BURKE FOR VICE PRESIDENT
Democratic Leaders Said to Be Set

SSuuOSs0SSS .V0NS'o S~sS ~ -
ting Up the Pins for Him.
With the conference at Devils Lake
Of a half dozen Democrats political
rumors have started which when run
down bring out one conspicuous fact.
When the North Dakota delegation
goes into the Democratic national con-
ton John Burke, now serving his
third term as governor of the state,
will be it's unanimous choice for the
vice presidency of the United States.
Ever since the political powwow
held in st. Paul, at which Burke re-
ceived tiattering recognition, there has
been a strong undercurrent in the
state for a Burke boom. Many of the
leaders, including Colonel Joseph NJ.
Kelley Of Devils Lake, look upon John
Burke as one of the strongest men in
the country.
When it was learned that the Burke
faction had better than an even break
to secure William Jennings Bryan's
support for any office that he desired
the North Dakota stock took a jump.
Just what the executive has for
the future has been the cause for wor-
rying on the part of the stalward fac
ton. Some feared he might make an
other campaign for governor. With
the announcement coming from a re-
liable source that Burke will not in
any event take the nomination again
that field will be cleared and from this
time on 1t is expected the likely ones
will be groomed in both parties.
