CHOICE IS SURPRISE

Washington, ID. c.. April 26.-Se-
lection of Theodore Burton of Ohio
as temporary chairman and "keynote .
sounder of the Republican national
convention has caused near sensa-
ton in political circles here.
Burton is an ultra conservative. He
was chosen by President Coolidge per
sonally. Everybody had expected
some concession TO the progressive
winning of the party in the selection
of convention officials.
Therefore in seeking the meaning oil
the choice of Burton, political obser,
vers here were impressed by these
things:
Sticks to Conservative Policy.
THAT the choice of this most
conservative of conservatives &c
sound the party keynote for the
campaign-and this means the Cool
idge keynote this year-shows that
the President intends to stand pat
on these conservative doctrines e
which he has always remained tru,
and will not surrender anything tC

2-That Mr.. Coolidge's runnin,

to be conservative and not. rs SOM
believed likely q member Of the Prog
ressives.
3-That the emphasizing by tn,
President Of his conservatism is likel!
TO give further impetus TO the indie
pendent or third party movement.
1t is in connection with this last
point that the choice of Burton
caused mos, disappointment here
among those Republicans who would
like to see the administration seek to
placate as far as is consistently pos
sible the liberals within the party.
President Adheres to Principles.
Instead of placating them. the nam
ing of Burton will simply tend to
drive them towards the independent
movement. liberal leaders fear.
The conservative leaders. however,
hail the choice. Of Burton as an in
dicntion that the President intends to
stick firmly to his political princi-
pies and to leave no doubt in the mind
of the country that he will neither
bow nor truckle to any other group,
either within or without his own
party.

SAYS JAP NAVYSTR0NG
Claims American Sea Forces Outnun1'
bered snd Outgunned by Nipponese.'

New York, April 2e.-The Ameri-
can is outnumbered and outgunned
by both the japanese and the Brit
ish, William b. Shearer. formerly a
special expert employed by the Navy
Department, and inventor OF the one
man torpedo boat, and the amphibiau
tank, charged today in a statement.
The treaty ratio of 5-5-3 does not
exist, he says. 1t is 5-3-3, with Amer
lea last. Our navy is outranked IN
ships, men, guns and range, Shearer
said.
His figures grew from his challenge
that figures on stored oil given out
last week by Secretary Of the Navy
Wilbur were misleading. With the ex-
ception of 100000 barrels stored in
Hawaii. the navy has no oil in re-
serve, Shearer claimed.
The British. he said, have nineteen
naval bases, Japan as mang. some OF
them secret. while the United States
has none. The Atlantic fleet is out
of commission because the boilers OF
four capital ships need repairing and
there is no money TO do the work.
