WES WRIGHT, President. of the leading Baptist churches of Minneapolis, and as a lecturer is becoming well known as a most pleasant speaker. Dr. Bradt, who spoke last even- ing and who. will speak again to- night, is field secretary of the Pres- byterian Board of Foreign Missions. As a pastor of the church in Wichita, Kansas, he so interested his people in the world-wide work, that when the board want to arouse a practi- cal interest in the churches he was chosen. The great missionery conference at Omaha, Neb., over a year ago, was due to Dr. Bradt’s initiative and its success came about largely through his efforts.

Arne Solberz, the popular deputy sheriff, under Sheriff Bailey, has filed as candidate for the republican nomination for sheriff before the primaries to be held September 15.

He is an officer who will perform his duty regardless of consequences and is a hard-working conscientious officer.
