses and reduction of taxa
tion. Probably no one who has ever served in
Congress has a better-known record in that
respect than has Mr. Burton. In fact the Ohio
legislator's critical inspection of all appropri
ation bills has often caused his colleagues to
think that he is overzealous in that regard.
However that may be, he is thoroughly well
qualified to sound economy as a keynote for
the coming campaign.
Like President Coolidge, Representative
Burton is not very long on talk. He has never
made any pretense of being an orator and yet
he has been a very interesting and instructive
speaker during discussions in both the House
and the Senate. His addresses are always
clear, logical and easily read.
Mr. Burton has the unusual distinction of
having served first in the House, then in the
Senate, and again in the House. His first ser
vice was in 1889-1891, but after one term he
remained out of Congress four years after
which he was returned for eight terms, from
the last of which he resigned when elected to
the Senate for the term 1909 to 1915. He was
out of the Legislative Branch of the Govern
>. ment from 1915 to 1921, in which latter year
he returned to the Lower House.
v Service in the Legislative branch of the
Government is only part of Mr. Burton's ex
perience in public life. Under appointment
by President Roosevelt he served from 1907
to 1909 as Chairman of the Inland Waterways
Commission and from 1909 to 1912 as Chair
man of the National Waterways Commission,
created by Congress to give a thorough study
to the problem of waterway improvement.
He served as a member of the National Mone
tary Commission from 1908 to 1912—the com
mission which formulated the financial poli
cy the most important features of which were
ultimately embodied in the Federal Reserve
System. He is known as a deep student of
and authority upon important problems of
national finance.
As a member of the Inter-Parliamentary
Union for ten years, from 1904 to 1914, during
which time he participated in meetings at St.
Louis, London, Geneva, Paris, and The
Hague, Burton acquired a thorough and prac
tical knowledge of international problems.
He is a member of the Debt Funding Commis
sion which has rendered such splendid and
successful service in adjusting debts due the
United States. Service in three National
Conventions, 1904, 1908 and 1912, increased
his acquaintance with public leaders through
out the nation and gave him experience ofl
value in presiding over the deliberations of a
convention.
Mr. Burton's early training was that of a
lawyer in which profession he practiced for
ten years prior to his first election to Con
gress. During two years of his latest absence
from Congress he was,president of the Mer
| chants National Bank of New York City. He
t
i
I
has written a number of well known and
highly esteemed works, among them "Fin
ancial Crisis and Periods ofl Industrial and
Commercial Depression." "Life of John
Sherman." "A Treatise on Corporations and
the State," and a discussion of "Some Politi
cal Tendencies of the Times and the Effect
of the War Thereon." the latter being his
latest literary production.
WHEELER WAS INDICTED IN MONTANA
Word was sent out of Washington several
days ago to the effect that the indictment of
Senator Wheeler, by a regular constituted
United States court in Montana, had become
a boomerang against the Republicans on that
very day and date for the reason that Blair
Coan had made the statement in Washington
that he had been sent out to Montana to in
vestigate beth Wheeler and Walsh and that
now the Republican National committee
would have to face the vengeance of Mr.
Walsh.
Therefore they seem to think down at the
national capital that Walsh can even set aside
the action of the federal courts and do any
thing else he may please to do in Montana,
paper said in the first place, when the inves
tigation started in Washington, that it would
amount to no more than a complete "White
wash of Wheeler by the members of the com
mittee. That the committee in Washington
would never see the evidence which was ad
duced before the grand jury upon which
wheeler's indictment was based.
Now comes George B. Lockwood and cor
roborates what the Chronicle has heretofore
stated. Mr. Lockwood, in answer to an at
tack by Senator Walsh says;
Intimidation, of which Senator Walsh
complains," said Mr. Lockwood, "has been
the biggest factor in producing a situation
wherein so many men charged with the duty
of defending the republican party have taken
their licking lying down.
So far as the Wheeler case is concern^
the only 'frame-up' in that connection is the
effort which has been made to discredit and
and break down a thoroughly "grounded case
pronounced good by every officer of the de
partment of justice who has examined the
evidence, including the attorney general.
Most of the evidence has never even been
looked at by the senate committee engaged
in investigating the case and little of it has
reached the public.

SMITH OR MCADOO—WET OR DRY
Quite often sport writers of national repu
tation make very poor guesses on events to
come. We remember that one of the widest
known and most skillful of all the sport writ
ers and prophesiers was dead sure that Car
penter was going to be the winner in his lit
little melee with Dempsey a few years ago.
This writer had it all doped out and could
tell just the exact reason why Carpenter was
coming off winner.
And the same thing exists in the ranks of
national political writers. Some times they
make just as poor guesses as some of we fel
lows way out here in the "sticks", as they call
our place of habitation. In fact, with most of
the writers, every place is the "sticks" out
side of New York and Washington.
Anyway here comes one of the best known
of the writers for metropolitan newspapers
and tells us that when the democrats meet in
national convention down ip New York, that
the whole outcome will dest on the wet and
dry question.
The way he dopes it out is, if it is found that
a majority of the delegates are dry, McAdoo
will be the nominee, and just so surely as the
wets are in the majority, Governor Al Smtih
of New York will be the nominee.
This writer says that the rapid growth of
the Smith boom has surprised even the Smith
boomers themselves and now comes a very
prominent democratic editor ofl Montana,
who says some very nice things of Governor
Al.,among them being the statement that he
has made one of the very best governors the
state of New York has ever had. But the
Montana editor does not agree with the other
writer above quoted. He says that neither
McAdoo or Smith will have anything like the
necessary two-thirds of the delegates, "which
will leave plenty of room for dark horses."
The gentleman of the national prominence
practically states there will; fcç no dark hors
es. That it wlil be a straight show down, wet
or dry and Al. Smith will be the nominee if
the convention is a wet one.
Sizing up the general situation we are in
clined to the opinion that the Montana edi
tor is right and the national writer is wrong.
