Guaranteed Weekly Circulation in excess of 60,000 Copies Another Farmer for State Office Statement by Bernt Anderson “I fully realize the importance and responsibility of the position to which I have been appointed, but with such experience as I have had in public life, and with the assistance of the governor and others, I hope to be of some service to the state. “The twine plant connected with the state penitentiary, which has succeeded so well, and which has accomplished to some extent what it was intended to do, namely to create employment for the convicts, and to create competition in the twine market, so as to enable the farmers to buy cheaper binding twine, I believe should be extended and improved with the same object in view. “The capitol street car line needs a good deal of study and attention in order to make its operation a success, although it is very difficult to build a good structure on a defective foundation. “As a member of the board of control it shall always be my aim to run those institutions that come under the board's supervision in such a manner that the inmates will receive just and humane treatment and be the least possible burden to the taxpayers.” Bernt Anderson Bernt Anderson of Churches Ferry, N. D., whom Governor Frazier appoint- ed to the board of control to succeed i R. S.-Lewis of Fargo, in July, brings to his position the acquaintance of four years’ association with state af- fairs, and the information of a citizen who has grown up with North Dakota. In Ramsey county, where he has been a well known citizen for 30 years, Mr. Anderson has filled several local | positions and in 1906 he was elected to the state legislature. He served through the .session of 1907 and was re-elected at each succeeding election for three terms those of 1909, 1911 and 1913. During the first three terms he serv- ed in the legislature Mr. Anderson was on the judiciary committee, one of the rrincipal committees of the hody, and one to which is referred much of-the most important legislation originiating in either house. During his last term he was chairman of the appropriations committee and as such was brought | into close touch with all the institu- tions and acquainted himself with their needs, and, to a large extent, with their conduct. In his statement, Mr. Anderson shows his interest in further developing the/ state-owned twine plant to increase its efficiency and in working out a proper solution of the street railway system. At the last session’ of the legislature opponents of the Nonpartisan League, following the tip of the present board of control, worked out a plan to dispose of the state-owned street car line, but the state public utilities committee’ of the house, dominated by a League ma- jority, reported the bill for indefinite postponement and the house adopted the report. Mr. Anderson was born in Norway in 1861. He attended the public schools there, and in 1880 came with a brother to New York. From New York the two brothers shipped west, and Bernt went to work on a farm in Ottertail county, Minnesota, where he attended school during the winter for three years. He first saw North Dakota in the spring of 1883, when, driving an ox team hitched to a “prairie schooner,” he came down to the Red River on the Moorhead side, and whistled for the little ferryboat that was doing a prof- itable business carrying settlers over into Dakota territory to the new wheat fields that were just beginning to be developed. Anderson, and his com- panion, Hans Welo, who also had his own ox team and covered wagon, crossed the river at Fargo, and drove northwestward across the prairies to the vicinity of Ramsey county. The country had not yet been sur- veyed Dby the government, but Mr. Anderson “squatted” on a tract of land, and has remained a farmer of that county ever since, taking part in its agricultural development, and in the public affairs of his home township, county, and state. Two years ago he was chosen a member of the Republi- can state central committee and he was re-elected to that position last Novem- ber. QJ Liberty Grove precinct in Rich- land -county, North Dakota, is the banner League precinct of a coun-, ty in which there are many loyal friends and also a great many de- termined enemies of the farmers’ cause. In Richland county the real friends of the farmers have had to work against the shrewd opposi- tion of such men as Divet, the “shepherd of the flock,” a coterie ] of lawyers and bankers and a few small business men who can’t see beyond the ends of their noses. In Liberty Grove precinct the light has spread, largely due to | the efforts of the Novotny broth- '; ers, John G. and Joseph R., two | intelligent and wide-awake youhg farmers. These young men have | been earnest workers in every en- terprise designed .to better farm i marketing conditions. With the assistance of the [> l TWO LEAGUE BOOSTERS Novotny brothers, Organizer J. A. Uttley a few days ago had signed up thirty farmers as members of the League for the new organiza- influence of ! spreading to ] tion period and the this township' was adjoining townships. o SIXTEEN ADVERTISEMENTS JHIP US .
