A Business Congressman.

Congressman Burke, in whom the
9th circuit has a local interest, is
announced as candidate for re-
nomination, and the many favorable
expressions this brings out over the
state is gratifying to himself and
friends. He has done well for new
man, is practical, level-headed, and
a persistent worker. Even the Hu
ronite lays aside capital prejudices
to thus commend him:
The successful efforts Of Congress
man Burke in reinstating Carriers
Buell. and Newcomer are fully appre
.cated by the citizens of Huron, and
when it is said that entirely to his
efforts and those of postmaster
Cooper their reinstatement IS due,
the friends OF these carriers ani the
citizens generally will give q full
measure of credit to Congres;fa N
Burke and show that they appreci-
ate his efforts when the proper time
comes. Mr. Burke has advanced in
public favor more rapidly than any
OF the public men OF the state His
denomination by acclamation seems
assured at this time. .-Huroaite.
Congressman Burke is gaining the
sobriquet so long enjoyed by lowa's
recently reelected senator, Ex-Goy-
ernor Gear. "Old Business" is what
they call him at the various depart
ments at Washington because he
looks after the interests OF his con-
stItuents personally instead OF send
ing his private secretary to do the
work. Charley Burke may meyer BE-
a Daniel Webster in oratory but he
is making IL record in congress as II
worker which is equalled by few and
surpassed by none-Canton News.
Charley Burke is making a spien-
did record and happily disappolnt-
ing a lot OF US fellows that thought
he could not be elected if nominated
aud if elected lacked the necessary
qualifications to make a firse-cllsss
representative. Burke is oil right
and wifi be re nominated He is en-
titled to re. e.nomination without op
position and the Chief hopes it will
come to him that way. -iroguois

G. N. VanHosen, at one ii me n
resident of Miller, and editor Of the
Republican, has been nominated Tor
Mavor of Springfield, Mo-, by the
republicans OF that city. Han d
Coun ty has been a school for the
p olitical education of great many
men who have drifted elsewhere.
We might make Vans campaign in
teresting by few "reminiscences OF
the past, but the PRESS would rather
wish him success. One incident,
however, might be mentioned just
for fnn. Once when the PRESS man
and Van were having red hot news
paper fight, both had occasion to
visit Pierre during session OF the
legislature. A lot of Millerites were
there, and after visiting night ses-
sion OF the legistat ure several fellows
went to the Locke hotel, and secured
a room for smoke and chat. Some
fpllow asked for Van Hosen. and was
informed he had gone to bed. There
upon two fellows went to his room,
hauled him out OF bed, brought him
where the crowd was and set him on
the table in his night clothes. Van
rubbed his eyes, looked arounl the
crowd, and was mortified to see his
rival sitting there laughing mt him
The fellows who took Van back to
his room consoled him with the in
formation that next weeks PRESS
would have the whole thing iilustra-
ted. But the Press drew the yell,
and the affair was known as n joke
only among the few Millerites ut
Pierre. AS with many other one
time rivals, time softens thefeeiiass,
and the PRESS wishes Van success in
his Mayoralty contest.
