4 STATEMENT FROM CONGRESSMAN
BURTON ON THE CONTROVERSY

Washington June % Representative Burton OF
Ohio, made the following statement to-day in re-
gard to the political controversy in his district:
the Republican candidates at Cleveland has been
clearly made il seems to have been very common

ton Of a cha .rman at the dictation CT federal
officials did not originate from desire to dictate
party management nor 70 assert any prerogative

opposed to each other. The voters in the city and
county had in the preceding two or three elections
shown their disapproval of this factionaI fight.
and this disa pprovaI had rested quite much
upon the committees chosen to manage political
campaigns unon the candidates themselves
The present candidates are not identified with
these factions, and they earnestly desired select
for the head Of the party committee a
identified with either. The personal element had
very little to do with their choice They chose
after consultation with men Of all factions. Mr..
Rowland. a young lawyer OF excellent standing
who met the demands OF the situation To show
that personal choice had little do with his Sc
lection. II may be SAID that OF three federal
officials. who afteTward made up the opposing
slate, cOngratulateS himself that he the very

this agreement seemed 10 be everywhere aCquiesced

thought to afford the means of entering the cam
paign without the handicap of party division. but
their wish was rudely disregarded. The naming
OF a by three four federal officials WIN
regarded identified with faction Of the
party must cause a revival Of the fsctional fight
which has continued for years and would
threaten the result of the election. The course
Of these officials. we feel sure, a grave error
particularly in view OF the fact that they had

GENERAL WOOD UPHELD.
SECRETARY ROOT ASSUMES RESPONSE
BILITY FOR PAYMENTS TO
GENERAL GOMEZ

Washington. June l6-Secretary Root has as
surned full responsibility for the payment OF
money 10 General Gomez by General Wood in
the American occupation Of Cuba, and If Con-
gress asks for an explanation he stands pre-
pared to furnish what he regards as the most
convincing proofs that the payments were die
tatee by the wisest craftsmanship. AT the War
Department high official stated the position of
the Secretary as follows:
The conditions in Cuba two years ago were
preearious. Not q Cuban believed that the
United States Government ever would with
draw from Cuba. and the half fan1ished vet
Grams of the Cuban army were in a dangerous
mood, and clanoring for their pay. General
Gomez was the head and front of their army
and had served the revolutionary cause as its
principal leader without having received cent
OF pay. General Wood thought, and Secretary
Root thought afterward. that General Gomez
was entitled to consideration: to a home which
was supplied him. and in which he entertained
his comrades, and TO an income. which last
might be set down q small offset TO the money
due Gomez from the Cuban Republic. That the
