up their property and take proper
care of it, and to he.p prevent fires.
We can save an enormous amount of
money each year by preventing fires.
To the end that the people of the
state may cooperate with the State
Fire Marshal's Department in the re-
duction TO loss by fire. ! hereby des-
isnate Monday. October 9th. 1916. as

charges Mr.. Curtis took up singly and
proved his case.
He had challenged Judge Allen to
a series of debates in July on the
charges preferred, but judge-like and
dignified. the present incumbent had
paid no attention to the charges. Mr..
Curtis was going out in the district to
prove his case anyway.
Some of the charges preferred were
that the Judge had failed to hold court
at times fixed by law. that he played
politics in the decision of cases. that
he shirked responsibility to suit his
own personal convenience. that he il
incompetent to sit as a trial judrP,.

DEMOCRATS HAVE
SHOT BIG GUN
GOV. BURKE HERE IN CAMPAIGN
FOR SENATOR
ExtoIs the Administration, and Goes
Hard After che Farmer and
Progressive Vote

Hon. John Burke, the idol of the
North Dakota democracy, three times
governor of North Dakota by the
grace OF the progressive republicans,
and now United States treasurer
through the scrapping OF Terrible
Teddy, as lie is pleased to call him,
held the boards in Oakes last night to
fair sized audience at the opera
house.
Governor Burke. as he is best
known to North Dakota audiences, has
lost none Of his virility of ten years
ago. 1t was his campaigning that
won for him the gOvernorship. and ii
is his campaigning that will take him
to the United States senate. If he ever
gets there. Yesterday he spoke at FL
lendale in the morning, at Edgeley in
the afternoon. at Oakes in the even
ing. and went to LaMoure last night.
where he starts out this morning.
The address of the governor was
but brief one for the present nation
al administration. He spoke of the
legislation that had been enacted
since the present administration took
hold. the tariff law. the national bank
law. the rural credit law. the anti
trust law. the good roads law. All of
these were of great benefit to the
country. in the estimation of the
speaker.
He told how the diplomacy Of Pres
ident Wilson saved this country from
being mixed in the European war.
Pictured the horrors of those bloody
battlefields. and Of the terrible things
we were missing by staying out of
the war. He ex0nerated Mr. Bryan
for resigning from the cabinet,
when the latter believed this country
on the verge of war with Germany.
Wilson's diplomacy had again won
its victory.
The speaker ha.' not much to say
Of the Mexican problem. He showed
up the events leading to the unseat.
ing Of Provisional President Huerta.
Our trouble in Mexico was started
through the Hearst newspapers of this
country. because Mr.. Hearst was very
heavily interested financially in that
country. and was anxious this coun.
try interfere.
In prefacing his remarks Mr. Burke
referred to some of the things he &C.
complished for North Dakota while
governor. He worked with the pro.
gressive republicans to gain the legis.
lation they wanted. and his appeal of
last night was for votes of the pro-
gressives and of the farmers. He is
playing particularly strong to the
Nonpartisan League and the Society
Of Equity.
Attorney j. A. Mckee introduced
the speaker. spending about twenty.
five minutes in a little speech of his
own. He told OF how he had heard
Justice Hughes years ago and how
favOrably this great lawyer had in,
pressed him. but this impression had
faded away since the republican can
ddate was endorse: by the Terribl.
Teddy. Mr.. Mckee took up some is
sues Of ne campaign and discussed
them. a very impatient audicrc.
awaited the governor when the floor
was yielded to him.
