Popular Favor.

Reluctantly.
NOT TO BE SOUELCHED.
NOT TO BE SQUELCHED.
file Can't Nominate Mckinley
viii DO Something Else.
Might Even Accept Chairman
ship of National Convention.

J. R Burton is nothing if not am
bilious. He has more plans to acquire
q reputation and to obtain prominence
than any other man. who has marched
with the political procession in Kansas.
Burton does not go in the ranks as
private. He wants to be close up to the
drums and among the marshals OF the
demonstration. He refuses TO be among
the citizens in carriages and on foot"
A few weeks ago it was announced
that Mr. Burton wanted to make the
speech nominating Mckinley for re-
election in the national convention at
Philadelphia.
Mr.. Burton is like a good many men
who apply for jobs under the state gov
eminent when administrations change.
They ask for a good thing and usually
close the letter by saying to the gov
ernor:
Please see that get that or some
thing equally as good
Mr.. Burton has adopted this plan. I'm
less he is permitted to renominate Nc
Kinley he wants something equally as
potent in placing him prominently be-
fore the Republicans Of the nation. To
this end and for these purposes he Will,
as a compromise, accept either of the
following places:
F'irSt-TO nominate Mckinley.
Second-To act as permanent chair
man OF the national convention.
Third-TO serve as temporary chair
man of the national convention.
Fourth-To nominate the vice presi-
dent.
Fifth-To second the nomination of
Mckinley.
For the two offices last named Mr.
Burton could use the speech which he
would prepare to occupy the first named
position. In nominating the vice presi-
dent all the change necessary would be
in the names. The seconding Of the
nomination of Mckinley would not
necessitate a new speech. Presiding
over the convention in the capacity of
either permanent or temporary chair
man would necessitate no preparation.
Mr.. Burton figures that he can load up
with a speech suitable for each of the
other purposes specified and at thesame
time be prepared to accept the respOn-
sibilities of chairman.
When Mr.. Burton told some of his
friends he desired to nominate McKin-
ley in the national convention he did not
betray the side lines which he would
gladly drop into if the other plan failed
Now the machinery has been set in
motion by which it is hoped the presi-
dent viii permit a Kansas man to place
his name before the Philadelphia con-
vention.
Figuring that Senator Baker who is
in close touch with Mckinley might in
terpose objections to this expression of
confidence in his opponent for the sena-
tOrial toga, the Burton managers have
selected the four additional posts of
honor which they will accept in the
event there are objections made to Bur-
tons first sought honor.
