of the Press: note with good dea,
of satisfaction the nomination of C. B.
Kennedy of Canton, as candidate fol
Judge of supreme court I wish to
address few words to the populists of
the state regarding his candidacy As
to his ability and integrity there is no
question. All who know him recog-
nize his peculiar fitness for the position.
This of course, to all true populists is a
consideration OF first importance
Aside from this he has claim on the
loyalty of every old populist in The
state. He has been with us from the
start, We have had no more earnest
advocate, no wiser counsellor, or more
loyal supporter than he. He stayed
with us to the last ditch as all know
who were at the Aberdeen convention
one year ago We owe it to ourselves
as we'll as to him that he gets every
populist vote this fall. The populists
have been charged with ingratitude to
its pioneer leaders, those who have
worked the hardest and sacrificed the
most forits cause. Let Us see that
every threshing machine and gang
plow is stopped long enough for the
men to vote.
In regard to the other candidates I
will say that Julian Bennett has been
a democrat, that he was elected circuit
judge of this district by the fusionists,
and that all parties unite in saying
he makes splendid judge. The other
candidate do not know IL is said he
is populist, and he is from the Black
Hills. What more could we ask? Fra

ONLY AN INCIDENT.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 13, 1899. To
the Editor of the Press; I see by the
dispatches from South Dakota that c..
B. Kennedy of Canton, has been nomi.
mated by the reform forces, and is
making the race for one Of the posi-
tions on the supreme bench of your
state.
have eeen great deal of G. b.
during his life time, and I wish I
might be permitted to meet every vot-
er in the state personally and tell him
what I know about that man. But that
being impossible, must content my
self with writing to the Press an Incl
dent of his life in Iowa, which came
under my personal observation and
which shows the character of the man.
Many years ago. when G. B. Kennedy
was student at the State University
of Iowa. one hot day in the month of
June, was decending a long, steep
hill. An aged Scandinavian woman
was struggling up the hill with a
wheel barrow laden with some kind of
grain, which the poor of the city were
in the habit of getting from brewery
near by for their chickens. Proceeding
in the same direction with the aged
woman, on the same sidewalk, was a
long procession of university students.
One by one, they all passed the de-
erepit, tottering old woman without Of
fering her helping hand or appearing
to notice her in any way, except the
last man, who was G. b. Kennedy. He
at once took hold and wheeled her load
to the top of the long hill.
That is only an incident-one among
many. Thousand kind acts which G: B.
himself has no doubt forgolten long
years ago, bus the writer could never
forget it.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox says there are
just two; kinds Of people in this world,
and no more, chose who lift and those
who lean" am sure that every one
who knows G. B. Kennedy will classify
him as one of the lifters, one who is al
ways trying to help others. fancy the
people Of South Dakota have come to
know him 40 well by this time that
they will rally around him with great
enthusiasm and carry him triumphant
lySthrough the election.
If,I had = vote in South Dakota,
would travel q thousand wi1es to cast
that vote for C. B. Kennedy.
