ton, who will succeed James Shea as
United States marshal for North Da-
lzota, is expected to arrive in the city
from Washington either this evening
or tomorrow. III
Mr.. Doyle's appointment was made
by President Wilson several weeks
ago, but his confirmation was held up
Fin the senate for a, long tine by ef-
forts of the democratic STAY, organ
ization, said to have been led y State
Chairman Macarthur and %ational
Committeeman Bruegger.
Mr.. Doyle successfully fon@llt the
Macarthur -Bruegger forces at Wash
ington, though the state chairman was
in the national capital much of the
time, and was triumphant in his fight,
in which he was aided by the He'll
strom and nllis forces.
Born in New England.
The new United States marshal was
born in New Marlboro, Mass. March
IL, 1871. He is of old New England
ancestry. Mr.. Doyle received his edu-
cation in New Marlboro and Pough-
keepsie, N, y. sa<a
In 1890 he became a resident of
North Dakota, the year after the, ad
mission of this state into the union.
For a number OF years he followed
| the ayocation of q travelling salesman.
Later he gave UP the road" and set
tiled in Darlington, entering the real
estate and implement business, in
which he is at present engaged.
Il He fully appreciated the opportuni-
| ties Of the James river valley country
and he has never had his faith shak-
en-. He has been a successful busi-
ness man and has been an important
factor In the DEVELOPMENT of the re-
sources of his, section Of the state,
especially Foster county.
| IN 1896 he married Miss Katherine
y. Leonard and they have two daugh-
ters, Misses Katherine and Elizabeth
Political ReceFS.
MIR. Doyle has been a po1itiCJs4 flg-
l ure in the state for some time, and
stands high in the councils of the
| North Dakota democracy. He was
the minority leader Of the lower house
at Bismarck for several sessions.
While serving in the legislature he
fathered tho non-partisan judiciary
law and was the active advocate OF
the establishment OF the present con-
gressional' districts. In 1912 he was
urged to run for congress from the
Second district, but declined.
/ His past record is without spot or
blemish. He is personally a clean,
progressive and aggressive business
man and good citizen, with full COM
plement of all the qualities of leader
ship, which will undoubtedly rank
| him high with the federal authorities
at Washington henceforth in the dis
tribution of patronage in this state.
Frank o, Hellstrom, on his recent
return from Washington. said in q
public interview that Mr.. Doyle's in
fuence would be the paramount fac
tor hereafter with the national capi-
tai officials. as the fight made against
| his confirmation was construed in
Washington's official circles that Nc
Arthur and Bruegger are openly fight
ling the Wilson administration.
| Will Live Here.
| It is altogether probable that Mr..
Doyle will move to Fargo with his
family in the near future in order that
he may be near his Office at the fed
eral building. .-s
| His advent into the government
building marks the first change there
1 in number of years. The other plums
| will soon begin to fall, 1t Is expected,
as the United States attorney and
postmaster are next.
1 For each or these there are several
/ aspirants, as in the case of the mar
! shalship, so other fights may be ex-
pected later, though among the demo
Gratis it is said that neither will be SO
| bitter, except probably in the case of
I the appointment Of United States at
torney. ..:
| e. S. Cameron Deputy
! With the announcement Of the con-
! |firnation of MT. Doyle it was stated In
Wahpeton that r. S, Cameron. former
county auditor of Richland county,
and later editor of The Walapeton
Times democratic paper, is to be
Gilbert Stout, the present incumbent.
| IF this Is correct, it has been said by
democrats who are supposed to be
ttin the know" that Mr.. Cameron will
have charge Of the Office at Fargo.
