days, he has been accustomed
to lead. Those who know him
say he is man of exemplary
character and that he never
touches liquor. He is a great
home man and his domestic
life is said to be a very happy
one.
Because of his appearance
and characteristics, he has been
likened to Abraham Lincoln
and the designation of "Honest
John has been applied to him
by his admirers. This pseudo
nym he does net like, and when
his friends in advocating his
selection as the pGrty nominee

summer called him "Honest
John" and "Abraham Lincoln
of North Dakota" he plead with
them to desist.

be honest until he is proven

KERRY COW

comedy drama which has made
Joseph Murphy famous, also
100000 in clear cash, is the
attraction at the Auditorium
this week, and with it is intro
duced new star, who, as Mr.
Murpby's successor, promises
to keep the role of Dan O'Hara
alive and popularity 80 for
many a year to come. The play
opened with two performances
yesterday and two of the best
houses of the season at that
playhouse were attracted with
the exception of Allen 'Doone,
the young comedian who is
playing the leading part, the
cast is Mr.. Murphy's own COM
.pany, and needs no criticism.
Mr.. Doone has a rich tenor
voice and his rendition of the
Irish ballads interspersed
throughout the play is most
pleasant. In his acting there
are as yet naturally few
rough places, but the critical
eye will readily apprehend that
this will soon cease to be an
embarrassment. AS It is, few
who have not seen Mr.. Murphy

room for the slightest criticism.

IN HONOR 0E GOV. BURKE

OeVlls Lake saturday night IN
honor of the election of John
Burke. Democrats from all
over the state gathered to con-
gratulate each other on the
overturning of the politics of
the state. The meeting was
enthusiastically entered into
by democrats and good govern
ment republicans alike. Speak
ers from different parts of the
state, independent Of political
belief, joined in the celebration.
One of the principal speakers
was a life long republican.
The general cause of congratu-
lation was that the state ma
chine is simply off it's feet.
Governor Burke in his speech
said that the recent election
was not merely democratic
victory, but victory of the
people against railroad rule
and bossism in the state. He
complimented the good govern
ment republicans for their in
dependence in breaking away
from party ties and declared
that in his state appointments,
such republicans would be re-
membered with the democrats.
He said the people of the state
wanted a change for the better
in administering public affairs
and that he would give them a
business administration which
would show in the balance
sheet in favor of his admins
tration. In recognizing the in
surgent wing of the republican
party as he intends to do and
by & living us a wise and eco
nonical administration, John
Burke will be reelected two
years hence by the help of the
same insurgent republicans
who have spirit of fair play.
There is no compromise on the
part of either element in the
republican party-it is a war of
determination. Roosevelt re-
publicans and democrats are
nearer together to-day than the
two wings of the republican
party. If John Burke "makes
good" there is no reason why
he will not be reelected, and
with him the whole state demo-
cratic ticket. Good govern.
ment republicans are determ-
ined to clean out the state
capitol from cellar to garret.

THE LEGAL BOSS

The Republican, party thru
Secretary Bonaparte has at
last invented a reform that no
other party has prior claim to
and that no other party will
probably care to claim. The
Bonaparte invention may be
styled "the legal boss, for the
fantastic idea is, "that the peo-
pie should have legally con-
stituted bosses to make all the
nominations for public offices
and thus do away entirely with
nominating conventions. No
one but a republican boss. or
would be boss. could invent
such scheme of licensing the
boss system. Democrats are
intent on self-zpovernment and
are determined that the people
must govern bosses and not
the bosses the people. But in
the Republican breast there
ever seems to dwell the linger~
ing hereditary hope, descended
from Hamilton, that the few.
or for that matter the one. shall
rule and dictate to the many.
If the voters are capable of
electing a boss, they are Ger
tainly capable of nominating
and ,electing their public offic-
ials, otherwise universal suf-
frage 10 failure and like the
Hebrews of old, a king is the
only natural boss that the peo-
pie would elect.
The fact 10 the Republican
leaders gee trouble brewing for
them in the near future, for the
people are awakening to the
fact that their only salvation is
to abolish bosses, with the GER
tain corruption and grating
that stalk in their train and as
Republicanism means the rule
of bosses. az Democracy ,,1eana
the rule Of the people, the Re.
publican leaders would legalize
the political machine they
nave set up, in hopes of pre-
venting the breakdown they
see is approaching

Sketch Of John Burke.

Sketch Of John Burke.
He is an everyday sort Of
man, who associates with com ;
mon people, dresses like them
and when he is with them is
one of them.
This is the Characterization
of John Burke, North Dakota's
newly elected governor, az
given by one of his closest poll
tical friends aud admirers, and
it may serve in a measure to
explain his somewhat personal
triumph at the polls. This is
not his first victory of this
kind, for he has three times
been elected to the Legislature
from a district which is ordin-
arily strongly republican.
AS his name would indicate,
John Burke has Irish blood in
his veins and plenty of it. His
father was born in Ireland and
arrived in America when %
years of age, coming west and
settling in Iowa only a few
years after reaching this coun-
try. Like 80 many other promi-
nent men, John Burke is a
farmers son. He was born on
his fathers farm near Sigour-
ney, Ia, forty-seven years ago.
He spent the first twenty-five
years of his life on farm and
gained most of his education
in the district school. When
Is years of age he entered the
Iowa state university, where
he took up law graduating two
years later, in the same class
with Judge N. C. Young of
North Dakota and Judge Wade,
the we'll known Iowa jurist.
After completing his studies
the young attorney moved to
Des Moines, where he entered
upon the practice of his profess
sion. After spending two years
there. hes evidently concluded
that there was a better field
for an aspiring young attorney
in a newer country, 80 he NOV
ed to northern Minnesota and
spent two years in the practice
of law in the pine region. Later
he crossed the boundary line
into the hickertail state, set
thing fret at st. John and later
in Rolla.
He set foot on North Dakota
soil at a very propitious time.
Owing to a general depression
and shortage of crops the coun-
try was passing through a de-
cidedly bad term of years. But
in spite of this John Burke
proepered and was successful
in building up a good law prac-
tice in Rolla.
Going there when the town
and country around it were new
he was not long in establishing
a reputation and making him
self known 80 that two years
after his arrival he was elected
to the legislature from that
district. During his residence
there he was twice reelected,
serving two terms in the state
senate and one in the house.
He was one of the strongest
supporters of Senator Roach
and worked hard to bring
about the latter's election.
In 1895 lie was candidate
for congress on the democratic
ticket, but like the rest Of the
democratic candidates of that
time, went down to defeat. He
also ran against Judge Cowan
for district Judge but was de.
feated.
He moved to Devils Lake in
1898, and since thep has been
building up q steadily increas.
ing practice, He has served AZ
city attorney at Devils Lake
