BURKE’S RECORD
(Dan Horrigan, in Lincoln Star)
Senator Burke’s statement to his
Grand Island audience that the Na
tional Labor Relations Board is re
sponsible for our ten million unem
ployed is on a par with another
statement made in the same speech
that he was a devoted New Dealer
until June, 1935, when the presi
dent turned so radical he could no
longer follow him. Both of these
statements are so preposterous
that no one with an I. Q. above thir
ty would believe them. Senator
Burke’s peculiar political conduct
has lined him up with the school
which insists that facts fear no
particular relation to history; that
history consists of whatever you
can make the suckers believe.
We had the unemployed in larg
er numbers before the National La
bor Relations Board was heard of
and no one save predatory indust
rialists like Girdler, Weir, Rand, et
al, who resent the collective bar
gaining features of the Wagner
law, have anything but compli
ments for it.

ord will show he never was a New
Dealer except in the way of lip ser
vice. He promised 100 per cent
conformity to get votes and deliv
ered a 10 per cent performance.
Long before June, 1936, to wit,
March, 1933, Burke, then a member
j of the house of representatives, to
| which he got a free ride on the
president’s coat tail and for which
I free ride he had promised 100 per
cent support, either voted against,
i or absented himself from voting on,
nearly all of the New Deal lcgisla
j tion enacted at that special session,
which included the Agricultural
Adjustment Act, the Securities Act
the Securities Exchange act, the
; Emergency Banking act, and the
act permitting the manufacture and
sale of beer.
It will be remembered that the
country was in a state of black pan
ic at that time. It was the most
serious crisis that had confronted
the country since the World War,
but to Burke it was not sufficiently
serious to call for his attention to
duty.
This was the record of the man
recommended by the World-Herald
in the senatorial primaries of 1934
as being best disposed to support
the president and the New Deal.
Notwithstanding this record, he a
gain promised 100 per cent support
of the president and the New Deal
to get administration support, and
again when elected he proceeded to
knife the president and the New
Deal at every opportunity.
As a senator he voted against the
Wheeler-Rayburn Holding Comp
any bill, the Wagner Labor Relat
ions bill, the Agricultural Adjust
ment act, legislation increasing the
tax rate on swollen incomes, the
Supreme Court Reorganization bill
and the Executive epartment Re
organization bill.
Senator Burke was elected to
serve an agricultural constituency
but he has betrayed them to sup
port the interests of Big Business
and industrialists. He has uni
formly supported the program out
lined by the Chamber of Commerce
and the National Association of
Manufacturers.
“When the evil was sick,
the evil a Monk would be;
When the Devil was well,
the Devil a Monk was he.”
That seems to fit Senator Burke
like a glove. From the beginning
of his senatorial career he has op
posed the New Deal and President
Roosevelt almost in toto, and has
seemed to enjoy it hugely. In that
way he acquired a good deal of
fame in big eastern banking and in
dustrial circles where he was and
is looked on with favor as anti
Roosevelt and New Deal. Because
of this fame he has been invited to
address bankers’ conventions,
Chambers of Commerce, American
Manufacturers’ associations, Union
League clubs and Bar associations
where the crucifixion of the presi
dent and the New Deal are always
popular.
Now when he is seeking re-elect
ion and discovers that the demo
cratic party of Nebraska is strong
in support of President Roosevelt
and the New Deal, he is trying to
make it appear that he has been a
good New Dealer all the time, but
has been misrepresented. He mak
es no attempt to justify his refus
al to support the president and the

THAT BURKE LEGEND
i (Editorial in Lincoln Star)
| -
If history bothers Itself at all,
which is doubtful, that legend of
Senator Edward R. Burke will
prove amusing.
He defeated former Governor C.
W. Bryan for the nomination on
the representation Mr. Bryan was
an old, self-opinioned, conceited,
talkative, crab who would stick his
knife into the president’s back and
embarrass and impede Mr. Roose
velt in his noble work. He defeat
ed Bob Simmons in the general e
lection of 1934 because Mr. Sim
mons was unalterably opposed to
the New Deal, and Nebraska need
ed a man in Washington to uphold
the president’s hand.
Now what kind of a legend is that
in a state which had established
Mr. Roosevelt as its idol? Pale
words, we sa, to describe it as ter
rific and colossal—better, it was
irresistible. So Mr. Burke went to
Washington. When he got there
something terrific happened to the
legend. Shortly he became the
snappiest, snortinest critic of the
president. Poor legend, everytime
it went to the looking glass and
peeked therein all it could see was
a bloody nose and a couple of dis
colored optics. Its creator, and
none could be more gay, more bold,
more debonair, and more reckless
with the image of himself which .he
presented to his constituency, sud
denly discovered he had opinions
of his own, independence of spirit,
and what not, particularly what
not. He was for and against. He
was in front and behind. He was
alongside and beside himself and
his leader. He was in a thousand
places, expectedly and unexpected
ly, uttering what to some were
brave words and to others, who had
been led by him to expect differ
ently, only a pain in the neck. He
was at all times gleeful with his
new hat, although at times it seem
ed a trifle small for him.
Now, with a new election at hand
Brother Ed is back with a new le
gend, back in the fold, back with
the folks on the farm, back with the
farm program, back with such a
spirit of nonchalance and bubbling
mirth that all who set eyes upon
him are supposed to cry; “Ain’t he
a card, a great fellow, with an in
exhaustible stock of humor.”
Brother Ed has made one con
tribution to Nebraska literature. In
his goings and comings, his halt
ings and his pullings, he has made
the tale of the Arabian Nights dull
stuff. Those characters hadn’t
been any place.
