IS TRYING TO FOOL
REPUBLICAN VOTERS
Governor Burke Appeals to Republic
cans to Help Him Build Up a
Democratic Machine.

Governor Burke is appealing to the
republicans of North Dakota to elect
a democratic governor for a third
term, giving as his reasons that such
an election would be in the interest of
good government, and as a rebuke to
the bosses.
Let us look into this appeal and
see just how much of it is in favor
Of good government, and how much OF
it in favor of the democratic party in
North Dakota.
At the primary election held in June.
1910, there were five candidates seek
ing the nomination of governor on
the republican ticket: c. A. johnson,
James Buchanan, H. H. Aaker, George
Wilson and Smith Stimmel.
Each of these men went before the
republicans of the state as republicans
and each urged in his own behalf
that he was the strongest and most
available candidate his party could
present to the voters for that Office.
The democratic party had but one
candidate for the nomination of gov
ernor, John Burke.
According to the laws of North Da-
kota due notice was given in the
three official newspapers of each coun-
ty within the state to the electors
that Q primary election would be hsld

On March 20, 1909. the governor We

increase the state aid to high schools
in the sum of $4,000 per annum. Civ

On March 20. 1909, the same day
he vetoed the above bill, and for all
we know in the same hour. the gov

which carried appropriations amount
ing to 325, 900 for the School for the
Deaf at Devils Lake. one Of the items
amounting to $4,000 and being for a

ness of the voters of the state whether

The Fargo Daily News and some Of
the other papers supporting Governor
Burke In this campaign are trying to
laugh the Republicans out Of court
because Of that part Of The platform
which reads as follows:
1--WE CONDEMN THE INCONSIST-
ENCY OF THE PRESENT EXECU-
TIVE OF THIS STATE IN THE

The governor on the stump and the
Democratic organs through their coll

Interpretation on this condemnation.
Let US look for a moment at the rea-
son for its being written into the Re-
publican platform.
On March 4, 1909, the governor We
toed Senate Bill Nc. 1Os, a bill which
carried the paltry appropriation Of
$500 per annum for the purpose Of
aiding the G. A. r. Of North Dakota
to publish, preserve and distribute it's
orders n proceedings and for ex-
penses incurred at state and national
encampments. The governor gave as
his reasons for his veto hat this bill
came within the prohibition of Section
1875 of the State Constitution.
On March s, 1903, just four days
after this veto, the governor approved
House Bill No. 10, which increased
the salary of his Office by means of
an allowance for expenses TO the
amount of $4,000 for the ensuing term
and which also carried a similar item
for other state officers. making an in
creased burden of taxation amounting
to $13,5O0 for The biennial period,
which bill also within the pro-
hibition Of Section 1855 of the State
Constitution.
On March 20, 1909, tie governor We

Republican elector of the state of
North Dakota to cast his ballot on the

was no h%inderance or obstacle placed
in the way of a fair vote and an honest

to be a republican there is no good
reason that he can offer for opposition

G. A. JOHNSON DE-
CLARfS HIS POSITION

Being the republican nominee Tor
the once Of governor ss the election
this fall, I wish to make It shso-
lutely clear ~ to where I stand on
questions Of public interest and i'm
portancs, 10 that no possible mis-
understanding may exist in regard
TO my position:
First: I am In hearty sympathy
with the republican platform - pro-
mulgated by the state central COM
mittee at Bismarck and win ~
every effort, II elected, to crystaliss
these promises and pledges into laws.

: and conscientious enforcement Of all
laws on our statute books, the pro-
hibition law included, and II elected
will do everything within my power
to uphold the dignity Of our laws.
Third: II elected governor, I win
appoint the best and most competent
persons I can find to fill public
Offices. No person who does not pos
sess special fitness for the place, or
whose past record and character are
in any way questionable, will be per-
mitted to serve the state in any
capacity under my administration by
appointment from me.
FOURTH believe in even and
equal justice under our laws and I
shall always act according to that
principle to the best of my knowl-
edge and understanding.

uals are entitled to their legal rights

Rurke a Clever Dodger.

Governor Burke is most adroit in his
public utterances in always placing
himself before the public in the best
light. Whenever an official act Of his
is criticised, the governor Immediately
lodges behind the republican legisla-
ture, or some board of which he is q
member on which there is a republican
majority, and denies his responsibility
or claims that it is unfair and unjust
to criticise him when as a matter Of
fact the republican legislature or re-
publican board of which he is a men,
Der is to blame. On the other hand.
whenever the republican legislature, or
q republican board Of which the gov
ernor is a member does some act which
is creditable and which will produce a
beneficial effect upon Governor Burke
political standing, Immediately the gov
ernor claims in ~stentorian tones that he
and he alone is responsible. This will
be noted in all his speeches where he
charges the responsibility for all appro-
priations upon the legislative assembly,
lodging the authority of the veto lodged
in the executive office. Also when he
claims the advantage Of reducing the
taxation of the state, or increasing the
valuation Of the railroad corporations.
Governor Burke is certainly a very
clever stump speaker, but the auditor
who analyses his statements will readily
see his constant appeal for place and
nosition.

