THE REAL DEMOCRACY
has been UNMASKED

1Ih0 DllN OlVNIHOnIU
Coming Of Bryan and Lind, National
Characters, Unmasks Burke.
The democrats in this state are
showing their hands.
Under the guise of non partisanship,
they have been beseeching republican
voters to help re-elect Governor John
Burke. They have insisted that party
should be forgotten and that republi-
cans should help elect a democratic
candidate for governor for q third
term.
But what is the real attitude Of the
democracy in this state: Is there any
real non partisanship in the democrat
ic party or in any democratic official?
How sincere is the democracy in ask
Ing republicans to forsake their party
and vote for a democrat?
William Jennings Bryan, a democrat
OF national stature, is coming into the
state and viii! make a sweep up the
500 line, along the Great Northern and
over the Northern Pacific. with rear
platform speeches.
For what?
TO tell the people Of North Dakota
! whom to elect to their state Offices
from non partisanship standpoint?
Indeed not.
| Mr.. Bryan is coming as the herald
| Of democracy to urge voters to vote
the democratic ticket, in order that the
democratic party may build UP itsIpo-
litical machine IN this state with
| view to the campaign OF 1912.
Do the republican voters Of the
state not begin to see that the nom
partisansh1p cry OF the democrats is
a trick by which they are being de-
luded by the democrats in this state,
and that the coming of Mr.. Bryan un-
masks the real democracy?
In addition to Mr.. Bryan. John Lind
Of Minnesota is also coming to tho
state to preach democracy.
Do the voters Of this state need Mr..
Lind's advice as to their choice Of
candidates for office?
Is MIR. Lind non partisan speaker?
Not by any means. He is simon
pure democrat, coming to help out the
democratic cause In this state. His
coming again exposes the real purpose
Of the democracy Of this state which
is seeking to build up a machine by
which it may control the state in 1912.
Have the democrats endorsed any re-
publican candidates for Office in this
state:
Not one.
They are fighting tooth and nail for
every office in the state. Is 1t possible
there Is no man on the republican
ticket who is worthy democratic in
dorsement: If so, why do the demo-
Gratis not practice the nom partisa nshir
they are preaching? Is non partisan
ship to he altogether in favor of the
democrats?
How long will republican voters OF
this state blind themselves to the rea
situation in this state? How Ions
will they remain blind to the
fact that the democrats, in seeking re.
publican votes for Burke, are playing
a clever game for the democratic part,
organization in the state? How Ions
win it ke before the republican voter.
awaken to the fact tina, an army O
game waruens, state officials of the an
pointive class, Institution trustees an,
others are working tuotl! and nail fo
the democratic cause?
The democrats already have for
micahie organization in this state
through the appointivc power Of til

in lis palMi"st days never had as ,igh

state want republican candidates de
