THE STORY OF A SELF-MADE
MAN.
There is human interest and in
spiration in the life of a self-made
man. The story of Judge Erickson
is no exception. While there is little
of excitement, there is much charm
and some romance in his record of
simplicity, honesty and achievement.
Judge Erickson may be truly char
acterized "a Child of the West."
Through the fabric of his life run
threads not unlike those of the na
tinn’s greatest statesmen. Born in
Wisconsin on a humble farmstead to
sturdy pioneer parents, whose cour
age and fortitude he inherited, young
Erickson's early life duplicated those
which transformed our great West
from an unexplored wilderness into
the land of peace and plenty we
enjoy.
When, in the late sixties, the tide
of emigration turned *oward Kansas,
the Ericksons harkened to the call
and moved to that new frontier state.
There it was that John E Erickson
came into fuy manhood. The family
were tillers of the soil, and of serious
turn of mind. They religiously be
lieved that the unfailing antidote for
the Idle dreams of youth was farm
labor. Thus was young Erickson
reared. There was little time for
dreaming when, from sun-up to dark,
he tolled between the furriws.
Kansas being a really frontier state
there was little opportunity for edu
cation, yet Erickson each year attend
ed the three months' term of the dis
trict school. During the rest of the
year he devoed such time as he could
to self-education. At 21 he entered
Washburn college and devoted him
self to carving a career of his own
choosing. Finishing college In 1890
he performed all manner of tasks to
feed and clothe himself and studied
nights to equip himself for law. That
self-denials must bo practiced and
obstacles overcome were of little mo
ment to him. Those handicaps were
a matter of course. All his isle he
had been up aglnst rough going and
had been taught that anything werth
while could be acquired only through
self-sacrifice and hard work. The
world had not yet been bitten by
greed and selfishness, and the exact
ing lessons of youth had left three im
pressions. Today, complete unselfish
ness and a willingness to make sacrl
fi- • others, two traits of charac
ter r j found In public life, are
dominant traits In Judge Erickson's
character. As a judge, the man's out
standing humanity Is known far and
wide. With him, it Is habitually a
case of "Justice tempered with
mercy.''
Upon being admitted tn the bar
in his home state in 1892, Judge
Erickson, true to Inherited Instincts,
cast his eyes to the new frontier and
during that year took up his resi
dence at Choteau, Teton county, Mon
tana. Four years later the democrats
of Teton county, hopeleTMr in the
minority, put this young attorney up
for slaughter. Briefly—when the
votes were counted, It was found that
this young democrat had been elected
county attorney, an unprecedented oc
curance.
Again In 1898 and in 1902, Attor
ney Erickson was called upon by the
democrats and returned a victor.
Having proved his metal during three
terms as county attorney, the demo
crats of the rock-ribbed republican
Eleventh judicial district placed him
in nomination for the judgeship. Suc
cess again crowned his banner, in
spite of the overwhelming republican
complexion of the district. He was
re-elected at two subsequent elections.
Something of the man's personal pop
ularity and the estem in which he
was held by his j constituency is
shown in the fact tnat even in the
Roosevelt landslide of 1908, as the
democratic candidate in a republican
stronghold, he was returned a winder.

This is a time when rigid ecomony must be
practiced and enforced by men who are properly
trained and qualified to handle the important af

My record shows a business administration as

to fight inefficiency, waste and unnecessary
spending of the State’s resources.

the Eighteenth Amendment. All
Laws passed by our State Legislature

That mere technicalities of Law

justice and sound discretion in ren
dering Judgment.
That all Mortgage Foreclosures
should be carefully considered and
scrutinized by the Court before pass
ed upon for final Judgment and De
cree of Foreclosure.
That all Court expenses should be
reduced to a minimum, bearing in
mind that all litigants In Court are
entitled to a fair and impartial hear
ing and trial.

from politics, insofar as possible to
do so.
