of Prof. H. H. Aaker as mayor at
Moorhead some nine years ago inject
ed into that badly governed city anew
era. Houses of prostitution were Im
mediately closed, saloons remained
closed according to law, and the city
was saved thousands of dollars and
was placed on a debt paying basis. If

ably be felt among that element in this

he is now a candidate.
