During his tenure in office, Sarles was frequently criticized for taking positions favoring big businesses, and for publicly drinking while the state constitution had enacted prohibition since its admission into the United States. Furthermore, Sarles was supported by a Republican political machine headed by Alexander McKenzie, who had been known for being a confidant of many top officials, and who had personally selected many candidates who later won state offices. In the lead-up to the 1906 election, many newspapers began to publish articles and editorials railing against 'McKenzieism', and the Democratic candidate, John Burke, who had initially not wanted to run, used this as a campaign point, becoming very active, and winning over many Progressive Republicans who had been looking to oust the influence of McKenzie and Sarles.7 November 1906 Burke and Fisk Carry State https://www.ndstudies.gov/gr8/sites/default/files/zoomImages/Unit3Lesson4Topic5/Doc01.jpg 23 October 2022 Bismarck Daily Tribune 1 Newspaper General election results 1906 North Dakota gubernatorial electionhttps://vip.sos.nd.gov/pdfs/Abstracts%20by%20Year/1900%20through%201908%20Statewide%20Election%20Results/1906/Governor%201906.pdf General Election North Dakota Secretary of State 1906 September 12, 2020 Democratic Party (United States) John Burke 34,424 53.20 28.55 Republican Party (United States) Elmore Y.
