THE VOTERS CHOICE.

The citizen of North Dakota who Is
in the habit of giving thought 10 the
political situation and weighing care
fully all things pertinent before he
casts his ballot finds himself confronted
with a choice between the re election of
John Burke or a return to the Goml-
nation of tho old guard. And If he is
honest with himself and holds the
proper patriotic regard for the welfare
of his state it is easy to see what must
be his state. 1t is easy to see what must
North Dakota do otherwise than re-
elect Governor Burke? What is there
to commend c. A. Johnson? Has he
aver declared what would be his policy
if he we're in the governors chair? Has
he ever declared himself in any way
but by glittering generalitie that tell
nothing except what people already
know-that the gang he serves has
handed him his policies long ago, but
they are not for publication. Just in
what form they may have come from
the Office of Alex McKenzie, commander
in chief of North Dakota old guard, is
not known, but the spirit Of the message
we are sure of. 1t would be a command
to urn over to the gang all the Offices
and institutions of the state, to obey
the mandates of the gang in all things:
be kind to the railroads and play fast
and loose with the peoples profit and
glory of the old guard.
1t is not strange that good men and
true, whether democrats or republicans,
turn again to JOHN Burke. They know
MIN to be honest and sincere. patriotic
andjust, able and above all true to the
people. They know that no ring Of
correct political f~reebootcrS can lead
him around by the nose They have
seen in the past four years that he has
stood for the enforcement Of law, tho
square deal for every citizen of the state
and the proper division of the burdens
Of taxation. His record is one the whole
state can be proud of. At home and
as the states representative abroad he
has done full justice to his duties and
has reflected credit and honor and
glory upon the office he has filled.
Unless we are to take a backward
step Gov. Burke must be reelected.

f ASKING WHY

A large number Of the people of the
state are asking questions, why doesn't
G. a. johnson come before US on the
platform and tell us on the platform
what he stands for: how does
he expect us to support MIN when
he hides away from US: why doee he
fear to meet the people?" Why? 1t is
not strange that they ask the question.
During this campaign, as we'll as in his
former one, G.. A. johnson has never
dared is appear before an audience in
the larger towns and cities. He has
attended a few meetings in smaller
towns and some schoolhouse meetings.
but even here he has no message to
deliver and the people cannot be blamed
for concluding that he is lacking in the
ability to express his beliefs or that he
is muzzled by the gang he serves. The
people want a governor who has ideas,
one who thinks deeply and who can ap.
pear and acguit himself with credit
on the speakers platform. They know
he will frequently be called upon to dc
these things and that it Is important
that he do it well. And that is just one
of the reasons they have for voting for
John Burke. He has conviction and he
never lodges an opportunity to tell in
his clear, forceful, convincing way what
thew are.

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR

The democratic ticket presents for
consideration by the voters candidates
for the United States senate and the
house of representatives of which they
are Justly proud. They are men of
ability and training which we'll fits them
to represent the people of North Dakota
in the nations halls of legislation and
they can be depended on to work for
the interests of the people and not on
behalf of the special interests. Those
who are awake to the situation that
confronts this nation, who are d~issatis-
fed with the tariff legislation passed by
the republican administration and who
desire that the voice of the common
people be heard in their own interests
owe their support to the democratic
candidates.
John Bruegger, of Williston, is the
candidate for the six year term in the
senate. His motto, "A business man for
business methods truthfully suggests
his claim upon your support. Mr..
Bruegger has made a remarkable
success of his own business. He knows
what are your needs in the way of
legislation and has the qualities of mind
and heart that will guarantee that he
can make a success of your business.
Mr.. Bruegger was born In WATERFOWL,
Wisconsin, o October, s, 1860, of
German parentage. He was educated
in the common schools and took his
post graduate course in the vicinity Of
hard knocks. He came to North Dakota
in 1887 and located at Willistcn where
he has built up a splendid mercantile
business. He is at present mayor Of
Williston and in that capacity has given
his, city the best administration 1t has
svsr had. Ever since the organization

of Williams county Mr.. Bruegger has
been the biggest individual taxpayer in
that county.
Senator w. e. Purcell. of Wahpeton.
is a man who has been tried in the
capacity of a public servant and has
made good. He seeks reelection to the
senate for the four year term and his
record during the short time that he
has been a member Of that body entities
him to an endorsement at the hands of
tho people of North Dakota. During the
last session of congress, Senator Purcell
advocated and supported progressive
legislation and because of his splendid
ability took at once a T ointment part in
the councils of the upper house of con-
gress. Shortly after he qualified as
junior senator from North Dakota he
was chosen as a member of the Ballinger
investigation committee. Senator Pur-
cell was born at Pennington, N. j., on
August 3. 1856. He was educated in the
common schools and latter studied law.
He anne to Dakota in 1881 and settled
at Wahpeton. He has been United
States attorney for the territory, a
member of the constitutional convention
and held the Office of state senator. He
is a forceful speaker and his legal train
ing is a valuable asset in his work in the
in the legislative chamber

Do the people want the Mckenzie
gang to again assume absolute control
OF North Dakota? Do they want the
board of equalization, the board that
adjusts the valuation and really fixes the
tax values to be controlled by the inter
ests? DO they want every appointee in
the state to be named because he is a
political tool rather than a competent
citizen? Do they want to aid in the
regeneration of a corrupt political
machine to again get the death grip on
the treasury of the state? If they do
they can and all this by defeating
Governor Burke. But if they want a
continuation of the clean business adj
ministration of the state affairs, if they
believe the merit system should prevail
If they are proud of the fair name of the
state they will disregard the plea fol-
party loyalty and stamp it as merely q
play for graft-and cast their votes on
November Sth, for John Burke for
governor-knowing when they do that
they are performing their duty as citi.
Zens rather than as tools of u lot Of
fellows who itch for office.

1T HITS THE POINT

What a prominent progressive republi-
can says: "On the other hand, a vote
for y A. johnson means a vote for the
Kenzie control of the state the undoing
of all that has been done in the way of
constructive legislation if the legislature
can be controlled, and in any avent, a
halt for two years in the reform pro-
gram.
Personally, [ refuse TO be shac'lled by
a primary law and made to pull Nc
henzie's chestnuts out OF the fire and
will vote for John Burke for governor

HOW HANNA LOVES NORTH DAKOTA

He voted for the Payne-Aldrich rob
berry system-thus increasing your ex-
penses 1914 a year.
He voted to increase tariff on wool
thus letting Canadians get a New York
made suit for SIS where you have to pay
s25.
He helped to make American farm
machinery cheaper in Australia than in
North Dakota.
Why should you be taxed to enable
trusts to sell American made goods
cheaper in foreign countries than to
you?
Better vote for Col. M. A. Hildreth
and Hon. 7. d. Casey for Congress.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1910-10-27

There must be some good reason for
it when a man fails to carry his own
county and particularly his own city.
G. A. johnson ran 81 votes behind John
Burke in the city of Minot, the home of
johnson, two years ago and Burke won
in Ward county by q majority of 1899
And the fact that INT is persistent and
tries again does not better his case any,
II his own city and county refuses to
have him for governor, why should you
vote for johnson for that place?
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1910-10-27

In %criticising the vetolng of certain
appropriations the opponents of Cover
nor Burke have merely enabled HIM to
impress on the people the fact that in
each instance complained Of his action
was wise, necessary and statemanlike.--
