Edmore Herald: The desperate eff
forts the democrats are making to car
ry this county for Governor Burke
really shows that they are worried.
Governor Burke has personally cam
paigned from one end to the other in
this county and now we learn that Sem
ator Purcell is going to make a speak
ing tour of the county and others will
follow closely on his trail. They evil
IDENTIFY see that something desperate
must be done to put Ramsey county
in the democratic column Are the re-
publicans of Ramsey county going to
| allow this thing to happen or are they
| going to stand by their colors and see
| that this county rolls up q normal re-
publican majority?
Ashley Tribune: The significance of
| the entry of Bryan and Lind into our
state to fight for democracy, most GER
tainly indicates that they not only de-
| sire the election of Burke but are aim
ing to secure control of all appointive
power for democracy, in addition to
electing a democratic u. S. senator.
The Wilson tariff bill was passed Ca
| democratic measure) by majority of
one; you all know the results of that,
and the misery that followed. So you
can easily see the possibilities. The
question u.s. republican voter, do you
wish to help them? The old adage,
Let well enough alone" may here well
apply. When you enter the booth to
vote on Nov. 8, a cross at the top of
the republican ticket should be your
answer.
State Line Herald: North Dakota
Is again before the momentous uues-
ton, whether it shall commit itself to
the election of a democrat as governor
once more or not. Granted, Governor
Burke was right in every matter per-
tanning directly to his acts towards the
people of the state and towards these
only, what of the recurrence of an
other vacancy in a North Dakota SEN
atorship. The sequel showed that
Governor Burke either was unable to
meet the demand when il was un to
him to appoint Johnson's successor or
ne was from selfish motives unwilling
TO solve the problem with Justice to
the people of the state The naming
of man to represent the state and
nation at washington in the senate is
TAR too sober a matter to admit of
chance and guess work The results
that follow in the wake of a mistaken
cholce are too serious in nature to adj
NIT of levity. Vote this year for the
republican candidate for governor of
North Dakota, you North Dakotan.
and do justice and honor by your
party, which is too good and true
party to have an election joke perpe-
trated upon her.
Blaisdell Bulletin: John Burke is
trying to work few unsuspecting re-
publicans by claiming that he is
non partisan candidate. He is willing
to be nom partisan or any old thing
to get enough republican votes to elect
him; but the republicans are not to
be fooled. They will remember that
John Burke is also figuring on getting
republican votes because he is a dem
ocratic candidate for president Now
1t is pretty well understood that a man
must be sure enough democrat before
he need hope of being nominated on
che democratic ticket for president. So
there can be no question but that John
Burke is a democrat and that he is a
candidate of the democratic party. If
he is not a real democrat you would
not find a democrat in North Dakota
supporting him; If he was not real
democrat he would not have appointed
two democratic IT, S. senators. John
Burke's whole life has been spent in
the democrat party; he has been
-
ever since coming to North Dakota.
What do you think then, of a democrat
trying to get republican votes by mis-
representing his political principles?
Does 1t not raise question of John
Burkes honesty?
Crary Public Opinion: The demo-
cratic politicians are making desper-
ate effort to get republican votes for
Burke so that he may be reelected
the third time for governor of a re-
publican state. The object is to build |
up and strengthen the democratic ma
chine i'm the state. In his four years |
of office as governor, Burke has chang |
ed the political complexion of all the |
state institutions, so that all of them |
except one is now controlled by demo- |
Gratis. The proper way for all good re-
publicans to vote this year is the |
straight ticket. We are getting too |
much Burke and too much machine |
democracy i'm the republican state of |
North Dakota. In 1905 the republican |
plurality in the state ON candidates |
for congress was 1888. In 1908 the |
republican plurality in the state. on
candidates for secretary of state was
29,940. Above figures are taken from
North Dakota Blue Book 1909 Why
should the republicans OF this state |
turn it over to a democratic governor |
who is not representative of the whole |
people but only of the minority party? |
To prevent such an anomaly every re-
publican this year. remembering that |
the party has a good able and clean
standard bearer in c. A. Johnson, |
should vote the republican ticket from
top to bottom, thereby placing the
state where it normally and rightfully
belongs-in the republican column.
Leonard Journal: do YOU know
that it costs your family $112 year
to keep the present congressman in
office? Col. M. A. TIildreth and Hon.
T. d. Casey are pledged to give you
relief from this giant robbery" The
above is a quotation from a circular
sent broadcast from the state, league
of young mems democratic club; and
endorsed by Gov. John Burke, as his
name appears at the head of the circu-
lar. Now let us examine briefly the
extent OF this statement, which is evil
