SENATOR BURTON
IDEAL CANDIDATE
An Intimate View cf Him h
1812 Gcmpaign.
IS STIlO'sG FCH FAIR FLAY.
On One Notable Occasion Declarad
That He Would as Soon Think of As
saulting a Man as Misquoting Him
Great Statesman, and Prodigiouu
Worker, Says leaao M. Meekins.
When the presidential campaign In
1912 was In full blast the chairman of
the Republican national committee re
quested Die to do some cnmpaignlir.:
for the committee. 1 was -railed to
Now York and informed that the com
nilttce had de-ded to put on wlintfcli
pleased to call "The Tariff Special.'
This wan a train with which It was
intended to trail Wood row Wilson's
western trip and cover each point
touched by the IemocnitIc presiden
tint nominee. I was told that Senator
Theodore E. Burton was In charge of
the train and that I had heen selected
to accompany him on tills trip. I Join
ed the senator at Indianapolis, and in
less than a half hour lie iiad my com
pleto confldeiree and I felt that I hart
known him all my life. His manuei
was easy, open and frank. He wan
positive., hut not abrupt.
Very soon I began to learn some of
the qualities of the distinguished sen
alor. Among Hie first was an llhfs
t rut Ion of bFs scrupulous sense of fair
ptay. On the train out of Chicago ati
Iowa newspaper man called Senator
Morton's attention to a passage In
Woodrow Wilson's "History of the
American People' wherein he de
scribes the panic of 18P3-4 and con-
eludes by saying. "Not until the year
ISD7, when the new Jtepubllcan admin
istration came In power, did the crisis
seem past." This hit of Information
interested me vitally. I was curious to
know what Senator Ilurton would do
with It how lie would handle It. I
fully expected him to use this Item in
his very next rear end platform speech.
But he did not. I went to him and
asked him why he did not make use
of that quotation from Wilson. "1
shall make use of It as soon as I have
an opportunity to verify it," he replied
I shall look It op as soon as I get to a
public library." l.ate the next night
in (he Denver Public library 1 round
Senator liurton poring over a volume
of Wilson's "History of the American
People.' "I have found the stale
nient.' he said, "and now I shall use
It." "I hIiopKI have used it before." I
told him. "But I could not afford to '
do that!" he exclaimed. "I would as
soon think of assaulting a man as
misquoting him."
Courteous and Considerate.
An Incident which occurred nt Hea
ver is so good an Illustration of Sena
tor Burton's line courtesy and consid
eration for others that 1 think It worth
while repeating. Although this was j
duo or me most anracuve win is in
our trip, he proposed 'that I should on
this occasion make the set speech. Al
Ihougli 1 protested, It was Dually nr
ranged that lie would take only llfteeu
minutes and give me the balance of
(he lime. A splendid audience greeted
us that night; several thousand were
gathered in a theater. Senator Burton
opened the meeting and was at his
best. The audience responded to iilin
Immediately, and he could have held
tlie attention of the men and women
gathered there for hours. I tossed him
a note telling biin that he should hold
the platform and not confine himself
to the agreed 11 ft ecu minutes; that the
audience was his and never mind me.
After speaking Just fifteen minutes
Senator Burton sat down. That night
on our train, chatting with the press
reporters, I asked Senator Burton why
he did not continue his speech. "Be
cause I had to keep my promise." he
said. "1 would . no sooner trespass
upon another man s time than I w mi 1-1
trespass upon his pockelbook."
Had I been a member of the president'-
cabinet Senator Burton could
not have been more considerate of my
feelings and my comfort In every par
ticular than he was during ttiis entire !
trip. I was as unknown to him as to
the leader of this Utile story. Herein
is revealed the rcul man.
Traveling brings out the true char
ncter of the man. Afler dose associa
tion with Senator Burton for a num
ber of weeks 1 can say of him that he
is not only a statesman and philoso
pher and in many resinvts a genius,
but he Is a sympathetic, honest, brave
gentleman, personally kind, gentle and
sincere. Campaigning In 1P12 for the
Uepubilcan nominee was fraught with
many dltllculties and embarrassments
By reason of these very dlllleulttes ami
embarrassments 1 found that dltlicul
ties do not discourage Senator Burton;
neither do failures frighten him. With
extraordinary celerity of perception he
finds his vy out of every dillii ulty
ind out of every embarrassment. lur
ing my entire nssoehr.i.m with him I
aever once heard him complain.
