The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1908-05-21

They making a terrible ado because North
Dakotas governor, John Burke is not up on eastern
etiquette enough to know the hour for luncheon.
The governor was invited to speak before manu-
facturers association in Chicago last week. at the
luncheon and he supposed that luncheon would
he served in the evening He arrived at the hotel
in the evening, two hours after theguests had all
departed. This is a terrible thing-the fact that
North Dakota's chief executive does not know when
it is time to partake Of luncheon. The committee
failed to state the hour of the affair, and gov
ernor merely supposed that evening was the time.
OF course up here in North Dakota the manufacturers
and other business men so busy all of the time
that they do not attend banQuets uncheons in
the afternoons; hence it is fair to suppose that a
North Dakotan should expect evening to be the
proper time for such function We are not 50
sure but that our governor was in the right after
ALL and perhaps the manufacturers got mixed up
on their dates instead Of the governor.
The Independent hears that some of John
Wallins enemies using an argument against his
nomination for senator from the 10Th legislative dis
tr1ct to the effect that il elected to the senate he
Will not vote for the peoples choice for the United
states senate unless that choice happens to be the
candidate that Mr.. Wallin is now supporting Mr.
Wallin is of strong convictions and naturally
it might look to some that he would do this; but
IN all fairness to Mr.. Wan let us say that Mr.
Wallin himself informs the Independent that no
matter whom that candidate might be he will sup
port the choice Of the people case of his election
He gives us his woodland when John Wallfn gives
4 MS word you depend upon it.
NO matter who Mr.. Wallin is supporting for the
Onlted states senate at the present time he will
be found doing his duty and fulfilling the wishes Of
tne majority OF the voters when the time comes.
