Talk:Attorney General of Minnesota

Necessary Edit
I note a factual error in the List as presented but as a novice contributor lack the capabilities of inserting a correction. "Harry Peterson" is listed as Attorney General and identified as a member of the DFL. He was Attorney General but served as such elected as the endorsed candidate of the "Farmer-Labor Party" or FLP. As the text later so records the DFL or Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party was not organized until a decade after Harry served as Attorney General. He later did join the DFL but was very proud to have served as a Farmer-Labor Party endorsed Attorney General. Harry was the first Dean of the Law School I attended and he would be turning over in his grave if history should forget his time as a Farmer-Laborite. My source is the Wikipedia entry for Harry H Peterson wherein it is quoted as reading "He was elected Ramsey County Attorney to serve 1923–1924 and subsequently served as the Minnesota Attorney General during the Farmer-Labor administration of Floyd B. Olson, 1933–1936". LAWinans (talk) 03:25, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Correction to William S. Ervin
I removed a reference and note indicating that Ervin was not a lawyer. He was, according to his 1951 obituary. I'll try to find some more details and maybe even do an article for him.
