AAKER IS OUT FOR
GOVERNOR BURKE
VSf'Y
Fsirgo, N. D., Oct 27.—The Fargo
Daily News this morning carries a
signed statement from H. H. Aaker,
independent candidate for governor at
the recent primaries, in which he de
clares himself in favor of Burke for
governor. Aaker appeals to the 11,000
voters, who showed their independence
at the primaries by voting for him, to
Btrike against C. A. Johnson and hu
political manager, Alex. McKenzie.
He says they whipped the element two
years ago, four years ago, and could do
it again. His statement in full:
"I have followed the campaign closely
and the more I see of ifc the more I am
convinced that the best interests of the
state demand that John Burke be re"
elected governor.
"Some of the methods employed to
discredit Burke administration are
such aa to disgust fair minded people,
and I, for one, refuse to be lined up
with the disreputable, blind pig element
of Devils Lake. If C. A. Johnson's
supporters choose to line up with the
blind pig element in the state, C. A.
Johnson pan no longer count on my
aupport,
"tic the main supporters of C. A.
Johnson are behind the movement to
diseMdit the primary election law as
the|: evidently arc, C. A. Johnson can
not get my support. It is now very
evident that McKennieiam, Atdrichism
and Cannonism are the same in this
state and vote for C. A. Johnson
means an endorsement of then all.
"If the main supporters of C. A.
Johnson are also behind the movement
to pack the supreme court of the state
inifce lntoffstsof the corporation*, C.
A. Johnson Can not get ay support.

A CONTINUATION OF THE OAKES REPUBLICAN
WHY SAM CLARK
IS AGAINST. JOHNSON
7"
His Fight on the McKenzie
Candidate Hot Inspired
by Personal Motives
'lithe People Are to Bule—
C. A. Johnson Most
Be Defeated."
Minot Daily Reporter: The Grand
Forks Times keeps harping on a theme
which the editor of the Times evidently
conceived Irom a speech made by J. M.
Devine in that city a abort time ago.
Mr. Devine gave forth the impression
that the only reason for the Reporter's
opposition to C. A. Johnson in this
campaign arises-by reason of the fact
that Mr. Johnson haa always stood for
cleanliness in city affairs at Minot and
that he was one of the principal forces
in the movement, which changed the
form of city government in Minot and
thereby ousted the Reporter editor from
the executive chair. The Times has
laid great stress on this statement and
the continual harping of the state press
on this one theme calla for a plain
statement of fact from the Reporter.
This claim that G. A.* Johnson has
stood for cleanliness in the city admin
istration of Mitaot is very much of a
joke to the people of tfiis city who
know. We call particular attention of
Mr. Devine and the Grand Forks Times
and all other gang paper! of the state
to the simple fact that while Mr. John
son was mayor of Minot, open saloons
and gambling dens flonriihed on Main
street, while soiled dftvW frequented
the hollow and there was no attempt
on the part of Mr. Johnsbn to suppress
these evils. We state a positive
fact that several saloona, with complete
bar fixtures and equipmeht and gamb
ling dens with every conceivable device
for fleecing the public* were in daily
operation on the main thoroughfare of
the city, and Mr. Jtihnion was well
aware of the facta. Whan it comes to
a comparison of administrations either
the Greenkaf or the sacdeeding admin
istration which was cqt sbort by- the
change to the conpniasipf jrolrnief gov
ernment, werecleanwnwra^than C:
A. Johnson's adminiitration. Tfha open
gambling dene continued in operation
until the beginning of the Clark admin
istration when they were wiped out.
.Adfl here -ia another fact which
might be racorded in thia connections
the' Reporter and the entire Clark- fol
lowing supported Mr. LeSeuer for pres
ident of the commission system, while
ifr. ^JAn»on did not. openly support
If Mr. Devine and the Grand Forks
Tiroes want a verified list of the
prominentsaloons and gambling dens
and thi^r exact locations aa they ex
isted during .the Johnson adminiatra
tion, the Reporterwill be pleased to
publish the list, and, further, we will
give the namea of those who operated
the joints.
Mr. Johnson's influence the com
mia*ion fight did not amount to any
thing for the simple reason that he did
not have any influence. The opposition
to Johnson is even stronger in Minot
today than it was two years ago, and
he will lose the city in the coming
election just, the same as he did before.
Why Mr. Devine and the gang press
of the state ahould mention the ad
miniatration of Mr. Johnson while he
was mayor of Minot we cannot under
stand, for from a moral standpoint
Mr. Johnson's administration waa as
immoral as any. the city ever had, and
the fact can be easily proved.
The, RepOrter'a opposition to Mr.
Johnson in this campaign ia not from
personal motives We simply appreciate
the fact that be ia a pliant tool—and
has been the tool for a number of
years—of the McKenzie gang, and We
recall that his election will throw con
trol of the state absolutely into the
hands of the old gang. Governor
Burke haa made good, and it is a safe
proposition to return him to office. If
the people are to rule—C. A. Johnson
must be defeated.

J. J. Sheridan paaaed away at hia
home two miles north of the c|ty at
ten o'clook Saturday forenoopi, October

Last winter in the hope of recovering
his health he went to a private hospital

little or no hope. He then went into

nois. In 1882 he moved with Ins family
to Storm Lakei Iowa, where he was
engaged in farming until 1883.
In the fall of 1883 he moved to Chi
cago, Illinois, where he was engaged in
the butcher business until 1883, when
he moved to North Dakota where he
lived on his farm two mileB north of
town up to the time of his death.
There were thirteen children born of
this union of which ten are living. The
children's names are: Mrs. Willis Har
rold, Wheatland, N. D. Mrs. Ernest
