They want a sen­ ator who is big enough and broad enough to represent five whole state and all the people. Even those who are opposing the candidacy of Theodore El. Burton for United States senator admit that the popular Clevelander would •be worthy- successor of sUCh former great Ohio senators as Wade and Pendleton, Chase and Thurman, Sher­ man” and Others. Practically their only argument against his candidacy is their claim that "custom requires that Senator Foraker’ssuccessor- should- be chosen from - Southern Ohio.” Wero this claim, founded on fact it might have more or less ef­ fect, although the. people of Ohio ate in a mood _at present to give more weight to the personal, and publie qualifications of the candidates than they are to the relatively Tinimport- ant question of the exact location of , their abiding-places'!* But their claim is not even supported by fact. If geographical distribution, were to be the controlling factor in -the se­ lection of ft United States senator from Ohio the honor would go tolhe Cleveland candidate without further discussion. This assertion is support­ ed hy tbs following facts;' ., During the. first 48 years .of, Ohio’s statehood, every senator came from the southern part of the' state with the exception of Stanley Griswold of THEODORE E. BURTON. F M a e w v w Hi $K.U.T,cif WIMH3 :inyahog* county has had tepresonta- for only 14 years, So, if the choice lies between Hamilton and Cuyahoga counties, Cuyahoga county ut entitled to the next senator; if the choice Ueg between southern and northern Ohio, the latter section is, entitled to the. next senator. In view of thp foregoing facts, it is hardly conceivable that tho oppo­ nents of Theodoro EL Barton’o eandt* dacy for United States senator will graphical claim in favor of southern Ohio to influence the votes of mem­ bers of tho general assembly. sr ■• _________ - SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS Answer* to Them Should Just About Decide Election of Next Senator, "Who, among the various candidate; will make the best and biggest Sen­ ator-for Ohio? ■ ‘ Which one of the candidates is best fitted and hest qualified by train-, ing and experience to discharge the important duties of Unitd States; Senator? Whose public achievements are’; the greatest? Whose public record and present or past political affiliations are freest of any possible criticism or re­ proach? Wbicb one of the candidates will come neatest to working wholly and solely in the interost of the people? If the rank and file of the Republi­ cans of Ohio are to have any voice in the selection pf a. senator to sue ceed J, p, Eoraker, they will insist that the choice of the members of the General. Assembly be based on the .answer to the *foregolng“ suggeattohs.- It is tp be presumed, of course, that each Republican mpniber of the general assembly will make an hon est effort to learn, the wishes of his constituents in the senatorial mat­ ter. in, some of the counties the Re publican legislators-elecfc •have in­ serted cards in the newspapers of their county or district, asking the voters to write a letter or postal and .make known their choice among the senatorial candidates. la many other counties the Republican voters have not waited for this invitation, but have taken' It upon themselves to let their senator or representative know just what their feeling is In the^natter. This newspaper believes that the people of this community should,write down, their answers to the foregoing five questions •and send those -ans­ wers direct to their senators and representatives. Get busy and send in your answers before it is too late.' ' ■ The principal candidates are as tel-* lowg; Theodore E. Burton, A* D. Har- xls, J, B. Foraker, C. P. Taft; H. K. Daugherty and C. Warren Keltor. The People Want Burton. ' The people of the state seem to want Congressman Burton' as their next Beixator, The Ohio river coun­ ties are Out strong for him. The con les along, the lake are for him almoiv, unanimously. Straw .votes taking In Mahoning and Trumbull counties show that no. other man Is thought of for the place, in the central part of the state tho same condition exists. In . fact, north, east, south and west, the people, am mand Burton. The congressman's friends do not believe tbe legislators can safely disregard this insistent popular cry, even if they oppose him In their own minds. Cuyahoga county, who served by *p- pointmelit in 1809 for lees than one year, and Benjamin Tappan of Jef­ ferson county, who served one term, from 1839 to 184?. But as Jefferson county 1 b in the middle eastern part of tbe state, he can not be classed as coming from the northern part of . the state any more than from the southern part. From 1851 to 1861 Cliio was repre­ sented in the senate by Benjamin Wade of Jefferson and by Pugh and Chase, from tho southern part of the State; from 1861 to 1866 by Wade of Jefferson and Sherman of Mansfield, both from northern Ohio; front 1869 to 1877 hy Sherman of Mansfield, northern Ohio, and Allen G. Thurman of Columbus; from 1877 to 1881 by Thurman of Columbus and Mathews and Pendleton, both from southern Ohio; from 1881 to 1885 by Sherman, northern Ohio, and Pendleton, south­ ern Ohio; from 1885 to 1861 by Sher­ man, northern Ohio, and Payne, northern Ohio; from 1891 to 1897, by Sherman and Brice, both from north­ ern Ohio; from 1897 to 1908 by For- •kar, Southern Ohio, and Hanna and Dick, northern Ohio, ‘ An analysis of the foregoing will show that Ohio has been represented in tha United States senate for a period t f 16*8 years, including the time to Mfirdt 4, 1909; and- consider­ ing that during this period Ohio has had two senators, it means a total representation of 212 years. Of this 2111 years, the southern part of tho state has held the eenatorehip 181 years, while tho northern part has held It hut 81 years. Both senators have cone from southern Ohio at tho same time, for a total cf 87 years, and from the north­ ern part of tho state at the same " i ^ a v STORE OPEN EVENINGS, WEEK OF CHRISTMAS ii HOME SWEET HOME.” Home Made Brighter For Him All $5loo ati<J $6.00 House Goats, $3,98, The $8, $0 and $10 ones,* $6.^5.

One of the interesting features of the campaign for the senatorship is the fact that nowhere can bo found a single criticism of Congressman Bur­ ton, either as a man or as a Candi­ date, Papers from one coast to the other have become Interested In tho Contest and have discussed tbe can­ didates editorially. Every one has a good word to say for Mr. Burton, All of them urge nis qualifications for tbe position and express the pleasure they Would feel at his election. Just at thi3 time, the congreoman’s friends say his chances are better than those of any other man who has been men­ tioned, . Burton'* Political Career. The first taste Congressman T. E. Burton got of politics was as a mem­ ber of-the Cleveland city council while he was yet in his twenties, Tho young men of the city liked him so well that they gOt behind him and elected him' to congress; Since that time, ho hah grown until he Is ac­ cepted as the strong*- t man in every way In the national house.
