Effect of Elections on
Presidential Boom Is
Engaging Attention

The effect of the election results on
different Republican Presidential candi-
dates is one OF the topics which com
mands most attention here. now that
the general trend OF the ballots Is
known.
Backers Of Senator Theodore f. Bur
ton were promptly in the field with
declarations that his candidacy would
benefit greatly by the outcome. They
said the Republican gains in Ohio. COM
ing right after the fact that Burton
had been assured clear field in the
state by the announcement that Gov
ernor Willis would not run, added ma
terially to the prestige OF the Burton
candidacy.

ants and Burton himself are planning u
