D., April 5—(@®)— From printer's apprentice to edi- torial writer for bfg city papers, Thomas Moodie of Williston, the choice of North Dakota Democrats 8 @ candidate for governor, in 40 years has run the gamut of news- Paper experience—and has done @ little railroading besides. Moodie’s first newspaper job as Printer’s apprentice was in the old Wadena. Pioneer, of Wadena, Minn, of which C. C. Eastman was editor. Moodie was 16 then. He ts 56 now. That was an unfortunate time for a young man to seek employ- ment as a printer. The linotype wag coming into general use and, with thousands of experienced men out of jobs, it was hard for youth to forge ahead. So Moodie deserted printing for a fling at railroading. He worked as a train- man on the Northern Pacific in the second district of the: Minne- sota division from Staples to Fargo. Then he got tired of it and took a leave of absence. Later, however, he worked for the Great Northern as switchman and brakeman. As a brakeman his career ended suddenly. Moodie recalled Thursday that he was fired about 50 hours after he went on the job. It was at Granite Falls, Minn. The reason: He threw a switch the wrong way, and tied up railroad traffic for hours. Worked On Tribune Coming to North Dakota 36 years ago, Moodie worked as a printer at Bismarck, and there in 1898 became a member of the, Typographical Union. There, too, he did his first reportorial work on the Bismarck Tribune under Jimmie Foley, North Da- kota poet. now a resident of Pasadena, Cal., and then city edi- tor of the Bismarck paper. Moodie became a fast friend of Foley. and so remains. He re- calls hours he spent with Foley “after 30” when Foley's thoughts would turn from newswriting to versifying. Once Moodie was a linotype Operator on the Minot Daily Re- Porter, and for a brief period al- ‘The honer of serving you at @ time when expert and efficient ected tended clans ut ene gee WEBB BROS. Directors: so he was city editor of the Re- porter, while Sam Clark was the editor. He landed the city editor's post here, it is recalled, by telling Clark that during certain hours of the day he would furnish a good, live, local story every five minutes. That was in 1910. Leaving Minot, Moodie joined the reportorial staff of the Du- luth News-Tribune. Before he quit that paper he had become & political writer. Then followed eight years spent on the Minne- apolis News. From Minneapolis Moodie jump- ed to the New Orleans Times Pi- cayune. While there he obtain- ed a confession of murder from a 40 Active Years. notorious character, Eddie Doyle, “The Whip,” after police had worked for two days unsucceas- fully grilling the man. That was in April 1919. Afterwards Doyle was hung. Moodie’s efforts to Prevent him from suffering capi- tal punishment were unavailing. Back To Twin Cities Back to the Twin Cities from New Orleans, Moodie became connected with the St. Paul Daily News. For the News he covered the trial of A. C. Townley on a charge of sedition. Five North Dakota counties have seen Moodie in action as a Newspaperman. In 1926 he purchased the Rich- land County Farmer at Wahpeton which he sold the next year to E. D. Lum. Thereafter . Moodie went to California, and was con- nected for a time with the San Francisco Examiner and the Oakland Times. In 1928, returning to North Da- kota, Moodie bought the Ren- ville County Farmer at Mohall. He edited that weekly for a year and sold it to Ed Sullivan, the Present owner and editor. From Mohall Moodie went to Minneapolis again and for two years was editorial writer for the Minneapolis Tribune. The story has come back to North Dakota that, when Moodie sought a con- nection with the Tribune, he made the statement that he could write an editorial on any subject in five minutes. Three years ago this week Moodie became editor and part owner of the Williston Herald, the post which he now holds. Never until now has Moodie sought an elective office, and un- til 1933, when he was appointed member of the public works ad- visory board, he had never held a public office of any kind, Award Contracts for Road Work Supplies Contracts have been awarded by) the state highway department for several tractors and motor patrols and a year’s supply of maintenance i equipment, it was announced Thurs- “Contracts were awarded to the fol- lowing concerns: Northwest Sheet and Iron Works of Wahpeton, three tractors; Minn- Dak Tractor company, Fargo, one) auto patrol and one tractor; Track | Equipment company, Grand Forks, two auto patrols, and J.
