A UNIQUE CHARACTER.
Washington, oct. 23-The Sage Of
Medicine Lodge" as Jerry Simpson was
called. was I'm many respects one or the
most unique characters which adorned tle
history OF congress. He was swept into
the SD congress by the wave OF Kansas
Populism, charged with the task Of re-
forming the whole government and living
down the only advance information his
congressional colleagues had Of his per
sonality-that he wore no socks. The lat
ter task no succeeded I'm accomplishing
I'm fact, although he never quite lost the
title OF 'Sockless Jerry"
His legislative accomplishment consist
ed I'm turning popular eastern sentiment
regarding Populism and scorning redicule
to respectful consideration during his six
years in the Sod. SD and b6th congresses,
when he swept out by another Kansas
wave. There was not a question OF con-
gressional action during that time Oh
which Jerry Simpson did not think and
on which his conclusions were not strik-
lngly and entirely different from those of
anyone else. His language and manner
OF speech was quaint In the highest de-
gee. Jerry Simpson always tried to
make his adversary look ridiculous. al
ways threw new light on every subject,
made a personal friend of every member
OF the senate and his political opponents
declared never changed a vote on any
question OF legislation. As an entertainer
and a personality the house came TO have
the warmest regard for him.
