this state blind themselves to the real
situation In this state? How long
Will they remain blind to the
tact that the democrats, in seeking re-
publican votes for Burke, are playing,

governor. The republican organization
IN Its palmtest days never had as tight
and close a corporation as the demo.
cratic machine in this state today.
DO the republican farmers Of this
state want republican candidates de-.
Ieated and democrats elected? Do they
want to go back to low tariff, 5o-cent
wheat, cheap agricultural products and

democratic machine that will undo the
prosperity the state has experienced
in the past ten years?
The coming Of Bryan and Lind, the |
heralds Of national democracy, means
that the democrats are encouraged
with reference to the state Of North
Dakota-and the election OF Burke
means further strengthening Of the
democratic machine for the presi-
Dental and congressional campaign Of
1912.
There r nothing non-partisan about
this campaign. It II an out and out
issue between the republican party and !
the democratic party. It involves con. |
