formal announcement has been made
1T may be definitely stated that Rep

Congressman Burton since the in

closest friends and advocates and is
regarded as one of the best represent

United States.
Burton will leave Washington in

in case he is reelected to congress,
and in case Joseph Cannon IS again
reelected to congress to state wheth-

or not. Mr.. Kennedy knows his own
business best, and when the time
comes, If 1t should come, our Demo

Mr.. Kennedy stands on this foolish
question. Congressman Kennedy is
gentleman, and has the respect ana

smirched and he has done more fof
