He had announced that he would give an account ot hli trip at the Mrvlce yesterday worn- tog, but the itory proved to in- terettlng he concluded he would split It Into a of He confessed yesterday that he had just fairly got started when the time to conclude the morning service arrived.

The audience listened with deepest interest. The Rev. Mr. Whltten had been In the Holy Land at a time when there was grave peril for travel- lers, as troubles which have since become International In their Importance were getting started while he was visiting there. He was warned of the danger of penetrating Into the Wand visiting the places which had been hallowed In the history of religions, but he decided that whether he was entering peril or not he had gone so far he could not allow danger to prevent him realizing his life-long dream of visiting gome of the sacred spots.

So he went on and came through safely, but if he were there now It would be a much more perilous undertaking to make the trip he made, because of uprisings and fighting between the Jews and the Arabs. Only part of his journey was traversed when he Interrupted his discourse yesterday and he announced that he would invite everyone to return and be In his congregation next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock and then hear the second section of his tour.

Births in Atea At Record High state's attorney that they can control. No honest man can afford to match them dollar for dollar In a campaign. I shall not attempt to do so- I am certain that this group cannot buy a majority of the voters in this Democratic primary on Aug. 30, or else I would not enter this campaign. I appeal for support'to every man and woman voter In this primary who believes In clean, decent, commonsense conduct of public office.

I submit my practice as an attorney at law from 1915 to 1932 and my record as state representative from 1932 to 1934 and the conduct of my office as probate judge of Madison County from 1934 to 1938 as evidence of my experience, ability and fitness for public office. "Syndicate gambling is bad for a community. It is bad for merchants and all others in business. It takes money out of a community to go to the syndicate operators. Syndicate gambling Is bad for a political party.

It means opposition to decent, qualified men of the party who seek public office, If they will not do as syndicate dictates. It is ba'd for a county for it means bad government, bad enforcement of the law and a bad reputation for the county. Syndicate gambling permitted or protected by public officials encourages other forms of violation of criminal laws. No man can accept the support of the gambling syndicate without becoming ob ligated to them. Any public official whose duty it is to enforce the law, who permits or protects it, violates his oath of office.

It is the clear, plain, positive duty of the sheriff and the state's attorney to enforce the law. They are the chief law-enforcing officers of the county- If I become state's attorney, I shall use my best efforts and the authority of the office to stamp out syndicate gambling in Madison County. "I nm no reformer, but on the other hand I am not a Vackcteer. I do not believe in either extreme. I am liberal, but I am not lawless.

Appeals to People "I have lived in Madison County for 46 years and I expect to remain here the balance of my life. I do not believe that a state's attorney should be a snooper or a detective, but on the other hand he ought not be deaf, dumb and blind to open, brazen, notorious law-violation which every citizen can see. The Issue is clear in this primary: Shall the gambling syn dlcate select the nominee for state's attorney in the Democratic pri miry on Aug. 30, or shall the people choose the nominee on the basis of experience, ability and fitness for this important office? "I know that a majority of you people of this county do not want to have your law-enforcing of ficlals suspected of being in partnership with syndicate gambling. I know that a majority of you people want clean, decent', common-sense law enforcement.

I enlist your active support and votes. Without your aid, I cannot win; with your aid, I shall not lose. W. BURTON," Read Telegraph Want Ads Dally.
