Ole O. Sageng, representative of Otter Tail County from 1900-1921. The postcard reads, "For Congress, Senator Ole O. Sageng, 'The Man Behind the Plow.' The Farmers will stand by him, he's a brother in their toil, And they will honor their own calling, the men who till the soil; They've had enough of lawyers, as guardians of their right, And on November third, they will Ole win his fight."
