Dear Sir: I note the Introductory
article in your issue of January 1st,
1897 entitled "Judge Ptowman for
Senator in which you state that
you believe the Union is stating a
fact when it says that the Black
Hills representatives at the Legis-
lature stand united for the c~leanest
and ablest man that could possibly
be chosen for United States Senator
viz Judge A. J. Plowman.
If you had employed the phrase
siu' the Legislature I should have
protested, tor l have personal
knowledge Of more than one Black
Hills Representative who will only
support the Judge as q last possible

Pierre. 1t is not my intent however
Mr.. Editor, to indulge in a TRADE of
abuse against the Honorable Judge
for so far as my acquaintance goes
| consider him a gentleman demand
ing the respect of his fellow citizens.
But as to his superior fitness to re-
present the state of South Dakota
in the United States Senate I have
many grave doubts especially at
this the most critical period in the
history of our republic. Let us for
a moment consider what constitutes
a fitness for the position Of a United
States Senator from a populist
standpoint. Don't understand that
| wish to ignore or fail to recognize
any reformer who united with US in
the past cam paign as all will be duly
recognized in time just as all true
popuLists are now recognizing and
welcoming that Hon. R. F. Pettigrew
into the ranks as a true reformer.
Now d to the qualifications required
we should demand that the candidate
be a gradute from the school of poll
tical economy, not a novice who only
becomes imbued with the spirit of
reform, at a time when the oppor-
tunity seemed to offer to him a re-
ward that through years of incessant
labor and sacrifice has been Justly
earned by some one else.
We should demand a candidate
who is not only pledged to a cur
rency reform but who is qualified
| to assist in the enactment of other
reforms that demand equal attention
with the money question in order
that the industrial classes of our
commonwealth may be- emancipated.
Now if we can find a candidate
who, coupled with the above qualif-
cations can produce a record Of eight
years of patient, in%cessant' unselfsh
unremitted, and unremunerated toll
in the of reform, then let ms
reward him. l want to sugges tc
the Representatives in Pierre that
in the person of the Hon. H. L.
Loucks Of Clear Lake S. D. they will
find all of the foregoing qualifica-
tions. No other dare claim that he
has done to bring about the
present victory in state politics
than he. Through the Dakota Ru-
ralist rnd other publications he has
carried on a campaign of education
for years past. If late converts car
claim a reward for their efforts in
educating the last ten thousand
votes necessary to carry the state
for reform. H. l.. LOucks can quad
ripple their claim for his efforts II
educating the original thirty thous
and populist voters. We have re
warded two honorable pioneers, vi:
Knowles and Kelley; now let us bt
grateful enough to render honor to
whom honor is due by electing tb,
Hon. H. l.. Loucks to the Office O
U. S. Senator, A, J. Mccain.
