An Interesting Sketch of the
Career of Elmer Hoidale.

Einar Hoidale, Candidate for Cen
gress, was reared on a, farm in west
ern Minnesota, where his parents in
early years had taken up home
stead claim. Owing to the poverty
of the family, young Hoidale, while a
very small boy, was hired out at
meager wages as a cattle-herder and
farm hand. For many years he
worked around threshing machines in
the fall, and when winter came on
and farm work was over, he did serv-
ice as a section hand on the railroad,
and as well-driller.
For him no time was afforded for
play and very little for schooling, Lut
by spending his evenings at Audy, he
qualified as a teacher and spent some
of the winter months at teaching
school.
At the age of twenty years he be-
came an editor Of country paper,
and as such he was engaged until he
began the study of law in 1895. AS a
newspaper man he consistently work.
ed and wrote for the rights and in
terests OF the masses as against spe-
cial privilege.
At the age of twenty six he entered
the University OF Minnesota Law
! School at Minneapolis. Here he was
known as hard worker, and a skill
full debater. He graduated as presi-
dent of his class in 1898.
Mr.. Hoidale first practiced law at
! New Ulm, stepping into the place va

the latter was elected Governor. He
was successful in the practice of his
profession and was twice elected

Hoidale accompanied Governor john
