He was in private practice in Minot, North Dakota from 1924 to 1925, and in Fargo, North Dakota from 1925 to 1941. He was a Referee in Bankruptcy for the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota in 1924, and was an unsuccessful Democratic candidate for United States Senate from North Dakota in 1940.[1]
