are proud to present the name OF A..
w. Stangeland to their membership

flee of Judge of the District Court.
A. w. Stangeland was born in
Sioux Rapids, Iowa, July 2, 1888.
His father, Adolph Stangeland and

to the United States and to Iowa in
1870 and settled on a farm. He re-
turned to Norway and was married
in 1878 and brought his wife back to
the farm in Iowa, where they pros
pered.
To Adolph and his wife were born
two sons, Charles E. Stangeland, in
1881, at Sheldahl, Iowa, followed by
Arthur w. Stangeland at Sioux Rap

This spring when the farmers and
laborers were thinking of timber for
the Office of Judge and County At

that he was nominated for Judge at
the state conference in June and his
endorsement was afterwards ratified

by the Montana Labor League which
organization has a large membership
at Wolf Point.

League for Judge.
