date, walked right in and tmued
around and walked right out again,

hoisted the flag of retreat.
I'm accomplishing dis trsumph Con-
/ gressmlm Burton utterly routed the
/ leaders OF the present state organiza-
tion. His victory was won against
the determmned opposition of every
member of the organization inner
circle. This defeated crowd of pol
ticiams Is STRUGGLING to land Malcolm
tP. Jennings as c.erik or the Ohio
senate.
Burton STANDS for John r.. Nlalloy,
re-estabishcd in one of the lucrative
patronage berths, is Nike iron I'm the
soul of the organization leaders They
have bcseeched Burton for long hoars
to desert Malloy. Malloy was friend
ly to Burton when assistance was
needed.
Ito desert Malloy now would be 10
desert "a friend says Burton.
The organization wgl carry the
fight for jennings TO the senate eau.
Gus, but with little chance OF Sue
cess.
MiJh the exception of the senate
lerkship the organization OF both
branches OF the assembly was p!ac-
tically agreed upon as soom as She

There was a prolonged discussion
over the plerkship. Ccnlg .es-man
Burton was inclined to support for
m2r Representative Carl Shu,er of
Montgomery county, but IN the end
Maynard was agreed upon Burton
will have a hand i'm the make up o.
the house committee to be named
by the speaker. He wIl take no
hand in the organization of the SEN
ate beyond supporting Malloy for
clerk.
The Indications are That Senator N
o. hIather, Of Akron, will be NOM
mated speaker pro tenn, and Will
liam King, of Union county, SER
geant- at the Saturday cau-
Gus. Burton will also have hand
I'M the make up of the senate ccm-
mittee.

Burton made it very plain that O
purposes to reward those who stood !
by him in his senatorial fight. Maur-
ice Masohke, a. N. Roadway and |
John III. Orgill ane already carried
fer favcrs. lMaschke proved him
self one of tire most valuable allies
I'm the Burton camp. He was in ef- |
feet the cbaiUman of what might be
characterized as Burtons board of
strategy. He iS being talked of as
tire successor of Collector of Customs
Charles Leach.
A federal position is also probable 1
