There is good reason to believe that
Woodrow Wilson. president elect, will
select Gov. John Burke of North Dakota
as Secretary Of the Interior. It will be
q great honor to the state to have q
cabinet officer. and it goes without say.
ing that Gov. Burke would handle the
Interior portfolio ably. Gov. Burke is biz
enough to represent the entireNorthwest.
Three times elected governor of North
Dakota. strongly a republican state.
honest John Burke is a man whom the
Office seeks-a democrat whom men OF
all parties respect and honor. Governor
Burke has much more than a statewide
reputation for ability and integrity. In
the presidential primaries he received
a 6attering state vote and in the Balti.
more convention. he was we'll received
and lined North Dakota up for Wilson.
AS vice presidential candidate, he had
onthe second ballot nearly half the votes
with more than a possibility of receiv.
ing the nomination. He Withdrew his
name in favor of Governor Marshall.
His assistance to his party in the recent
campaign was very great. Besides
covering his wi state he was in great
demand elsewhere but was unable to
90 as requested. The PRESS hopes to
see Governor Burke's ability and service
recognized by a cabinet appointment.
