Garner went further and mentioned the man Republican Senator Harold Burton of Ohio. Republicans do not admit that they take political advice from a Democrat, yet privately a lot of them think Garner is right. Especially in recent weeks, with the Democrats showing more and more signs Of unity behind FDR, there is a growing GOP belief that bitter Republican feuding must be healed and that a Coolidge-typ- e candidate like 'Burton might be the man. s. HARDING s on the Preliminary Senator from Ohio indicate that, while he may have the taciturnity of Coolidge, ho would not be another Harding. In fact, this has already made some of the Old Guard leaders, who want to dominate whomever they put in the White House, a bit skeptical about Burton. Like Coolidge, Burton was born in Massachusetts. After graduatin ing from Bowdoin College Maine, he went to Harvard Law School, then moved to Ohio for two reasons. One was that the law offices of Boston were open only to the sons of the Lowells, Cabots, and Lodges. The other was that he had read a book on Tam Johnson, the Cleveland public utilities man who bad become a great public servant. Also, Burton was engaged to young lady whose uncle had Clev land connections and promised to get him a job there. When young Burton arrived, however, fresh out of Harvard Law School, he found the job was digging post holes for a telephone line. Later, he applied for a legal position with the city government and, although he didnt get it, he did become a crusading young Cleveland lawyer. As such, he saw a lot of Newton D. Baker, then Ma or of the city, later Secretary of 'ar under Woodrow Wilson In fact, it is probable that Burton, a Republican, was more influenced politically by two Democrats, Baktr and Tom Johnson, than by any other two men Johnson had been Mayor of Cleveland four terms, Baker two terms. Burton later served as Mayor for three terms and had an equally brilliant, crusading record. Before the last war. Burton had interrupt'd his Cleveland iegal career with three years in Salt Lake City as attorney for the Utah Power and Light Company.

So when he ran for the Senate in 1940, conservative Republican leaders organized to defeat him.

Theres the matter of government records, for instance. At the expense of a good bit of scarce paer, one of our congressmen has determined that, in the course of 150 years, enough of these documents have been preserved in the nations capital to make a pile as big as the Washington monument. And the payoff is that more than half of this massive collection is less than four years old. Did somebody mutter bureaucracy? HORIZONTAL opposite.
