rhe republican party has again
placed in nomination for the state
Legislature that tried and true re-
publican, that good citizen, that
honest and able man Hon. John A.
Kenn dy. Men, in order to test
their highest and best a abilities,
must have extraordinary oppor-
tunities. That opportunity was
accorded John A. Kennedy during
the session of the Montana legisla-
ture of 1894. 1t was openly
charged and believed that the Mon
tana legislature was cess pool OF
inqulty and corruption. During
all the session of the said legisla-
ture, John A. Kennedy's reputa>
tion remains spotless as the driven
snow. When he was appealed to
by venal and corrupt politicians he
had but one answer for them all,
and that was, that he was re-
publican and a sovereign citizen of
the state of Montana. AS far as
his election is concerned it is con-
ceded by the most sanguine of the
peps, but it is the duty of the re-
publican party of Teton county to
see to it that his endorsen ent is as
near unanimous as possit lie. He
is now aud has been all his life
a poor man. Opportunities have
been many for him to acquire
wealth at the expense of his fellow
man, or by being traitor. II
he receives the vote he has
a right to expect, he will
feel that he has, been amply repaid
for the trojan's work he has done
for the people of Teton county, the
state of Montana, and the repub'
llcan party in the last Legislative
assembly.
