WISCONSIN N0RSEMEN
CELEBRATE N0RWAY'S
INDEPENDENCE DAY
AT HOTEL PFISTER. MILWAUKEE.
Eiqht From Here Attended. Thomas
E. Torrison and Albert l. Hougen
Speak at Banquet.

Several hundred Wisconsin Nor
wegians gathered at the Hotel Pfister
last Thursday evening and celebrated
Norway's Independence day, May 18th,
ina manner that will long be remembered
by all who participated in the festivities
of the occasion, a grand banquet being
the feature of the celebration.
Eight Manitowoc Norwegians were in
attendance. Thomas E. Torrisop, A. l..
Hougen A. j. Torrison, John S. Unger,
Rev. p. E. Thorsen, g. H. Kiland, Gust
Nyhagen, AMI Cornelius Madison.
The Stars and Stripes and the new
flag of Norway were much in evidence
in the festive room at the Pfister.
Governor Davidson was present.
Previous to the magnificent banquet
of the occasion, reception was held.
Ten addresses, four in Norwegian and
six in English, were delivered at the
banquet, two of the speakers being
Thomas f. Torrison and A. L. Hougen.
Rev. Gustav Stearns of Milwaukee of
ficiated as toastmaste1. When Gov.
Davidson's arrival was announced, the
states chief executive was rendered an
ovation by the large assemblage Of
representative Wisconsin Norsemen.
In introducing T. E. Torrison, former
mayor of this city, the toastmaster took
occasion to speak of ''the large and
powerful Torrison family-eight sons. y
The subject of Mr.. Torrison's address
was, The Norsemen in America" He
spoke in part rs follows:
"If this banquet be criterion, Morse
men are legions in this country; if this
magnificent audience is representative
of the state Of Wisconsin only, what
must be the representation throughout
the country And we find them all over
the United States. We find them oc.
cupying positions of first rank. We find
them in both houses of congress. We
find them in the executive chairs of
states. Norwegians are prominent
engineers throughout the country. They
are at the head of colleges, schools and
hospitals. They came from the land of
the nidni ; ht srp destitute ana without
influence By dint of hard work and
characteristic integrity they have risen
to places of recognition and prominence. "
District Attorney Houeen was the
last speaker of the evening. His theme
was, America" He said in part; This
is not an Anglo Saxon nation, bnt an
American nation; and in this American
nation the Norseman has part. We
have before us the emblem of independ
ent Norway and also the greater emblem,
the Stars and Stripes.
Norway is a good place TO be born in,
but America is better place to live in,
The Norseman is easily assimilated, and
soon acquires the desire to vote. In the
Norseman we find all the qualities of
good citizenship
