TRIBUTES TO
HALV0RSON
In the galaxy of representative
men on the Democratic ticket
none enjoy higher esteem or
greater popularity than Halvor L..
Halvorson of Minot, Democratic
candidate for congress from the
Third district. Even the most
partisan Republican papers Of the
state have had a good word to
say for Mr.. Halvorson, and quite
a number have even east aside
party prejudice to support him in
preference to their own party
nominee.
Heads Minot Commission.
Such a standing in a commun-

ly be attained by clean personal
and public conduct. AS president
of the city commission of Minot,

his home people, regardless OF
party affiliations, are doing all
they can to send him to Congress.

Estate.
