SICOUR NEY MAN
NOW GOVERNOR
OF A STATE
JOHN BURKE, NORTH DAkoTA's
EXECUTIVE, COMING FOR VISIT
brother FORMERLY LIVED
IN oTTMWA.

Sigourney and attending the reception
to President Roosevelt at Keokuk.
Governor Burke is an Iowa product
and the son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Burkea of SigoIrney, and the brother
of Edmund Burke. a former Morrell
office employee, who is now in North
Dakota. He removed to North Da-
kota in its early history for the prac-
tice of law after he had graduated
from Iowa university. Locating at
Rolla he won distinction as pleader
but politically his horizon was mar
rowed by the fact that he was q
staunch democrat in a state which
was overwhelmingly republican. PROM
inent in all affairs of the democratic
party. he was far removed from polit.
ical preferment and was rendered the
democratic .gubernatorial nomination
as many good men have received it
before-as compliment without
hope of emolument.
Last year saw a fight in the repub-
lican ranks of North Dakota, which
evidenced itself in many other repub-
lican states and the wave which made
Johnson of Minnesota governor and
nearly defeated Hoch of Kansas, made
John Burke governor of North Da-
kota.
This Is to be his first visit to Iowa
since his elevatinn to the governor
chair.
