FRANK A. HAZELBAKER
It was 36 years ago that Prank A. Hazelbaker, now lieu
tenant-governor of Montana and republican nominee for
governor, left Kansas in answer to the call of the West. He
located at Dillon, and Beaverhead county has proudly
claimed him as a citizen ever since.
One of the earliest students to enroll in the Montana State
Normal College, he afterwards taught school for a time, later
engaging in mercantile pursuits in the Big Hole basin. He
then became interested in the real estate and insurance busi
ness, building up what is now one of the outstanding firms
of its kind in Montana. He operates an extensive stock
ranch in the Big Hole basin, on which was grown two years
ago the hay that won the world's championship at the inter
national show in Chicago.
His entry into politics was made in 1904, when he was
elected clerk of the district court of Beaverhead county. In
the same year he was made secretary of the republican state
convention and served in that capacity every convention un
til the advent of the primary election. For three terms he
was secretary of the state central committee of his party,
and for one term, its chairman. In 1920 he was elected state
senator from Beaverhead county and four years later was
re-elected without opposition. He was one of the recognized
leaders in the upper house of the legislature. Four years
ago he was elected by a huge popular vote to the office of
lieutenant-governor.
His splendid work as presiding officer of the senate won
him the respect and sincere admiration of all mmebers,
republicans and democrats alike.
In 1915 Mr. Hazelbaker promoted and took charge of the
Montana exhibits at the Panama-Pacific International Ex
position in San Francisco, and during the past several years
has actively assisted in Montana's agricultural representa
tion at the International Hay and Grain show in Chicago,
where this state has attracted world-wide attenton by its re
markable prize winnings. As secretary of the Beaverhead
Madison Stockgrowers association, he has taken a leading
part in the development of that industry in southwestern
Montana.
Mrs. Hazelbaker was, before her marriage, Lois Brown
Brantly, daughter of the late Chief Justice and Mrs. Theo
dore Brantly. They have three children, Frank, Jr., Lois
and Theodore Brantly Hazelbaker.
Probably no one in Montana enjoys a wider personal ac
quaintance throughout the state than Leutenant-Governor
Hazelbaker, and certainly no one is more familiar with every
section of Montana and its particular problems.
