tered pharmacist in 1912. He de-
cided that he wanted further train
ing; he came to St. Paul, where he
worked as a pharmacist while attend
ing school.
Afterward he entered the st. Paul
College of Law and was admitted to
the bar in 1916. For a few months
thereafter he practiced law, but when
war was declared early in 1917, Mar
tin A. Nelson offered his services at
the First Officers Training Corps and
later entered the Air Service. He was
stationed at the Fort Worth aviation
field as an instructor. After the war
he located at Austin in 1919 for the
practice of law. Six months later he
was invited to become law partner
of the late General Arthur w. Wright,
then one of the best known lawyers
in the State. He practiced with Cen
eral Wright for nine years, until the
latter's death, when he took over the
interest of the General in the firm.
He is married and has two children,
a boy and girl. A well-earned repu-
tation is his as one of the outstanding
lawyers of Southern Minnesota. He
is clean, forceful, splendid student
and a man of genuine executive abil-
ity. Martin A. Nelson understands
the needs of the common people and
will do all in his power to promote
their welfare. He is not politician
but can be depended upon to give the
people of this state a fearless and
honest administration of its affairs.

Personally, Marion Davies dis
likes motion pictures that rec with
sex, and once again, with her new
Metro G oldwyn Mayer film, GO
ing Hollywood" now playing at the
Warner Bros. Strand theater, that
clean, wholesome entertainment
still survives and Is just as popular
as ever.
"Going Hollywood" is the enjoy
able story of a movie-struck girl
who falls in love with the voice of
crooner and even pursues him
timidly across the continent to Hol.
lywood to win his love.
But, as with all her pictures. 1t
remains wholesome entertainment
and a screen story that would not
offend the most critical growrl-up
or child.
"The screen belongs to the peo-
ple," said Miss Davies. parents

contribute the finest portrayals OF
their respective careers. AS for

he had obtained information about
the equipment of various electri-

use of his company. He also de-,
MED that he had given money as a

admitted was his own writing, a.
