Burton is recognized as one Of the
men OF great ability in congress.
Notc mercedes he represent his
district with force and with industry
but he is known as one OF the small
group OF repre- sentatives who arr

Mayor Johnson has repeatedly said
that Burton's election was good for
the city. Now comes Mr.. Roosevelt
and intervenes once more in n local
issue He urged Burton to be

ton declared. But with the full
force of the administration back of
him. and with the record of John
sons ofrcpeated approval Of his
congressional policy, Mr. Burton has
been beaten, and beaten badly.
What Dos It Mean?
Washington is cynical town.
The people here, notably the mem.
bers Of either house of congress-
and the correspondents have not the
enthusiasm about the president that
is manifested in places further
away from the White House. The
story is current here that Mr. Bur.
ton was sent Ike lamb to the
slaughter. In congress he had OPP
posed the presidents plan for an
enormous increase of the navy. As
chairman of the rivers and harbors
committee he had antagonized the
plan for the development of western

less fight. Had he been elected he
would have been out of congress
and ceased to be a thorn in the
presidential flesh Defeated as he
is, he will not hold his old place
of influence in congress. And after
, the attacks he has made upon Tom
Johnson. personally. it is not prob
able that in the next congressional
election he will be given a perfectly
fair field. There will be no more
men OF straw set up against Bur
ton. People wonder whether Mr..
Roosevelt did not urge him to run
in order that this result might not
be accomplished.
In Other States.
In Massachusetts the democratic
party lost. and lost deservedly. The
old organization party, the men who
cared less for democracy than for
