Burke Named Chairman of Indian Affairs Committee
The absence of Congressman Burke from South Dakota for two years did not diminish his stature as he was chosen to chair the House committee on Indian affairs. The post, held by Vice President Sherman until his promotion, goes to Burke due to his fitness and strong backing from the Indian department. As chair of Indian legislation and an annual appropriation bill near 60,000 dollars, Burke is trusted to wield influence and represent his state with able leadership.
