this was the chance for them 10 bring
about the election Of United States
senators and congress smen. as we'll as
the election Of a governor
This election is not a question OF
the personality Of John Burke. Mr..
Burke is clever talker, witty
speaker. and a friendly neighbor and
citizen. But Mr.. Burke is democrat,
and be is the head and from, of the
democratic machine in this state.
By his appointive power he has
| filled the appoin,iye Offices OF the
state with democrats.
By his appoinlive power he has
named a democratic United States
senator.
By his appoin,ive power he is
ready TO name another democratic
senator or congress man If the oppor-
tunity offers.
By his appointive power he has
turned the institutions of the state

party. with one single exception.
While be is asking for republican
votes as non-partisan candidate he

The democrats are laying great
stress on the advice of Mr. F. +. Pack
ard 20 progressive republicans in this
state. Mr. Packard, who was in charge
OF the Valley City Times Record dur
ing the absence of the editorial man
agement short time ago, took &C.
caslon 10 publish in that paper a
signed statement. in which he said he
refused to be shackled by any pri-
mary law and advises republicans not

Hanna. Mr. Packard signed himself
as a progressive republican and in
less than week was editing the dem |
ocratic Fargo News. Mr.. Packard's :
republicanism does not seem TO STOP
him from writing democratic editor
ials and filing columns with fulsome
praise OF W. J. Bryan. the apostle OF
free silver and anti-imperialism and
the thrice defeated leader of the ma
tonal democracy. 1t is not unlikely
that Mr.. Packard was in the employ
Of the democrats when he took advan-
tage Of his republican associates dur
ing their absence and wrote the ad-
vice 20 progressive republicans. Mr..
Packard's assumption of political vir-
tue is for effect.
