He’s jus' beginning to see what a mistake Imade at the Indiana convention anwhat a foolish speech he made. Cleveland has enjoyed cool woathei all week but a delegate at the "vice presidential” convention heard th« campaign slogan, "keep cool" so mud that he took it to heart and appeared in the hotel lobby wearing a pair ol white flannel trousers and gave every body a real chill. After offering the vice-preddenti? nomination to several others who re fused, the choice finally fell to Sett ator Borah of Idaho, who immediate ly declined. What’s the trouble witl all these patriots’ That ought to b< a good job if any one of them car land it. They are certainly having I hard old time getting up some excite tnent at the convention. One of the feature writers at the republican convention writes that the delegates have heard so mu< h of thb "keep cool-Coolldge" stuff that It has been difficult for them to "warn up’ and that tho <mly time their pulse took on a fev. extra boats was » her the Wisconsin delegation tried V break loOSC, only to have the chair I man -to say.

THEODORE E. BURTON says; “There is more satisfaction to me in holding public office than in serving a private business. I wcuid rather do something for others—not for myself.” 1, . _ I j - - — ——- • 1* her of Congrt re, his pu.por ■ seemed i. to be exprsst'd in the hi.-itoric rent - ment. “1 wan, to be in the body < io-e , cat to the people.” t . In 1816 Th« adore Burton was given I j the unanimous vote <>; the St: - es . Ohio as Republican rott’ir <■ for II President. His service abroad In the ,' Interparliamentary I’nion anil oth< r . * Important commissions has given h’m a full-rounded public career. “There is more satisfaction io n:e in holding public office than in s -rv- | ing a private bus ness —perhaps it tn • because I have be er. at it so long, but the feeling comes that if I would rather do something -it is for others—--1 and not for myself." Senator Burton tried banking in New York for a Time, but drifted back into political life before long. “The supreme satisfaction of this year is to see the Republican National Convention in session in my own home town —for the purpose of notninating a President.” A tall sturdy man w’th blue' eyes, a heavy voice, and the earnes.n -s# of a young bridegroom.
