BURKE WANTS SECOND PLACE.
There are those who do not hest

the gathering is to boost the stock
of John Burke of North Dakota for
the second place on the national
ticket. 1t has been known for some
time that Governor Burke would be
glad to land the nomination for vice.
president. In this connection Joseph
R. Keefe, representative from this
district, says:
"I'm for Woodrow Wilson and
John Burke. In my opinion they
are the two strongest men in the
country to head the Democratic
party in the next campaign. John
Burke is one of the strongest cam
paigners the west has ever produced.

we would not have to fear for the
vote in many of these northwestern
states"

cross of gold," but really that was
merely a bubbling spring compared
with volcano when lined up with
the present agitation.
Back of this onslaught is the smil-
ing. gigantic figure of William H.
Taft. When the presidents name is
mentioned, the Democrats rub their
hands with glee.
Strangely enough there seems to
be some suggestion that Minnesota
is to be classed with the doubtful
states. This is born not of the be-
lief that Minnesota is really chang
ing its politics but of the hope that
the progressives will beat it for the
Democratic camp and Woodrow Will
son.
Looming up in the haze of this
dawning campaign is the figure of
Fred B. Lynch, national committee
man from this state for the Demo-
Gratis. There are a good many peo-
pie who have never properly urder-
stood the relation this man bears to
the politics of Minnesota. If there
is man in the state today who has
more emphatically marked the course
of things than he has. he should
stand forth and be branded.
Lynch is some punkins. He was
there all the time during the john
son campaigns and he is there yet.
It is evident that he has organized
one of the cleverest campaigns to
capture the enemies territory that
ever threatened Republican success.
He has rubbed the ears of the domi-
nent progressives until they are
ready to eat out of his hand and
have docility looking like rage gone
mad.
With the old line Republicans see
ing red and sparring for breath of
wind he has arranged for the big
piece de resistance in st. Paul on
Jnne 1. The chief of all eloquence.
w. J. Bryan, and the greatest speci-
men of human sacrifice in captivity,
Alton B. Parker, are to attend. This
in the immediate and surging wake
of the New Jersey fire brand.
With this little game on here
North Dakota is to be whipped into
line by the power Of the Irish vote
getter John Burke. Burke has
twisted the tail of the Republican
lion in that state until the poor beast
has roared as "gently as a sucking
dove"
If his name were to go down in
history as the Democratic candidate
for the vice presidency in 1912 there
is chance that North Dakota would
forget the traditions of her fore
fathers and slip across the neutral
zone into the camp of the erstwhile
hated enemy.
Meanwhile Montana will be warned
of the political error of her ways by
