John Burke, one of the members of
President Wilson's official family.
In this letter Mr. Burke directed
himself to the situation in North

opposition to the reelection of
Governor Frazier in that state for
the reason that Frazier is backed
by the socialists and Ibid not sup
port the administration in the pros

Governor Frazier is a candidate
of the nonpartisan league in North

Mr.. Burke expresses himself in
letter to w. e. Byerly. democratic
state chairman of North Dakota,
in which he states the administra-

the nonpartisan league candidates.
Mr.. Burke says, among other
things, that Governor Frazier of
North Dakota, who took the same
position as his leader, Townley,
president of the league, lined up
against the war the same "as the
pacifsts, the I. w. w. and social
ists," and added, IF everybody had
taken the same position, we would
have been unable to raise the mon
ey necessary to win the war"

Connection With I. w. W..

by they should employ |. W. w. labo
ers. In speaking of this undertaken.

the l. w. W., can bring about this
agreement it will mean the transfer
ing of the balance of power from the
state government of North Dakota to
the Non-partisan league and the l. W..
W. You will remember that series
of meetings held in this state to ratify
the agreement on the part of the farm
ers resulted in it's rejection. Now, II
there are any members of the league
present l want to ask you If you really
believe that when LeSeuer was in
Kansas City, trying to put through
this agreement, telling the members of
The l. W. w. that it meant the trans
fering of the power of the state into
their hands, he was really working in
the interests of the farmers of North
Dakota? Think it over and see If you
can reach any such conclusion.
