Imagine any editor of the state lower
ing himself enough to refer to the Hon.
John Burke, governor of the great state
of North Dakota, as "our splneless
governor" Don't you feel sorry for the
fellow? That's what the editor of the
Minot Independent did last week.
The whole tenor of his article was that
because a republican senator died and
was succeeded by democratic appointee
of the governors another might die and
be likewise succeeded, and that to meet
this possible contingency the people
ought to elect a republican governor SO
that he might appoint a republican sena-
tor in such a case. Suppose this editor
and the governor should stand side by
side and proceed to put and answer
criticisms of each other. Maybe the
governor would ask him to explain why
he lined up with the ''gang' against the
best sheriff Ward county ever had. In
telligent citizens of the state are too wide
awake to have the wool pulled over their
eyes by any such articles. John Burke
has been North Dakota's best governor
in years and has been an invaluable
element in the moral uplift of political
in the state. He has stood
with the people ut, all times and they
will show their appreciation of his value
to the state as its chief executive at the
polls this fall.-Sherwood Tribune.
