their abnormality to the fact that each

USHER |, BURD|CK
FOR GOVERNOR.
FEW INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT THE MAN WHO WANTS
TO BE GOVERNOR OF NORTH
DAKOTA.

The Independent acknowledges q
pleasant call from Usher L. Burdick,
republican candidate for governor.
Mr.. Burdick's home is at Williston
where he is states attorney for Will
liams county.
Mr.. Burdick is good looking,
broad shouldered gentleman. He can
look you in the eye. He didn't look
bit surprised when we told him we
were for Governor Hanna, because we
wanted to see him finish certain work
that he had started out to do. We
think that he made mistake in get
ting into the race at this time and
told him so. This didn't discourage
him any. He said perhaps we'd get
a chance to vote for him next fall.
Perhaps, and maybe not.
At any rate, Burdick is in the fight.
He says he will make statewide
campaign. He is energetic and has
capacity for hard work. He's an old
football star from the University Of
Minnesota. He's going to try to kick
somebody's hat around the political
ring.
Burdick isn't q German ,as one Of
the papers stated. His grandfather
was Scotchman who was born in
Ireland. This is no joke. Nationality
doesn't cut much ice. The question is,
can Burdick? If Burdick wants to
land the Scandinavian vote, perhaps
he'll manage to have his wife accom-
pany him about the state. She is a
Norwegian and can "snock Norsk."
(This may not be spelled correctly.)
Burdick claims to be for prohibition,
woman's suffrage and 10 per cent in
terest as maximum.
We don't give these facts in hopes
that they'll get Burdick, any votes,
for he ought to be defeated, at this
time. He's good fellow just the
same and some day, who knows but
what he'll get what he wants?

bFULAH NEWL0YE
IS LAID TO REST
REMAINS OF ONLY DAUGHTER
OF DIR. AND MRS. ]. T. NEW
LOVE LAID TENDERLY AT
REST AT ROSE HILL.

The remains of Beulah Ellen, only
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. J. T. New
love, were laid tenderly at rest in
Rose Hill cemetery Saturday morn
ing at 1920 o'clock, Rev. Mr.. Baker,
the Episcopal minister, saying the last
sad rites. A public funeral for Beu-
lah could not be held and this made it
doubly hard to lay the little body
away, but many friends sent flowers
as last tribute to the memory of
one whom they loved.
The remains were placed in the
beautiful casket covered with wealth
of flowers and Friday evening, num-
erous little school mates filed past the
large window Of the Newlove home,
to look at Beulah for the last time.
Beulah was born at Towner, Oct.
10, 1901, and passed away at the New
love home in this city Thursday even
ing, March S, at a quarter to eight
o'clock. Four days prior to that time,
she became very i'll from scarlet fever
and as she learned the nature of the
disease, she had fear that she could
not survive. All through her illness
she inquired after the welfare of a
number of her school mates, i'll from
the same disease. The day before her
death she told her mother that she
could not survive, but doctors and
nurses worked with might and main
to save the sick child.
The blow has been most severe to
the parents, little brother James and
the numerous friends Of this lovely
child.
Her beautiful traits Of character
will live long in the memory Of those
who knew her.
