BURKE EXPLAINS REFUSAL
Would Have Been a Candidate Had
Party's Call Been Unanimous,
He Writes.

Fargo.-Instead of trying to con.
ceal the factionalism within the dem.
ocratic organization in this state,
leading democrats are admitting its
existence and planning to heal the
breach and eliminate past differences
Frank recognition of the situation is
regarded by the democracy a. the
best method of avoiding long
drawn-out internal dissensiOn.
In recent letter to Colonel Kelly
OF Devils Lake, chairman of the "ex
ploring committee" named at the
banquet at MinOt to select a state
slate, former Governor Burke wrote
more fully In explanation of his de-
clinatton to become q candidate for
the senatorship. He stated there
seemed good reasons why he should
not at this time enter the race and
that under different conditions he
would have been pleased to have been
a candidate. He recognized the stu
alton when in conclusion he stated
he would have liked to have been a
candidate If 1t had been the wish of
the united party of the state.
In the selection of a ticket there
was comparatively little difference
except over the United States sena-
torship. Some believed George P.
Jones, the announced candidate, too
young, and wanted Purcell, who had
been senator for little more than
a year by appointment. Others
thought that as J. l.. Cashel had So
cured more votes in the primaries at
one time than Purcell, he should have
been named senator to have succeed
ed Johnson when Governor Burke
appointed Thompson and two months
later named Purcell.
While several candidates were sug-
gested for governor, the contest is
really between Kelly and Knudtson
and since the meeting sentiment ap-
parently favors Knudtson. There will
be no contest over other places on the
state ticket.

CROP IS ABOUT HALF IN,

Excellent.

Grand Forks.-Seeding is about half
completed in this section of the state.
according to reports. In the central
district seeding is about third done
and the same condition exists in the
extreme northwestern district. The
southwestern part of the state reports
that seeding is about half completed.
Heavy rains delayed operations here
last week, and the cool weather which
followed kept the moisture in the
ground. However, with large amount
of fall blowing done, results of the de-
lay are inconsequential. The skies
cleared and the weather became
warmer, auguring well for operations
this week. r.....

"Nonsenset' murmured Barnay.
Unfortunately he was overheard.
