PROF. n. n. AAkER,
Nominee for Lieut.. Governor

Prof. Aaker was born in Iowa. of
Norwegian parentage, and is forty
years OF age. After several years at
Luther College and Stacks Business
College, Decorah, and at the Northern
indiana Normal School and Business
institute he served five years as an
Instructor at Willmar Seminary and
is now closing his eleventh year at
Concordia College, Moorhead, the last
nine as principal. 80
Our nominees first vote was cast
for the Prohibition party. He has
been our candidate for County Super
intendent of Norman county, Secre-
tary of State and Member of Con-
gress. In 1890 he was elected mayor of
Moorhead, receiving more votes than
the combined vote Of the two oppos-
ing candidates. He gave the city the
best business administration which it
ever enjoyed, reducing it's debt more
substantially than any former admin
istration. His effort to enforce the
laws in this rum-ruled city was also
eminently successful

manner in which, in all it's stages, he
has managed our case. His work has
been most painstaking. His positions
have been both courageous and rea-
sonable and have been defended ably
and eloquently. Loyal Prohibitionist
as he is. he has endeared himself anew
to the Prohibitionists of st. Paul and
laid those of the entire state under
great obligation to him.
st. Paul Prohibitionists realized
that they were fighting not only their
own battle but that of the Prohibi-
tionists of the entire state as well.
For the denial by the Supreme Court
of our right to nominate in convention
applied to all Offices throughout the
state, except state Offices and a few
village Offices, and if we were now to
be also denied the right to nominate
by petition, our plight would be pitt
able indeed. But the fight is not over.
Mr.. Griggs will appeal his case to the
Supreme Court, hoping for a decision
which will prevent our nominating by
petition hereafter. On the other hand

our attorney has applied to the Su-
preme Court for rehearing of the
case which it decided against us.
The campaign which st. Paul Pro-
hibitionists had intended to prosecute
was made impossible by the persis-
tent opposition Of our political foes.
This lack of propagandism was par
TALLY offset by the publicity which
our fight in the courts gave us, the in
dignation toward the machine and the
sympathy with the brave young party
which it aroused. So that Mr.. Fitz
received 341 votes as against 575 two
years ago, while our city and assem-
bly, ticket, voted for over the entire
city, received an average of 571 votes
Later: The supreme court has denied
our application for a rehearing on our
right to nominate by convention.
