West Yirrinia for Rnrton.

The presidential boom OF the Hon.
Theodore Burton. former United States
senator from the state OF Ohio, is rap
Idly spreading to his own states neigh
boring state east of tho Ohio river.
West Virginians grow stronger daily
in the belief that he will be the Re-
publican nominee next year. West vir-
Sinians think well of not only his
state but of him as well. Tho West
Virginia Republican press is particu-
larry strong in advocacy OF his nomi-
nation and II is u noteworthy fact that
this advocacy comes in voluntary man
ner. there having been no organized
effort thus far in his behalf In this
state.
Several Republican newspapers in
this state voice the opinion that were
the statewide primary to be held at
this time. the presidential preference
would be given Senator Burton by
overwhelming plurality. and unless
something unforeseen happens before
next summer, when the primary will
be held, the Ohio "favorite son" will
assuredly sweep this state.
AS statesman Senator Burton
commands highest respect. A careful
student of public affairs, he is always
safe and sound. While he Is somewhat
conservative, he is not reactionary,
Rather he has strong tendencies to-
ward the progressive idea and he ac-
cepts as truly American the fact that
the nation should always go forward.
and while remaining true TO its ira
ditions should nevertheless eagerly
meet new conditions and measure up
to all demands OF modern times. He
realizes that new conditions mean new
and modern measures and he is not
incapable, as at least one West yir-
GINA newspaper says of him. of being
Influenced by those social forces that
are slowly but surely changing the
industrial order of the nation. Pub
lie service and diligent study along
with wide observation make him a
man Of comprehensive and expert
knowledge so far as public affairs are
concerned and no man knows the
needs OF our country better than he.
He is absolutely sound on the great
fundamental principles OF the Republic
can party and truly American in every
respect. His nomination would please
West Virginia and he would sweep the
state.
