HERRICK AFTER BURTON.
Former Governor of Ohio Would
Come to the senate.

Cleveland. March 30-That a shadow.
cast by the slender form OF former Gov.
Myron T. Herrick, has fallen over the
Senatorial prospects of Representative
Theodore E. Burton has become apparent.
Buttons activity in behalf OF a primary
election measure. which shall be enacted
in time to compel the choice of the Cuya-
h0ga County legislative candidates this
fail by that method, rather than in con-
vention is explained by a declaration
that Burton has been let into the secret
that Herrick. defeated for the governor
ship by Secretary Taft's anti-boss speech
in Akron three years ago. through his
labors for Taft's Presidential nomination
is the Taft Senatorial favorite.
Anger at this development was in
creased in the State convention. when
Burton. publicly credited with leading
Cuyahoga County. found that Herrick
was in absolute control Of 20 of the es
delegates. In this fact is the basis of his
fear of Herrick in a convention.
The legislative delegation nominated
this fall. If elected, will serve under the
two-term rule through the period in which
both Senator Foraker's successor and the
successor Of Senator Dick are TO he
named, and with Herrick in control Bur
ton fears the elevation Of Herrick. who
with Burton casts longing eyes Al the
mantel of Senator Hanna, and which de.
scended on Dick.
