Montana Gets Colorful Swede For Governor Immigrant Swbde A Is New Governor Os Western State HELENA. Mpnt. (UP)—Some 38 years ago an itate brakeman booted a young Swedish immigrant off a freight train at the little town of Columbus, Mont. The brakid went on about his work. Young J. Hugo jAronson took a lobk y at hist new surroundings, found, a job digging potatoes, and decided he liked Montana. Recently Montana showed it liked Aronson. _ ji Voters nailed .the now 60-year-old “Galloping swede” governor of Montana in the Nov,, 4 elections, one of the most intensive campaigns in state history. Aronson''beat John W. Bonner, Democrat, for the job. Fact and Fieldon Fact and perhaps some fiction make up the Aronson story. Sometimes It’s not easy to say which is which. For the talk energetic Aronsdn has become almost a legendary figure in Montana. M. The “Galloping Swede,” whoke nickname may have come from his oil field days, has lioinesteaded, farmed, drilled for ol I, run trucking lines and served in the state legislature. Stories about him are legion. There’s the one abput the time he was working in tt|e oil fields, carrying timbers. The;boss spotted him as he ran with a 20-foot 3 X 12 on his] shoulder. f ! “Take fivefi Aronson,” the boss said, apparently afraid the young husky would kill himself. ' “Take five, hell!” Aronson replied. “I can hardly carry one!” Always Successful Aronson isn’t averse to helping the legend along. He early found out -that while prospective business clients might not know who “J. Hugo Aronson” was, they had all beard of the- “Galloping SwedA” The name , his become a sort of trademark. Os his drrival in Montana, he likes to say: “Columbus may have discovered America, but I discovered Columbus.” . Arorison has worked at enough occupations tip keep tout average men biitsy, and he has been successful in all of them. His oil |ield days are behind him now, but he keeps his hand in with a 4,000acre wheat farm, and by working as a bank president. Last year, when rains halted most harvesting operations in Glacier codnty, Aronson brought in ond of the first (grain dryers seen thereabouts, and {saved most of his crop. 1, ” | After a term as aldbrman in his home town of Cut Bank, Aronson went to the state legislature for 14 years. This year he ran for the governor's job on the Republican ticket, winning thb post in his first crack at the top state' office. Montana politicians, regardless of party, can be sure Os one thing. The state Will-have, an interesting four years, with the big Swede in the governor's chairi j I
