Sioux Falls Republicans Think Choice o
Kittredge q Mott Excellent One.


Sioux Falls, S. D., July 13.-The APP
pointment Of Alfred B. Kittredge Of
this city to fill the vacancy in the
United States senate caused by the
death of Hon. James H. Kyle created
general rejoicing among republicans,
especially in Sioux Falls, where the
new senator has resided for the past
sixteen years. While there will, Of
course be some disappointment on the
part Of defeated candidates and their
friends, the choice of the governor will
be generally commended by republic
ans throughout the state as the best
that could be made.
Governor Herreid had carefully con-
sidered the claims Of various candi-
dates for the place and in deciding to
appoint Mr.. Kittredge was actuated
solely by desire to do the best thing
for the party and select a man ac-
ceptable to the vast majority Of South
Dakota republicans. He has not
shirked the important task devolving
upon him, but has performed 1t man
fully and well and will receive the
congra tulations of republicans in gen.
eral for the excellence Of his choice.

was wrecked, and then chartered an
