| Transcription | "When the farmers of the Northwest wanted to borrow money so that they could hold their grain, it was Honest John Burke who pointed out the fact that there was plenty of Federal money for the farmers of North Dakota in the vaults of the Minneapolis banks. There was not a public official or representative from this state who upheld John Burke's contention at that time. he fought it out alone and proved that he was right in spite of the criticism of the 'Big Biz."
