Governor Burke Visits Oakes.

The democrats had their inning in the
county last Friday evening and they
made. the most of it. Governor John
Burke was billed for . speech in Oakes.
The only speech to be delivered in the
county It was advertised, but the central
committee found that his hour Of speak
ing in Cakes was at seven o'clock and
they laid plans to have him taken to
Glendale after nine o'clock that even
ing for an address there. Itmust haye
been eleven o clock before the Burke
party reached Glendale. Geo. T. Webb
was in waiting here with his automobile
and conveyed him across the country
thirty miles.
It was the first time our people had
the opportunity ofhearing the governor
and there was good audience to greet
him when he began speaking at 7:30.
He attacked the tariff and trusts under
q republican administration, but agreed
that the platforms Of the two great
parties this year were nearly alike on
the subject.
z ComiiK d1pRn to state issses, he could
not find any fault at all with the re-
publican platform. The physical valua-
ton of railroads was there, a good
plank, he said. The guaranteeing Of
bank deposits was there; declaring fol
election of U. S. senators by direct vote
was there; and one or two other planks
were there just the same as in the
democratic state platform. To look fol
relief from these things we must not
! lcok at the state platforms but must &c
/; to the national platforms and there the
republican platform was silent on those
matters.
+! He told how the administration Of
John Burke was on trial, and in the
/ same breath said it was not as much
John Burke that was on trial as the
things he stood for. He said the whole
republican organization, newspapers
and all, were out fighting Burke anc
he plead with the audience to re-elect
him and not discredit his administration
which meant so much to him. HI
spoke at length on railroad assessment
and showed that he could do nothing a.
the majority was against him.
Governor Burke is good platform
speaker. He talks slowly and ieliber
ately and carries the attention Of hi!
audience all the time. He is making ,
whirlwind campaign and is the onl!
hope of democracy in this state.

Worth Thousands of Votes.

jamestown Capital: This eleventh
hour attack upon the primary election
law is forcible demonstration of the
fact that powerful forces are deter
mined to beat Marshall for the U. S.
senate. It is conceded that he has the
people with him, that he is their choice,
and Ssst that the h only way it is
devious device, to thwart the will of
the people and throw it into the next
legislature with every member freed
from his written pledge to support the
nominee of the people. The present
scheme is roundly condemned and
should make thousands of votes for
Tom Marshall, man who stands for
the best interests Of all the people of
North Dakota and against corporate
domination.

Journal Sold to Interests.

Grand Forks Herald: The Fargo
Forum. which is busy trying to defeat
Marshall for the senate, reproduces an
editorial from the Minneapolis Journal
in which comparisons are made between
Marshall and johnson. to the advantage
Of the latter. The Forum does not in
form it's readers that the Minneapolis
Journal is under an entirely different
management from that under which it
built up its well earned reputation as
distinctively the paper OF the people
in the twin cities. Since the change of
management there has been a change
in the tone of the paper. and that
change is of such nature as to tend to
confirm the statement made that GER
tain powerful railroad and other corpor-
ate interests provided the greater part
of the 81, 200, 900 paid for the property.
The endorsement of the Journal of TO-
day is an endorsement by a very differ
ent set of people from those repre-
sented in Journal endorsement Of six
months ago.

BY United Press Leased Special wire

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 1.-THE
delegates to the Rivers and Harbors
Congress. who were plunged into
gloom Yesterday by the speech OF
Speaker Cannon. In which he expressed.
his opposition to the plan OF issuing
bonds for waterways improvement,
listened today with glee to a vigorous
reply by Alfred o. Crozier, OF VII
mington. Del.
Must the interests Of eighty-hve
millions of people, he inquired. "be
continuously sacrificed through mad
equate and expensive transportation
facilities. TO increase the power and
profits Of a small coterie of profess
sional gamblers. who are selling con-
troll and constantly consolidating and
watering the railroads of the country,
that they may use them against the
public welfare, together with the large
industries. banks. insurance companies
and the public currency, as mere chips
on a colossal and crooked gaming
table?
"Will Congress in this national crisis
favor Wall street. or all the people
Of the United States?"
Mr.. Crozier declared that the pro-
posed increase in freight charges by
the railroads. would burden the people
with an extra sum annually sufficient
20 pay the interest on a government
/ bond issue, large enough to put in
I good order all Of the natural and prac-
! ticable artificial waterways of the
j United States. II would also provide
sinking fund that in fifty years
would entirely pay all the bonds.
\ "The next ten years should be the
most prosperous and commercially ac-
tive in the country's history" he said
J "All conditions are favorable to that
end. Within twelve months railroads
will again begin 10 choke with exces-
sive traffic. The highest railroad au-
7 thoritles publicly acknowledge these
facts.
"The quickest easiest. cheapest and
only way TO obtain adequate relief, Is
J to develop the waterways"