CONTRAST BETWEEN
THE TWO PARTIES
WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
DID THE LAST TIME 1T WAS
IN POWER.

Senator T. P. Gore, Democrat, Of
Oklahoma, in a speech delivered at
Dallas, Texas. in 1896, said:
1.-The trouble with the Democratic
party is, it is a party Of statesmen
without craftsmanship, patriots with
out patriotism, heroes without heroism.
Their policy begets farmers without
farming, laborers without labor, free
men without freedom.
1.-The Fifty-second congress had a
Democratic majority of 148, and il 1t
redeemed a single pledge, observed a
single promise, kept a single command,
or discharged a single obligation made
to the people Of the United States, 1
will quit the stump and retire from

So much for the Fifty-second con-
gress. What Of the Fifty-third. when
both senate and house were Demo-

dent? Well, they gave US the Wilson,
German tariff which brought a deficit
every year.; which closed our mills,
threw millions out of work, reduced

ket for his products and bringing ruin
and misery to the entire country. Do
We want a repetition of that Demo-
cratic period?

SOME VERY pertinent
QUESTIONS ARE ASKED
Would Roosevelt, La Toilette or Cum
Minis Have Appointed a Reac-
tionary as Senator7

The newspapers supporting Governor
Burke and the governor himself are
trying to convince the Progressive Re-
publicans of North Dakota that it will
be a patriotic act to elect John Burke
to a third term as governor. That by
SO doing they will be assisting the pro-
gressive policies of Roosevelt. La Fol-
lette and Cummins.
Think you, Mr.. Progressive, that as
governor of New York, Theodore
Roosevelt would have violated the wish
Of his party as expressed in a pri-
mary election and appointed a United
States senator so thoroughly out Of
sympathy with progressive ideas and
policies as w. E. Purcell?
Do you, Mr.. Progressive, imagine
for a moment that Robert M. La Fol-
would have d~isregarded the voice Of
his party as expressed at a primary
election n have appointed a United
States senator whose official record
had proved him to be a reactionary as
does the record of w. E. Purcell?
Again, Mr.. Progressive. can your
mind suggest any reason for believing
that A. B. Cummins. while governor
of Iowa, would have forgotten his sense
of mora obligation to carry out the
wishes of his party as fairly expressed
by the majority in a primary election,
and appoint as United States senator
a mar whose legislative record had
shown him to be at variance with the
progressive policies of his party as
does the legislative record of w. z.
Purcell?
Yet this act is just what John Burke.
governor of North Dakota, did.
Why, then, should any honest and
consistent Progressive Republican vote
to elect John Burke for a third term
and give him the opportunity to again
violate not only the letter but the spirit
of the primary election law and ap-
point another man Of w. E. Purcelrs
type as United States senator?

between the hours Of 8 a. m. n 4
D. m., on the 29th day Of June. The
notice further contained a statement
of the offices for which nominations
would be made. and the location of the
voting places in the various precincts
in each county.
In pursuance to this notice the re-
publican electors went to the polls
and recorded their choice for governor
as follows:
G. A. Johnson .............. 2O,6OO
James Buchanan ............. 1886
H. H. Aaker 1888
George Wilson ............... SOFA
Smith Stimmel ............... 1888
From the above it will be seen that
a large plurality of this 56,31S repub-
licans favored as their party nominee
Hon. c. A. Johnson of Minot. The
republicans of North Dakota without
let or hinderance, and without the in
PREVENTION of any caucus or conVen-
ton system, without the Interference
of any boss Or machine registered an
ex expression of their will in his cleo
ton.
How then can the claim of Governor
Burke that the defeat of c.. A. john
son would be a rebuke to the bosses
be substantiated.
Who were the bosses who secured
the nomination of c. A. Johnson? The
Republican Electors.
At this same primary election 1851
democrats chose John Burke as their
standard bearer. Hal m one of the
other five candidates been selected as
the republican nominee, would Gov
ernor Burke, the choice of the demo-
ratio party of North Dakota for gov
ernor withdraw from the race? No.
Had any one Of the other five cam
didates been chosen or selected as this
primary election, John Burke, demo-
GRAFT, would still be insisting that his
administration was entitled to an en-
dorsement, and that republicans must
vote for him in the interest of good
government.
When John Burke became a candi-
late at the primary election with no
opposition. it was well known by him
and by every voter in the state of
North Dakota that he would be seek
ing an election Nov. s and that he
would stand for the principles and
policies of the democratic party and
urge the election of every democratic
nominee for office within the state.
This appeal Of Governor Burke to
the republicans of North Dakota at this
time is made for the purpose of over
turning the will of the republican party
as expressed in the primary election.
Will the republicans of North Dakota
become the tools of John Burke and
permit him to again use them to build
up the democratic party in North
Dakota?

The above plain statement from
the Hon. c. A. johnson expresses
without any equivocation his pur-
pose and position if elected to the
high office of governor. This fear

port every loyal republican in North
Dakota who believes in fair play
