Burton in a Tight Place at Columbus in 1912 Convention
National politics centered on Ohio Republicans meeting in Columbus to select delegates and draft a platform. Senator Burton, representing uninstructed Cuyahoga delegates, tried to broker a Taft Roosevelt compromise but both sides rejected talks. Roosevelt backers claimed 420 delegates to Taft’s 406 with 378 needed. Burton pressed for unity while facing pressure on the U S Senate race. Roosevelt allies backed D F Anderson for governor. Taft supporters backed Lawrence Langdon for governor.
