Here is an endorsement Of Col.
Little's candidacy for U. s. senator
that ought to count double, its
source considered:
Valley City Times-Reeord: Since
statehood Colonel Little has been a
member Of the state senate and
chairman of the judiciary committee,
the only member who has held the
same position in the legislature and
the same craftsmanship for twenty
years. He is an aggressive legislator,
a good politician and faithful under
all circumstances to his home town
and home section Of the state.
Whatever else may be said Of Col.
Little, he is a genial gentleman. a
loyal friend and hard worker. His
record in the last legislature was
good and it would seem that he
would be a formidable opponet Of
Senator Hansprough for the coveted
senatorial mantle.

G. B. Little was born in Pembroke. New Hampshire, in November,
1857. His early life was spent on the farm: He prepared for college at
Pembroke Academy and graduated from Dartmouth College. He stu
died law at Harvard Law School and in the Office of Chase & Streeter.
Concord, N. H. Arriving in Bismarck in 1882, he began the practice of
law with James A. Haight as a partner. In 1884 he was elected Judge
OF the Probate court and was reelected in 1885. Governor Gilbert A.
Pierce in 1885 appointed him Inspector General of the Dakota Militia
with the rank Of Colonel. He served for three years. On the admission
of North Dakota to the Union he was elected State Senator from Bur-
leigh County and has served in that position continuously since that
time. During all this time he has been chairman of the judiciary
committee which has given him an opportunity to shape the most
important legislation in this new state. He was president pro tempore
of the senate in the session of 1s96-97. He served on the Republican
State Central Committee for years and was chairman Of the State
Convention in 1898. He was president Of the City Board Of Education
for two terms. In 1886 he was made president of the Capital National
Bank. In 1895 he purchased a controlling interest in the First National
Bank and consolidated the two under his own management. It is one.

The state is being flooded with
what purports to be the legislative
record Of Senator G. B. Little. It is
plain enough to any n at all ia

that the writer of that record" set
out not to enlighten the public, but
to victimize Mr.. Little. The latter
has been chairman of the most i'm
portant senate committee, the judi
ciary, continuously ever since the
first state legislative session IN 1880.
During that time several thousand
bills have been referred to this COM
