Gov. Burke VIII Be Candidate
for the U. 5. Senate, Say Dems

The dernocrafs are elated over the
apparent defeat of Tom Marshall for
senatorial endorsement and claim that
it means that John Burke will be the
next United States senator from North
Dakota. AZ
That seems to bea far cry and the
frst impulse would be to ask the man

SEVEN KILLED IN
DYNAMITE BLOW.UP

Winnipeg, Nov. 5.--Seven Italians
were killed north of Dryden today
while working on the Grand Trunk
railway They were all in deep cut
and charges of dynamite had been pre-
pared. The men were still working
while the electric battery was being
prepared to set off the charge, but the
explosion came prematurely and tons
of rock fell on eleven men. After sew
eral hours work three were rescued,
but badly injured. Seven of the dead
are still under the rocks.

they have better representation in
both branches OF the legislature than
for years.
In addition to these they, expect to
get lot Of Marshall republicans who
will be sore at NJ N. Johnson and also
at any other independent candidate.
The supreme court having declared the
pledge law unconstitutional there will
be nothing to prevent either Burke
or anyone else entering the race.
1t appears to The Forum that these
democrats are counting their eggs not
only before they hatched but before
they are laid. No republican mem
ber of the legislature will dare vote
for a democrat for United States SEN
ator-whether he Us a sympathizer
with Marshal or anyone else.

into prominence by his third election.
1t is an honor that only John s.
Pillsbury has heretofore received from
Minnesota.
That 1t should be conferred upon a
man politically opposed to the majority
in the state is all the more striking.
1t must attract to Johnson still more
attention in the country at large and
unless the next national campaign is
fought on entirely different lines from
the last one, Johnson's nomination for
president on the democratic ticket is
inevitable in 1912.

of farmer union members and their

the Prevention of tuberculosis the other

united in crusade against the lax fac

object IS to reduce the high death rate
among working people from tuberculosis
by compelling factory inspectors to en-
force sanitary regulations. 1.-THE condi-

reliable sources show that 10000 cases
and 3.62S deaths from consumption in
this city cause a yearly loss of 100000.
This slaughter can in part be traced to
the criminal neglect of the factory in
spection department.
Generally the inspectors do not take
the trouble to look inside the mill. They
pay a visit to the Office of the mills, and

things unlawful they do not insist that
