Peter M. Ringdal, whom the Demo
Gratis Of Minnesota have selected as
their nominee for governor, is one of
those truly "big" men of Minnesota
whose public record is an open book,
every page of which stands as vital,
appealing reason for his election.
Mr.. Ringdal was born on a farm In
Goodhue county, MIMI, in 1861 and Is
of the first Scandinavian family to Set
tie in that section. He received his
education in the public schools of Zum-
brota and at st. Olaf college at North

naming as an express messenger until
he removed to Crookston in 1889 and
again entered the mercantile business.
Mr.. Ringdal was one Of the organic
ers of the Farmers Alliance and he
waged the war which put into the Min.

tiated many reforms, among which was
the agitation for state weighing and
