c. E. BOHALL FILES
FOR LEGISLATURE
SAUK CENTRE MAN DRAFTED
FOR SERVICE BY LARGE
NUMBER OF VOTERS.
IS A HIGH TYPE CITIZEN
LIBERAL SUPPORT RENDERED
FROM EVERY PORTION OF
THE DISTRICT

For several weeks those interested
in having this legislative district prop
erly represented at the next session
of the Minnesota Legislature, have
been casting about for suitable can
didate who could be drafted to make
the race for this position. AS the
district was canvassed it was decided
ly apparent that the dissatisfaction
with the present representative pre-
vailed over the entire district. Other
portions of the district insisted that it
was up to Sank Centre to supply a
candidate with the assurance that
they would heartily support the man
drafted and recommended by those who
had been active in selecting suita-
BILE man. In the average legislative
district of Minnesota under the pri
mary election law, when the voter
enters the election booth he is
confronted with the proposition of Sc
lecting the strongest man in a bunch
of self-seekers. So far as those in
terested in seeing this district prop
erly represented, this hsa been
strictly case of the office seeking
the man.
The Herald is pleased to state that
inent resident of Sank Centre, a high
time president of the Ciy Council,
formerly actively engaged in business,
who was born and lived for thirty
five years on farm near Sank Gen.
tire, has been drafted for service. and
on Wednesday went to st. Cloud and
filed for the place with County Audi
tor Thomey. AT conference Tues
day afternoon with twenty-five Sank
Centre and Melrose business, profess
sional men, and farmers, committee
to handle Mr.. Bohall's campaign was
organized by electing Mayor William
Parker of Sank Centre as chairman,
and Carl Carlson, editor of the Mex
rose Beason, as secretary -treasurer.
Mr.. Bohall is not actively engaged
in business pursuits at the present
time; he is comfortably situated, and
in position to go to st. Paul and
give his district able and conscientious
service.
The Herald editor is somewhat ia
miliar with the average type of men
who make up the personnel OF the
Minnesota Legislature, and it can
safely be said that Mr.. Bohall, Within
a comparatively short time, will stand
very high with the sane-thinking,
hard working men of the lower
House. He is not given much to ora
tory but he keeps his feet always on
the ground, is a man of sound judg-
ment, and sterling integrity, having
the courage of his convictions. When
called before the Sank Centre-Mel-
rose committee, Tuesday afternoon,
Mr.. Bohall stated to them plainly,
that if he was elected to the position
of representative, he would not make
any promises but that he would give
the district, Conscientious service, and
serve them to the best of his ability ;.
When Mr.. Bohall became mem
Der of the City Council, he was draft
ed by the people of this city, and the
three years experience as member
of that body, has demonstrated that
he has splendid ability for iegisia-
tive work.
After leaving the farm, Mr.. Bohall
spent twelve years in St. Paul, while
he was employed in the Railway Mail
Service. He came back to Sank
Centre in 1911 and purchased half
interest in the Hardware business of
G. Hillerud & Co. The next year Mr..
Hillerud took an extended trip to his
old home in Norway and left Mr.. Bo-
hall in entire charge of the business.
He sold his interest back to Mr.. Hill
lerud few years ago and one OF
the finest tributes to the business
ability, integrity and faithfulness by
any Sank Centre man at Tuesday af-
