HYPHENATED NORWEGIAN
UNKNOWN IN AMERICA
Statement Made by Speaker at Sons
Of Norway Convention Held at
Capital City.

Bismarck.-The fourth annual con.
vention of the Sons of Norway for
the fourth international district, which
was in session here for the last two
days, closed with a banquet at the
Hotel Mckenzie. Nothing is ever
heard of 'hyphenated' Norwegian in
America" said M. E. Hegge, of Hat
ton, district president of the Sons of
Norway, in responding to Secretary
G. N. Keniston's address of welcome.
"Norwegians coming to the United
States are Americanized before they
leave the old country. They have as
simulated American ideals under a
form Of government similar, and
amidst people whose love of liberty
is no less. A Norwegian in America
is an American; he has no need for
the hyphen. He promptly fits into
things in his adopted country"
