ernor Herreid appointed me to be a
senator of the United States for the
state Of South Dakota. In January,
1903, the republicans Of South Dako-
ia. through their representatives in
the legislature, elected me to the SEN
ate for the u~nexpired term to which
appointment had been made. and at
the same time gave me a six year
term to that position, which began
the 4th of March, 1903, and which
terminates the 4th of March, 1909.
On the first day of December. 1901,
l assumed the oath OF Office as a SEN
ator of the United States from this
state, and during the six years and a
little more that have passed, my re-
cord has been made.
