Crary Public Opinion: The Public
Opinion as a republican newspaper
will support the whole ticket as Sc
lected by the people, at the primary
in June. If party organization means
anything the candidates selected by
fair vote by the people Of a poll
tical party are entitled TO the full
support OF the press of the party.
There may be some independent vot-
ers who will vote for the men they
like best in either party, but a news
paper representing political prin-
ciple, has no choice, but to be loyal
to the party and It's candidates, after
same have been selected in due and
regular form. The Opinion is well
satisfied with the candidates selected
as standard bearers Of the. republican
party in state and county ticket and
hopes to see sweeping republican
victory this fall all along the line.
Beach Chronicles: Here is a little
political history that shows up the
self styled Honest john Burke who
Is q candidate for reelection as gov
ernor of North Dakota.
The last legislature passed num-
Der of bills appropriating large sums
of money for different things, but on
account of shortage of funds it be-
came necessary to veto number of
these bills and thus cut the appro-
priations down. The duty of cutting
these appropriations down fell on the
governor, John Burke.
Among the bills passed for John
Burke to sign or veto was bill in
creasing the state officers salaries, in
GLIDING an increase of $500 for the
governor. Another bill called for an
appropriation for dairy building at
the agricultural college so that the
school could arrange course to teach
the principles of dairying the legisla-
ture recognizing the Importance of the
| industry in North Dakota.
l. But John Burke, who seems to re-
member the farmers only at election
time, vetoed the dairy building bill, on
| the plea that the state was short of
funds, but when it came to the bill
increasing the governors salary
which, by the way, was introduced by
a personal friend who has since re-
ceived very high appointment at
the governors hands, John Burke did
not think of the states financial con-
dition. but only his increase in salary
and signed the bill.
In fact, Governor Burke, vetoed an
important bill that was of vital in
terest to the farmers of the state so
that he might sign the bill which
would increase his salary.
And still he calls himself Honest
John" Burke.
Churchs Ferry Sun: There is ev-
cry reason to believe that the ticket
nominated at the June primaries will
be Loyalty supported by the republi'
cans at the coming election and will
be elected in it's entirety. From all
over the state comes the report that
factional differences were settled at
the primary election and that now
there are no stalwarts and no insur-
gents, but just plain republicans who
as members of one Of the great par
ties of this great nation are ready and
anxious to stand by the party ticket
and help roll up one of the largest
republican majorities in the history
of the state and particularly is this
the case with regard to our nominee
for governor G., A. Johnson of Ware
county. For two successive terms
Governor Burke has received a very
flattering vote in his home county Of
Ramsey county that is overwhelm
ingly OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Mr.. Burke
was a Ramsey county man, but the
republicans believe they have done
their whole duty toward their towns
man; that in honoring a "favorite SON
1t has been at a sacrifice to party
= that in asking for a third term he Is
compromising his republican friend:
to such an extent that they can nj
longer recognize his claim upon them
but must support the party's choice
for chief executive. And the same Il
true with regard to the balance of thu
ticket-factionaT differences were set
tied at the primaries just as in forme
years they were adjusted at conven
tions; by majority vote the repub
licans of the state have selected on
representatives. in the senate an,
house as well as the official family o
state, and the ticket is composed o
able representatives of both faction
of the party who will unite the fac
tions, and as republicans should an
t will be Loyalty supported by every re
Il puDllCdH NOlSTs
The county ticket too is entitled t
the same loyal support, and for tn
same reasons as the state ticket. TIL
e task of nominating set of county of

can voters of the county last June
They have selected men to fill the var
ious positions of trust and honol

e peculiar fitness or qualification for tn
t office. They are of our own politics
flesh and blood. They will not re
ceive a single vote from the oppo
ing party, but should receive the vot

II family.
a Elsewhere in this issue appears til
ticket which the republicans of tt
state and county have nominated. Yo
had just as much to do with the 81

a man. 1t was the work of majorit
