STEWART SEES BURTON OF OHIO
AS NATIONAL FIGURE EVEN NOW
Nv Charles II. Stewart

KANSAS CITY, June ls.-Theo-
dore 4. Burton, who has announced
his candidacy for the senate. is look
ed upon as a national figure even
when a president " being chosen.
Few folk can achieve that.
He is one Of the original Ohio
Hoover men.
It's a shame that the man who
LOOKS the most senatorial OF any
individual in public life shouldn't
BE one. II seems like such n waste
of perfectly magnificent raw ma
terial.
This shouldn't be interpreted as
implying that Congressman Burton
Is q good locker" in the ordinary
sense of the term. He's far from a
beauty. What he does look like is a
great man" I doubt il there's an
other as imposing a presence at the
national capitol.
Burton has a massive figure and
massive features and a massive
head. He's very old. He somehow
suggests solitude, even in the hurly-
burly of the house Of representatives

man Is just what he looks like
not an eagle, Of course. but one hum.

He has TO have a massive head, Il

Speaking OF suggestions. he sug-
gests a freight car loaded with pil
