CHAS. B. FOUsEK
Candidate for Office Of State Auditor

Chas. B. Fousek, of Brule county, is
one of the best qualified young men IN
the state. He was raised on a South
Dakota tarm, educated in the country
schools and graduated with a degree of
Bachelor of Arts from the State Uni
versity of Iowa in 1908; the year before
he was admitted to the College of Law
of the same institution. While still at
college he was nominated for the Office
of county auditor of Brule county by
an overwhelming majority, and re-
elected later without opposition from
either party. In the capacity of coun-
ty auditor he was the first man in the
state to put a stop co the famous
"sheriff graft which was taking
thousands of dollars illegally from the
pockets of South Dakota tax payers

BURKE a POOR VOTE GETTER

If7SS2sUH&
Offhand attempts have been in eve
dence on the part Of the Burke boosters
III South Dakota to create the impress
sion that Burke has made q sensational
showing Of personal popularity in his
various campaigns.
The cold record Of votes shows that
Burke has been q weak candidate. He
has been regularly carried along by a
party majority and the manipulation Of
machine cohorts.
Previous to 1912, congressional can
didates in South Dakota were nominated
and elected at large. In 1906, after how
ing served eight years in congress,
Burke was defeated by Philo Hall. In
the primary two years later when Burke
came back he received 1876 votes
lessgthan Senator Crawford, $40 votes
less than Senator Kittridge, and 2154
votes less than S. w. Clark, nominated
for attorney general.
At the 1908 general election, although
Burke was elected, he was outclassed
in the total vote by his colleague. E.W.
Martin, and by the nominee for secre-
tary of state, auditor, attorney gener-
al, superintendent of public instruction,
railroad commissioner, auditor, treas
urer and attorney general lead him by
more than 1000 votes each.
In the 1910 primary the total votes
cast for congressional representatives
was 8lO2less than the vote on governor.
Burke received 2267 votes less than the
nominee for attorney general, and BIS
less than the nominee for treasurer.
AT the general election of 1910,
Burke got 875 votes less than the re-
publican nominee for state auditor, 1130
votes less than the nominee for treas
urer, 1908 less than the nominee for at
torney general. That campaign was
complicated by . temperance fight,
which resulted in a net republican gain
Of about 1000 votes. But for this side
incident, Mr.. Burke would have been
defeated.
In the 1912 primary, a district affair,
$50 republican votes were cast
against Burke, to 14,47O votes in his
favor. He landedhis nomination through
Q division of the opposition. At the
succeeding election Burke's vote fell
1870 short of the indicated republican
vote Of his district, showing at that
early date in the development of large
number, even in his own district, who
would not vote for him.
In the 1914 primary Burke was nom
mated as candidate for United States
senator receiving 25, 165 votes, less than
one-fifth Of the total number of votes
cast for governor at 1.-THE last general
election.
The so-called Burke popularity is
merely band wagon music from the old
reactionary chorus. Sioux City Daily
