Perhaps the most interesting cleo
ticn to take place this fall in the
Hsole country is the one for Mayor
of cleveland, where Mayor Tom l..
johnson, Democrat, who has hereto
fore beaten every opponent, is being
vigorously and aggressively OPP
posed by Congressman Theodore
Burton, who is receiving the support
OF the President Of the United States
himself. It Is no secret that Mr..
Roosevelt wants Burton elected, and
he wants il badly, for the effect it
IS apt to have on the Republican
situation in the State OF Ohio, where
Barton and Foraker are wrestling
for supremacy. 1t cannot be doubt
ed that Mr.. Burton's election over
such formidable opponent as Tom
johnson would give him a wide
range OF influence in the Buckeye
State, and would thus, to that eN-
tent. weaken the senior Senator. 1t
is therefore not to be supposed that
Senator Foraker is losing much sleep
ia trying 80 aid Burton, though he is
a loyal party man and will doubt
less do his duty, though only that.
But Burton, in slang parlance, is up
against it and has met ioeman
worthy OF his steel, and one who Is
more than apt to bring him down 10
defeat. johnson has been Uniform
ly successful In Cleveland, time and
again coming out successful in Cruel
ling contests, only the last time de-
feating bis opponent by a majority
OF nearly twelve thousand, and this
year his friends say, though this may
be taken with a grain OF salt, that
his majority viii be equally great.
There is no questioning the fact that
MIR. Burton has made great sac
rifce In accepting the mayoralty
nomination and he will in all proba-
bility be boxed after by the admin
istration IL defeated, and will lose
little or no prestise as heShas been
