cratic banquet held In this state, Gov
srnor Burke was proposed as a candi-
date for h presidency on the demo-
cratic ticket by the faithful n en-
thusiastic democrats present; failing
to and the presidential nomination
they would strive to secure his nomin-
alton for the vice presidency.
Things move IN a pace. and the
scheme begins to unfold. A great plea
10 now being made for North Dakota
republicans to vote for Governor
Burke, for a third term, on the ground
that he is a "non-partisan candidate"
A dodger that Is being circulated
through the state by democrats, shows
on its face. the utter falsity Of such
claims to non-partisanship for their
candidate. The dodger reproduces a
cartoon taken from the Chicago Trib-
une Of April Is. 1910, which shows the
pictures Of 1--WE democrats. mounted on
traditional democratic mules. and des-
cribed as Yearly AT THE WIRE"
FIVE DEMOCRATIC STATESMEN
ENTERED FOR THE DEMOCRATIC
PRESIDENTIAL RACE IN 1912"
Among the five, IS Governor Burke,
the others being Governor Harmon Of
Ohio, Mayor Gaynor Of New York.
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, and
Governor Marshall Of Indiana,
The dodger also gives an account Of
Jefferson Day banquets held in var
ious cities at which democratic pres;
idential timber was trotted out
And the dispatch from st. Paul, telling,
Of the Jefferson Day banquet there
said:
st. PAUL-The overthrow of the
republican party in congress and in
the white house was the topic Of Min
nesota democrats at the Jefferson Day
banquet. Martin L. Wade of Iowa,
suggested Gov. John Burke Of North
Dakota as 4 candidate for president"
Does this look like a non-partisan
candidate? One who is plotting and
working to overthrow the republican
party in congress and in the white
house." Is that the kind Of a non-par-
ttsanship which the republicans of
North Dakota want to bring about?
Yet they are begged to vote for Burke
for governor because he is a "non-par-
tisan candidate" What marvellous
ROT!
Spreading the advertisement Of his
candidacy for the presidency on the
democratic ticket, and begging for re-
publican votes as a non-partisan at
the same time. This looks like playing
both ends against the middle, and by
one who is described in the dodger re-
ferred to as q MAN who put NORTH
DAKOTA in the HONOR COLUMN
Eager to crafty his personal political
ambition, he seeks to obtain an office
at the hands Of the republicans, under
h guise Of non-partisanship, and ex-
aggerated claims of service as a state
official.
To give some alleged reasons for this
coveted republican support the dodgel
says:
Governor Burke has reduced taxes.
How, Is not stated, u the reduction
probably referred to was that made by
the republican state board Of equaliza.

Q Burke is but one member. TIL.
dodger also says that the governo,

Is that 50? Ask anyone posted IL
he various towns of the state, wher'
the institutions are located.
The dodger is published by the Stat,
League Of Young Mems Democrat,
Clubs. with the approval Of Governo
Burke.
In tho light Of such partisan demo
cratic efforts to secure the election o
the democratic candidate for governor
and such a frank admission of the rea
purpose Of doing so, do republican vot
ers of this state think they would get
n~on-partisan ii they again elected Gov
eernor Burke? A man who is pledge
to do everything ito overthrow the re
publican party n defeat the repub
