SEN. BURROWS
Wisconsin Progressive Refers To
Michigan Man As Ally Of Senator
Aldrich.

LANSING, Mich, Aug. 25.-The
campaign bureau for Congressman
Townsend, who Is seeking the nomina-
ton for United States senator, sends
out the following, which appears In
LaFollette's magazine, In reply to the
story that Senator LaFollette, OF Wis.
consin, favors Senator Burrows re-
election:
Senator Burrows, OF Michigan, is
one OF the younger members Of the
old guard In the senate. He is only
~ years Of age and has been sena-
tor only a little over Ia years. But
the system has found him most 'reli-
able and his promotion In the organi-
zation has been rapid.
When the system organized the
business end OF the last Republican
national convention 1t selected julius
Caesar Burrows, of Michigan, to make
the Keynote speech of convention.
This was an exacting job to be done
under critical circumstances. The 'sys-
em' did not want Taft, but on this
point It acknowledged defeat unless
and the alternative was nightmare
TO the 'system'-unless the convention
should be stampeded to Roosevelt.
Next to Roosevelt himself, the 'sys-
tenn feared most the injection OF any
Roosevelt or progressive ideas into
the platform. OF course, the situation
was carefully gone over and analysed
and II was planned to have things
happen according to the system pro-
gram-unless a burst Of enthusiasm
should unset things. Such must not
be permitted to happen. There must
be no excitement, no enthusiasm,
nothing to interfere with the precise
and scheduled movements of the ma
chine. To forestall such q contin-
gency, the system needed a chair
