ture. He has resided in the state %
years and has been in the general mer-
chandisc business at Medina for about
Ii years. Mr.. Bollinger enjoys a wide
acquaintance in this section of the state
and Is expected to do some good work
! for his constituents.
Hon. G. c. Jacobson Of Bottincau cOun-
ty Is a member Of the legislature for the
first time, but his colleagues in the
house may rest assured that the inter-
ests Of his section of the state will not
| suffer as far as he is concerned. Mr..
| Jacobson is in the real estate business
now, but mas had practical experience in
the banking business, having, until re-
! Gently, been connected with the First In
! ternational Bank OF Landon in the ca
pacity Of cashier, with which institution
| he had been for about eight years.
Senator f.. #. Gronvold of Pierce coun-
ty is one of the master hands in the po-
| litical game. He was a member of the
house in the sessions of 1897 n 1899,
I and, in 1909, was elected to the upper
branch OF the legislature, where he has
continued to represent his section of the

university in 1903. Mr.. Haraldson has
been a resident of the former territory

Bottineau county ten years. Lansford is
! Mr.. Haraldson's home OWL and he seems
\ to think that it is one of the best little
| towns in the state and-perhaps he Is
| not mistaken.
Perhaps there is no man in the upper
! branch of the legislature who is more
| popular with his colleagues than Senator
Martin Thoreson of Fingal. Barnes
county. He served three terms in the
house, 1906 OF 90, and was elected to the
