IN n. D. WORK

T. A. Hoverstad will continue his
work as superintendent of farmers in
stitutes in North Dakota in connection
with his other duties as commissioner
Of agriculture for the 500 Line which
he has been pursuing since the 1,st
of last September with headquarters in
the city of Chicago.
Professor Hoveretad arrived in the
city this morning from the east to be-
gin planning for the farmers institutes
in North Dakota, and he expects to
take up his residence in the city about
the first of the year and will take
part in the Tri-State Grain Growers
convention and the other meetings
that are to be held the same week dur
ing the month of January.
~ have been all over the northwest
studying conditions" said he to The
Forum this morning, "and I want to
say that they are in excellent shape,
aside from the wet weather about
threshing time and the lack of harvest
hands and threshers. But these things
may be a blessing in disguise if they
force the farmers to prepare for such
emergencies in the future.
"I think the farmers of North Da.
kota and the northwest in general are
the best group of farmers in the world.
| You must remember that It was only
few years ago that they started
without anything and have reached
this already high eminence in their
work. It is remarkable and I don t
| think there is any reason in the world
for censuring the farmers of the
northwest for their achievements have
been really remarkable. The North
Dakota farmer particularly needs No
criticism. lie started his e.srm cmpty
handed and has succeeded even be-
yond his widest hopes.
"We hope to have series ef the
best farmers institutes that the state
has ever had, and I shall begin the
work at once Of preparing for them.
I love North Dakota and her people
and while have seen a great deal Of
territory in the past few months we
lose nothing by comparison with other
states.D

n 'DOWELL STARTS
THE BURKE BOON

A non-parrisan boom for Gov. John
Burke Of North Dakota for a cabinet
lpsition, respectively that Of secre-
tary Of the interior, in the approach
ing administration, is the plan of the
Ackertail democracy and will be
formally launched within few days
by Sen. Wesley c. Mcdowell Of Mar
ion.
The idea Of the non-partisan boom
for Governor Burke originated with
John Bruegger of Williston, the dem
oeratic committeeman from this state
and has been generally approved BY
all the democratic leaders of the state.
Mr.. Bruegger and Sen. Mcdowell have
fully discussed the advisability of the
matter and the LaMoure county sena-
tor Will assume active charge Of the
movement not only IN this state but
throughout the northwest.
Senator Mcdowell was in the city
last night in conference with several
prominent Fargoans at the Gardner
hotel and stated his intentions of
sailing non-partisan meeting to be
held in Fargo within the next ten days
to erystalize the sentiment among the
the North Dakotans for Burke's ap,
continent to cabinet position.
"Politics should be forgotten in this
matter,' said Senator Mcdowell last
night to Forum representative. Gre
publicans should philosophically &C.
eept the fact that democratic ad
ministration is coming into power anc
make the best of it. They ought tc
join in this movement to bring Nortt
Dakota to the front in national af
fairs and the appointment Of a NORTH
Dakotan to the cabinet will cerainly
bring national recognition to our state
For that reason alone, If for non'
other, everybody should join in en-
dorsing John Burke for an importan
post in the next administration
It is the plan OF Senator Mcdowell
at the approaching non-partisal
meeting endorsing Governor Burk'
which he is to call in Fargo in tn
near future, to select non-partisal
committee Of representative citizen
