PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO
MAKE ADDRESS.
After tlu Speech a Reception Will He
Held Ht thc Foley Hotel.
Senator Theodore E. Burton, of
Ohio, and Presidential candidate will
bo in La Grande Saturday evening. He
will make an open air address and tola
will be followed by a reception at th
Foley hotel. On account of the prom
inence of the visitor and the fact that
ho is seriously considered as an im
portant element in the approaching
Presidential election, his appearance
in La Grande will be made the oc
casion of a" Republican rally, not only
cw a matter of appreciation ;f the
distinguished Ohioan's visit heie, but
also as a mark of loyalty to the polit
ical principles which his record has so
ably maintained. There will be band
music and the reception will be par
ticipated in by the most prominent Re
publicans of La Grande and vicinity.
The Oregonian iays editorially of
Theodore E. Burton: x
A President of the United States
has said publicly that Theodore Elijah
Burton is "a- statesman and a scholar
and that he is well qualified to fill the
highest office in the gift of the peo
ple." Undoubtedly it is a deserved
tribute to a public man who has riven
the greater part of his life to the ser
vice of the people, and who has made
in Congress aHi indelible record of fl-
sdelity, efficiency, industry and indt-
Let us emphasize the last-named
quality. Mr. 'Barton served for many
years in the lower house of Congress,
and a term in the Senate; and there
was no time throughout his Congres
sional career when ho did not take the
course good conscience and sound
judgment indicated. He was and is
a Republican, but he never permitted
partisan demands in any way to in
terfere with the public welfare; nor
did he suffer his duty to his immediate
constituency to impair his large
vision of a great and united Nation.
It is of record that a body of citi
zens from Cleveland, the home of
Senator Burton, waited upon him with
a petition for support of a certain
Federal appropriation for the harbor
of that port. "I do not think the
WUnited States is justified in making
this improvement, replies! tne sen
ator in effect. "Nor do I assume that,
any American citizen from Cleveland
or anywhere will expeci that I support
a measure which my judgment doe3
not approve." Nor did he.
The extraordinary service per
formed by Mr. Burton as member and
chairman, of the rivers and harbors
committee of the House, and later as a
Senator, in his unceasing warfare on
the pork barrel, is well remembered.
It entitles him to the grateful appre
ciation of everyone who believes that
appropriations should be made on
their merits and not upon the size and
strength of Congressional pull. It
ought to he mentioned also that Sen
ator Burton is and has been a friend
of the Columbia River, and has fav
ored reasonable and even generous ap
propriations for its improvement.
But he has been invincibly opposed to
the system which saddled down useful
projects with wasteful and criminal
expenditures for other schemes not
worthy of any kind of consideration
on their merits.
'Mr. Burton is an Authority on fi
nances and political economy, and he
is well versed in every other subject
which has callod.for Congressional ac
tion. He is no Little American,
though he had not until the European
war burst upon the world favored

and incidentally riving them an op
portunity to take his measure from
personal contact as a candidate for

hesitate to say, from iis knowledge of
the visitor, and from long observation

ter fund warrants outstanding and

chasing power of warrants worth par
or nearlv so.
