BURKE OUT With
DOUBLE ATTACK

jamestown. N. D.. Oct 24.-In his
speech here last night, delivered to an
immense crowd. John Burke. former
governor of North Dakota and now
United States. treasurer. attacked the
political records Of Senator Gronna
and Governor Hanna, and urged the
election of Senator Purcell and Frank
o. Hellstrom. ~
Mr.. Burke defended the Wilson ad-
ministration at Washington against
the recent attacks made by, republican
congressmen in this state who are
seeking reelection. The treasurer
said these speeches were but the reit-
Grafton of a set speech prepared by
the republican national congressional
committee for general use by the min
ority members of congress.
Attacking Senator Gronna and Gov
ernor Hanna, former Governor Burke
pointed to the political records OF
both. He said Governor Hanna took
credit for three-year homestead act
which belonged to Senator Borah and
CONGRESSMAN Kinkaid. and that SEN
ator Gronna' had asked permission to
deliver a speech in the senate to an
empty senate chamber.
"Senator Gronna," said the treasur-
er ssWrote q speech on the extraVa-
gance of the democratic administra-
tion, and then was afraid to deliver 1T
in the senate, knowing probably 1t
would be riddled to pieces. So he said
he did not want the other senator's to
hear 1t and asked to have 1t printed
in the congressional record. That
gives the people over the country the
Impression that he made great at
tack on the Wilson administration
which was unanswerable."
The close of the treasurer's address
was an earnest and eloquent plea for
every man to vote for Frank He'll
strom for governor and Senator Pur-
cell for United States senator.
