|. B. LAMBERT LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATE
BOOSTS OUT OF town CANDIDATES
Prominent Minot Lawyer, Himself a
Candidate, Says There Should BE q
Full vote for Mr.. Miller and Mr..
Smith

The Independent is pleased to give
herewith a few facts concerning. the
life of Attorney Frank B. Lambert
one Of the candidates for the legss-
lature from the 29th district, who de-
serves the support of our voters.
Mr.. Lambert was born on claim
near Glenwood, MINI, in 1878. The
father on account of difficulty with
his lungs, caused by exposure in tue
army, was compelled to go to Ore
gon, where he died when the subject
of our sketch was only months
old, leaving the mother to support
the four little ones with no help but
her hands. When Mr.. Lambert was
old enough, he worked on a farm
during the summer and attended
school winters. As boy he gathered
up washings on the streets of Roch
ester for his mother to do to support
the family. Mr.. Lambert has become
a prominent and prosperous attorney
and has provided for himself and
family a comfortable home in TINS
citv and the mother who worked for
him as boy is now enjoying lie
with her son in Minot.
Mr.. Lambert studied for his pro-
fession in law offices in Rochester
without pay and studied shorthand
nights, without a teacher other than
his mother to read to him, until he
mastered both shorthand and type
writing, when he was employed il
the office Of the Probate Judge, and
those of various lawyers. In the fall
of 1904 he came to Wahpeton, N. D. j,
and entered the employ of McCumber
& Bojart, where he remained for two
years when he was admitted to the
bar. He practiced law there for
eight years before coming to Minot
in 1906. While in Minot, he has had
one of the most extensive law, prac-
tices in the state making specially
Of litigated matters in both state and
federal courts. He owns several farm
and is conducting experiments on
them along the "better farming
lines. He owns one of the finest
homes in the city, is an active mcm-
ber of the Commercial club, President
of the Board of Trustees of the NJ. E.
church, first president of the M1not
Park Board and reelected member
of that body by a large majority.
Mr., Lambert is fluent speaker,
good in debate, and at home on his
feet. His family consists of wife, six
children and aged mother, who ID
Justly proud of her self made son
and his achievements. He thoroiy
understands the needs of both farmer
and businessman and has the ability
and desire to promote their welfare
He is a Progressive in politics, pron,-
ises support to the lMinot Normal, all
northwestern interests, and the state
in general. Not being politician, he
Z would hardly know how to act looking
for votes. He states that his time IS
GO occupied with his law practice ana
knowing that the farmers are busy
putting in their crops, that he can
not see that anything could be gain
ed by him or them by being held up
IN their work listening to politics IN
the field.s Therefore he will leave the
matter Of his nomination wholly IN
the hands of the voters and Will
cheerfully abide by the result.
In an interview with represen'
tative of the Independent, Mr.. Lam
bert stated that he thot It would pc
fair to have two representatives from
Minot and two from outside and that
\ Il would please him to see full vote
Tor the outside candidates and Jet
some one Of the three lawyers from
Minot stay at home.
