Burton's Speech Defends Position on Cuban Reciprocity
Kansas Senator J R Burton challenged claims he targets the president, arguing his stance aligns with Roosevelt and that Cuban reciprocity risks harming American sugar. He spoke for two hours to a crowd of about two thousand, with many leaving before it ended, and he defended party loyalty while disputing reports of personal slights. The address emphasized sugar industry protection and the difference between desired reciprocity and what would aid the sugar trust.
