Governor Burke gives the fol-

should give thanks. North Da-
kota is thankful for a bountiful
harvest for general prosperity and
thrift in every line of business or
endeavor, for freedom from pesti-
lence and disaster, for the absence
of either the idle rich or the desti-
tute poor, for the high moral
standard of its law, and for it's
splendid, energetic law abiding
citizenship. 1.-The nation should
be thankful for the union that
makes North Dakota a sister state.

way and let a man run who can
run" Andy Miller isn't saying
much-but he will undoubtedly
endorse these sentiments"
In this connection it may be adj
ded that Mr.. Miller is in many
ways the logical candidate of the
people of the state who are striv-
ing for self-government. He has
been the power to the back of the.
governor whose courage and UNI
compromising grit has caused the
fear of God to be known to all
law breakers and grafters in the.
state. He is most favorably To-.
Gated for the position of United.
States senator. The western part
of the state is proud to put forth a
man entirely satisfactory to the
good people of every part of the
state, a good republican who be-.
lieves that good citizenship is the
greatest and most valuable at
tribute of a good republican, a
man who has made good aud who
will continue along those righteous
lines that make for good govern
ment, local and national, The
Washburn Leader is glad that Mr..
Miller is an available candidate
and hopes that his formal an
nouncement of his candidacy be-
fore the people at the forthcoming
primaries may not long be delayed.

The United States Senatorship.

SAAAOO~
Governor Burke having appoint
ed Judge Fountain L. Thompson
of Cando to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of United States Sen
ator M. n. johnson it can at least
be said of the governor that he
recognized a faithful political and
personal friend as we'll as a credit
able citizen, which is saying far
more than can usually be said of
state executives, especially in
North Dakota. The old line DEM
ocrats-those who have been in
the lime light for years-were
hopelessly divided, many of them
being candidates themselves and
unable to unite upon any one, and
the governor had to exercise no
small amount OF tact to keep out
of the pitfalls that were set for
him, among others being a deal on
the part of the friends of Hon. T.
F. Marshall whereby the Fargo
News was to be unloaded by the
democratic stockholders onto a
willing purchaser, provided, with
emphasis on provided, their can
didate should receive the appoint
ment of senator from the governor.
MOI that this would have been a
discreditable appointment, but it
is mentioned just to show the ma
ny and character of the deals the
executive had to contend with.
1t is said that among the first
considered by the governor for
this honor was Attorney Geneaal
Miller, but Marshall's friends
hearing Of this exerted every effort
to head it off. But Mr.. Miller
himself at once went to the COVER
nor and asked that the indorse.
ments Of his friends be not con
sidered if it in any way embarras.
