This must have caused all the gas

A NEWSPAPER MAN
Congressman Burke Has Had
An EventfuI Career in
Congress.

Washington, d. c., May Coon
gresham James Francis Burke. of
Pennsylvania. used to be a newspaper
man. Years ago he was employed in
the circulation department of a Pitts
burg newspaper. and he always looks
back upon his journalistic career with
pride. although he does not hesitate in
saying he IS thankful he got out of it.
Mr.. Burke is a self-educated man and
he did a good job.
When his family got into Pennsylva-
MIA James Francis was smallish boy
with big dark eyes and a thirst for in
formation and book knowledge which
astounded the rural folk in the district
in which he lived. He worked and
went to school then later moved into
Pittsburg, where he continued to work
and study law at night. Mr.. Burke's
rise in life has not turned his head a
cratic, approachable man that he was
twenty years ago.
The other day in Washington Mr..
Burke had been eagerly engaged in de-
| Tending some measure in the house. He
addressed the house on several occa-
sions, and so brilliant were his re-
marks that the impression made upon
the spectators in the gallery was an eX-
ceptionally good one. When he left
the house in the evening he was ap-
preached by stranger, who said:
Beg your pardon. sir, are you Mr.
Burke:''
Yes. that's my name" responded
the representative.
We'll. Mr.. Burke, want to thank
you. went into the house gallery
this afternoon to hear your speech.

DEMOCRATS PLAN
FOR BIG MEETING
Thomas R. Marshall Will Op-
en- Their Campaign in
Wayne County.
BANQUET TO BE HELD.
EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE
COLISEUM-LiST OF THE CON-
MITTEES FOR THE EVENT ARE
ANNOUNCED.

Arrangements for the Marshall
citing TO be held by Wayne county
democrats at the coliseum the after
noon of June 2, were given good
start at a meeting of local men of the
party last evening. There was dis
play of enthusiasm that indicates the
democrats will be wide awake and al
SO quite aggressive in this county dur
ing the approaching campaign. A ban
uuct will be held at the coliseum.
1t is expected the county DemOcra-
tic club will be launched with larger
charter membership. 1t is believed
interest can be maintained better
through such an organization than in
any other way. The members of the
