 The people of Fargo know that in 1910, I said I would have never been president but for my experiences in North Dakota. Now, in full disclosure, the following day in Montana, I said I would have never been president but for my experiences in Montana. Now, I wasn't being a politician. I had free-range cattle. In the spring and fall, roundups were throughout eastern Montana, and the Stockman's meetings in Miles City, my dust-up with the Mingusville bully.
