is not to be placed at the head Of the
new county organization Mr.. Burton
has been advised TO come to Cleveland
and look over the situation. Mr.. Frank
Chandler, United States marshal from
this district, who is supposed to repre-
sent Senator Hanna, makes this state
ment concerning the affair:
1t is my honest opinion that Mr..
Burton has not only been nisinformed.
but that he has been maIiciousIy mis-
informed Someone has deliberately
lied TO him concerning the organization
OF the county committee We cannot ex-
plain matters to Mr.. Burton at long
range, and We think Mr. Burton should
be asked to come to Cleveland as soon
as possible. or before he reaches q con-
ciusion in the matter of remaining On
OF Withdrawing from the ticket, and
study the situation for himself.
Concerning a Compromise.
''As to the reported compromise propo-
sition. wish to say that Mr. Burton has
always had campaign OF advisory
committee of his own. and there is no
objection to his having one in the an
preaching campaign The county COM
mittee IS perfectly willing to work In
harmony with any committee that Mr.
Burton may appoint. and the committed.

iican success. 5ut any proposition hav-
ing for its purpose the complete sub

ever. that the country committee VIII

besides Mr.. Burton who have a principle
at stake in this matter. Ever member
Of the county committee was honestly
elected and they were elected to repre-
sent the Republicans Of their respec-
tive wards and townships in the official
organization Of the party. It is to those
committeeman that the Republicans
look for advice and instructions in ref
erence 10 the conduct OF the campaign.
Mr. Abel was honestly elected as chair
man OF the committee. The members of
the committee exercised their rights
when they voted for chairman. Mr..
Abel has self-respeet and do not see
any reason why he should step down and
out of a place which morally. legally and
in every way rightfulIy belongs to him. -
