Bisbee Gazette: G. A. Johnson, the
republican candidate for governor, was
the choice OF the republican party at
the statewide primaries and every re.
publican owes 1t to himself and to the
party to support him at the general
election.
All these honeyed phrases about the
pre- eminence Of Burke are but catch
arguments to get your vote.
Glendale Leader: This is no time
for any Dickey county paper to give
the candidate for governor half-hearted
support. c. A. Johnson is an honor
able, upright gentleman and straight
republican who has been tried in the
service of his town, county and state
and always right. He comes out in
fair and square statement of his views
on matters Of public interest and de-
clares positively that If elected he will
owe allegiance to none but the people
of North Dakota. G. A. Johnson is the
regular nominated candidate of the re-
publican party and as such deserves.
and has the right to expect, the undi-
newspaper, not only in Dickey county,
but the state as well.
Wyndmere Pioneer: The state Of
North Dakota never had a more eff
cient and industrious representative in
congress than Hon. L. B. Hanna. He
has served only one term, but has al
ready achieved in washington a repu-
tation for honest perseverance and
sound craftsmanship. Mr.. Hanna is
serving on some Of the most important
committee, and by his ability and gem
iality has made hosts of friends. For
this reason he has large influence and
is in position to be of great benefit
to his state. At the primaries last
June Mr.. Hanna received by far the
largest vote of any candidate for con
gress. There is no doubt of his cleo
ton to a second term. Everybody
should remember our congressman,
and vote for L. B. Hanna.
Bismarck Palladium Governor
Burke is seeking an election at the
hands of republicans. His party is
in hopeless minority. In consequence
he declares that party means nothing
and that republicans should not hesi-
tate to vote for him and thus give
him the power to appoint a democrat
to the United States senate, if va
cancy should occur, as well as name
democrats on all the boards of trus-
tees of the state institutions as we'll
as all other appointments which under
the law devolve upon the governor.
tain whether this plea for the over
riding of party is one which Governor
Burke held before he got into the gov
ernorship business or whether it is
recently acquired doctrine which he
is using to elevate himself into office
If it is an inherent principle with him
he is entitled to use and benefit now
without criticism If it is not, it proves
that he is advocating for others a
course which he himself has not pur-
sued, and urging others to do things
which he will not do.
In 1898 Governor Burke was a mem
Der of the state senate, elected as a
democrat and by democrats. He voted
for Senator Roach, a democrat and
the senator who gave that party it's
one majority in the senate by which
that body passed the infamous Wilson
free trade bill. Governor Burke did
not fail to stand by his party then.
During his present term as governor
"a vacancy occurred in the United
States senate. Governor Burke APP
pointed within few months two men
to that place, both of them democrats,
though the democratic party polled
less than thirty-fve per cent of the
vote. Governor Burke did not fail to
stand by his party then. AS a private
citizen Governor Burke has never sup
ported or urged the election of a re-
publican. He was a candidate on the
democratic ticket in Ramsey county
on different occasions when there was
no hope of election, merely to keep the
democratic organization intact and to
hold the voters in line. If memory is
reliable there were times when he was
the only aggressive candidate on the
democratic ticket
When did Governor Burke adopt this
doctrine of party disloyalty? Only
when 1T would serve his purpose in
overcoming a republican majority
which stood between him and the gov
ernorship. What must be the fair
minded conclusion as to the motives
behind it, if this be true? Nothing less
than that Governor Burke is using it
for his political advantage, when he
neither believes in nor has practiced it
in the past. 1t is not so much what
a candidate says when he is in urgent
need of votes as what he has done of
his own free will when not SO pressed
that is the foundation upon which the
voters base Judgment. 1t is appar-
ent that the party disloyalty doctrine
has never appealed to Governor Burke
when he had an opportunity to do
something substantial for his party. It
never appealed to him as a private
citizen and so far as known he never
voted for single republican in his
life; neither has he announced any in
tention of voting for any republican
in the coming election. The party dis
loyalty theory of Governor Burke is
entirely one-sided with the governor
the exclusive beneficiary.
