serving his second term as a member
of the lower branch of the legislature
yesterday. His election two years
ago, was one of the most heated in
the forty-f0urth district. Records
show that during the last session his
vote was always cast intelligently and
for the very best interests Of the
state. F. ]. Haines, of White Earth.
is Representative Maddock's political
colleague from that district. go
Friends of C. l. Christensen of
Grafton, representative " from the
Fourth district are telling little
story on the law-maker, which is usu-
ally at his expense. Six years ago,
Christensen was elected to the house
from the Third district. About three
years ago, the representative changed
his residence from the Third to the
Fourth district and, although not en-
dorsed by the league, was elected to
serve this term. Christenson's friends
say that the law-maker knew he
couldn't be elected again from the
Third, so moved to the Fourth. Chris
tenson will align himself with the
league. E. .'
