Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 28-—-+~4)—
Gov. A. G. Sorlie, of North Dakota,
died here this morning.

Death was caused by heart disease
from which the Governor has been
critically ill for the past three days.

Arthur Gustave Sorlie was born
April 26. 1874, near Alberta Lea,
Minn. His parents were Iver and
Mary Sorlie, natives of Norway.
When he was 19 years old he came
to North Dakota where he worked
in a bank. operated a general! store
and later became a traveling sales-
man.

In 1907 he entered the fuel, seed
and feed business at Grand Forks.
The enterprise was successful and
the basis for a considerable fortune
which he later accumulated in other
business endeavors.

Despite his extensive interests, the
non-partisan league selected him as
its standard bearer in 1924 and he
won the gubernatorial election after
a hot fight, he was reelected in 1926
but did not seek renomination this
year, saying that he desired to re-
tire to private life at the end of his
term.

The first important act of office
came to Gov. Sorlie when in his first
term he appointed Gerald P. Nye, to
the United States Senate to succeed
Senator E. F. Ladd who died in of-
fice.

Gov. Sorlie’s death brings to the
executive's chair Walter Maddock,
the Lieutenant Governor, who is a
real dirt farmer. He was educated

college. Later he studied law and
civil engineering by correspondence.
