Senator Of All the People.


Burlington Republican In report O.
July 4th exercises: "After the usua
exercises Senator Burton, the first
speaker, was introduced, and not
withstanding the continual din Of
fourth Of July explosives, the shouts
and hoarse cries Of the ball game, the
exciting contests in other sports,
thousands were closely packed about
the speakers stand and every word
Of his grafton was eagerly listened to
by the dense throng. The senator
did not indulge in many fights Of
oratory that he is SO capable of. 1t
was the 4th Of July and his talk was
along the line Of the great problems
OF the day, the wonderful advance
ment and the greatness Of our nation.
It was a pleasing speach and was
highly appreciated by the vast crowd.
The noted speaker threw politics to
the winds and talked largely on the
great problems and questions that
now confront US as a nation. 1t was
little out Of the ordinary and from
this fact 1t was highly appreciated.
And that is the kind Of senator MIR.
Burton is. He 10 q senator Of the
whole people Of Kansas. His time Is
entirely employed In solving the
great problems and studying the
vital tissues that come to us as time
goes by and as the history Of our ma
ton Is made. Senator Burton belongs
to no clique or clan. You never
heard Of q Burton machine and you
never will. In the twenty or more
years Of his public life in Kansas you
never heard or knew Of his being on
the wrong side Of any great question,
and so 1t will be with him when other
great questions come to be solved by
our national legislature. Kansas
now has two strong and able men in
the United States senate-J. R. Bur-
ton and Chester I. Long-and in the
language Of that great Ohio states
man, Mark Hanna, "let we'll enough
alone" And the rank and file, the
honest voters who would mot know a
political machine II they met one In
the road, are going to see to ii that
we'll enough is let alone. FL
