VOTE Err STRAIGHT"
IS SENATOR BURT0N'S
ADVICE TO PARYYMEN
Senator Of Ohio Maintains
: That Wilson Administration
Has Failed

Theodore 4. Burton, of Ohio, address
ed fair sized audience at the arm
ory last night on the principles TOR
which he stands in national politics
Senator Burton reverted to party lines
and made strict party speech, urging
that the voters should support the party
that stood for their principles rather
than voting for the individual, whom
they thought would carry out their
ideas.
Burton maintained that no demo
cratic administration has succeeded it
self since the Civil war and that the
republicans, especially the younger men,
should follow their strict party fines
and vote for principle. He scored the
Wilson administration, holding that the
president had failed to carry out his
prediction promises and said that vii
SON. s indecision was responsible for the
trouble in Mexico. He also stated that
if Wilson had recognized the Huerta
government that the present trouble
would not have occurred. 1t is true,
he said, that Huerta insultcd the Amer
lean flag, but then he was head Of the
Mexican nation at that time, and should
have been recognized by the United
States.
He scored the democrats for failing
to carry out the coastwise canal tolls
provisions, the single term for prcsi-
dent, and for failing to reduce the high
cost of living and charged them direct
ly to the democratic rule. President
Wilson, he said, was always Hopping
over to some other sldc in the interua,
tional questions and that an unstable
pilot was not the man to guide the ship
of state.
Burton said he was not in favor Of
war and deplOred a bloody conflict and
its attendant loss and sorrow. He be-
heved that all international disputes
should be settled in court of arbitra-
tion but since it had taken ages to in
stitute eur domestic courts that it
would take still longer to institute in
ternational courts Of arbitration.
Senator Burton was introduced by
Governor Withycombe.