Statesman and Worker.
In addition to the refinement of ehar
tctcr which he posscs,M, Senator Bur
tui Is endowed with a great mind. Is
i iit-eat statesman and a prodig'.ou
worker. A man may be n great states
'nun and then lack th-..e fundamental
human qualities w liieh the n vera go
American voter Is Inclined to expect
if any t candidate for the presidency.
Since the advent jf the Man of Galileo
people everywhere have demanded the
hmmuiJties of their leaders. Prudence,
justice, duty, kindness, consideration,
service and honesty weigh more in the
rtc.Jcs of public oplniou than wisdom
and learning. But combine those at
tributes and we have ail that Is best
in human character.
I am a delegate to the Republican na
tional convention at Chl'-ago. which
meets June 7. 1 am not committed to
any candidate for president. I am free
to vote for whomsoever 1 please and to
change from one to another candidate
as my Judgment shall indicate. How
ever, knowing Senator Burton as 1
do. 1 felt that I wanted others also to
know him as he is. To my mind he
Is n presidential possibility who pos
sesses all the requisite qualifications in
full measure. Besides making a great
president he would make a good party
ninn. Senator Burton believes In the
Uepubilcan party. While he would not
permit partisanship to interfere with
the duties of the great oflice to which
he aspires, yet he can be counted on to
solidify the party and set It as a nail
In a sure place, There Is not a dis
loyal liber In his great -nature, not a
suspicion of Ingratitude In his charac
ter. He would cherish the organiza
lion that placed him In the highest
and most honorable official osltion ij
theworld. - ,
If Senator Burton Is nominated and
elected president every citizen of the
United States can have his cause heard
at the White House, if lie has a cause,
and In party matters the humblest of
our rank and file will be heard and
considered. Mr. Victor M unlock said
the other day, 'Colonel Roosevelt Is a
natural man." So Is Senator Burton
There Is a quiet reserve and dignity
about Senator Burton, but only that
which is perfectly fitting for a presi
dent nt the United States, while there
Is none of the happy-go-lucky spirit
about him. The genial warmth of his
spirit and his kindly and sympathetic
manner are totally Inconsistent with
any suggestion that Senator Burton is
cold blooded. Senator Burton Is a man
of deep sentiment without being senti
mental. There is a vast difference be
tween sentiment and sentimentality.
Just as there is a vast difference be
tween kindly consideration and cold In
sensibility. But every man can expect
of Senator Burton a quiet consideration
of an Issue or a cause, an honest con
clusion and a gentle, kindly and sym
pathetic announcement of that conclu
sion at any time, any place, under any
and ull circumstances.

PRESS THINKS WELL
CF SENATOR BURTON
Man to Oppose Wil
son, Says Ashevilio Citizen.
Yhlle political lenders arc for one
ninn or another, for one purpose or an
other. It is found that Republicans
seeking success this year want a man
of strong Republican convictions, n
man of experience in public affairs and
a knowledge of the needs of the coun
try. Just wlint Is thought of Senator Bur
tun In different parts of the country
may be seen by the comments of dif
ferent papers of recent date.
Says the Oleau Kvcnlng Times ol
New York:
"The candidacy of Senator Theodmv
II. Hurton is being pushed with nn ener
gy.,nnd vigor by his friends who know
him best amL his Washington asso
elrtles who know him as n legislator
that bid fair to laud tbe nomination
at Chicago. No other man now before
the public as a candidate Is getting the
favorable comment In this relation us
Senator P.nrton."
The Sioux Falls (S. O.I Slate Forum
says:
"The Forum believes that for pure
statesmanlike ability, knowledge and
needs of the country nnd how best to
meet them Senator Theodore F.. ilur
ton Is the best man of the entire list.
Us Is right on the tariff. rlgVt In his
Americanism, right In bis Ideas of gov
ernmental service and one of the real
lenders of the country."
.Whoellne (V. Ya.i Intelligencer:
"Uevelopment of sentiment among
West Virginia Republicans has ibeen
altogether favorable to Theodore E.
Iturton. As matters now stand he will
undoubtedly have the West Virginia
delegates to the Republican eonven
lion."
Ashevilio (N. O.) Citizen:
"Senator Uur;on Is the logical man
to oppose Ptvsldent Wilson, because
he combines the ndinutnge of repre
senting both Republican and Progres
sive elements without having any of
the objectionable characteristics thai
Ivar others from leadership."
