Charles f. Serline.
We are, this week, publishing Mr..
Ser1ine's announcement as q candidate
for representative OF the 55th legis
lative district.
Mr.. Serline is well known to nearly
every voter in Kanabec county and
has a wide acquaintance in this section
of the state. He has been prominently
identified and labored faithfully and
industriously in the upbuilding Of
business and agricultural interests in
this county.
He has held many responsible posi-
tions, all of which to our knowledge
he has filled with honor to himself
and to his constituents.
At the age of twenty three years he
was urged by friends to become q
candidate for county treasurer. He
was nominated and elected, to which
office he was continuously reelected
for eight years.
For the past sixteen years Mr.. Ser
line has been engaged in the farm
land business and that of improving
wild lands and farming.
He has been honored by the citizens
of Mora, his home town, to many
public positions: That Of member of
the village council for five years;
president of the village council for
three terms, and is now serving his
fourth term; member board of educa-
ton, Mora public schools, two years.
He is at present, and has been contin-
uously secretary of the Kanabec Coun-
ty Agricultural society for six years,
and with his untiring efforts, coupled
with the support received from the
farmers and others, the Kanabec
County fair is widely known as the
best fair in this part Of the state. Mr..
Serline was elected treasurer of the
Minnesota Federation of County fairs
and is now serving his second term
In the beginning of the food con-
servation program he was appointed
by the United States Food administers
tion as County Food administrator
for Kanabec county, and the work con-
nected with the food conservation pro-
gram in this county has been handled
in a most efficient manner. All, Of
Mr.. Serline's time is and has been
since the beginning of the war, de-
voted to war activities and all mat
tiers and duties to help win the war.
He has always favored temperance
legislation, as is we'll known omong
friends and citizens of this county.
Records show that during the first
few years Of his administration as
president of the village council of the
village of Mora, and before the time
the saloons were voted from our coun-
ty, that law and order were strictly
enforced under his administration.
Saloon proprietors, whenever found to
have violated the laws governing the
sale Of liquor, were invariably pun
ished, and in one case, as the record
shows, one of the saloon proprietor's
licenses was revoked and he was not
permitted to again reopen. Mr.. Ser
line was one Of the first citizens of
Mora who took stand against the sa-
loon and liquor interests and fought
and voted to abolish the saloons.
He is closely identified as well as
a member of several farmers COOP
erative interests established in Kama
bee county, and to these interests he
has given special attention and has
assisted in every way in establishing
and the lettering Of markets for farm
produce, and the farmers Of this
county have always found Mr.. Serline
to be loyal friend in all their inter-
ests, and we believe at the next gen
eral election that they will not only
give him their support but will also
use their efforts in securing his cleo
ton, which will mean honesty and
fairness in all legislation for agricul-
tural interest in his district and the
state at large.
