victory belongs to Senator Kittredge.
"For several years ! have been 10 sit.

ton il grcat-asd I declare without Aesi-
tation Or e~quivocatios, that ~ public
servants Senator Kittredge and Repre-
sentatives Burke and Martha, have made
records for eiieieacy and conscientious
devotion to duty that reflect the high
est credit TO themselves, their party and
the state. Few states have had the good
fortune to Be . ably represented in
Washington and the smell Of graft or
anything partaking Of shady transae-
tions Was never ON their garments.
They . always Industrious, always
attentive to business and always sober.
Any South Dakotan having business ct
Warrington always knew whore to and
them and could rely On their keeping
their appointments and performing new
er len and usually more than they
pssmissd. They are supporter Of ths
Roosevelt Administrations without being
ners cuckeosl They have initiated
legislation ~ well ase being boosters
Of every meritorious proposition before
congress in their several terms OF SER
vice. They not only did thiags' but
they did them right. Az President
Roosevelt has % aptly said Of se.ator
K~ittredge. - it might Be said with
equal thuth about Burke and Martin,
These are men W depend ON to do
things and they know how to do them
I don't believe the good people Of this
state are going to listen With patience
much longer to the Trades Of abuse
against faithful public servants simply
to create prejudice in the popular mind
to serve . wholly personal and selfish
end.
Zone Of the most amazing misreprs-
senfations made concerning these thres
mel while they were attending faithful
y TO duty in Warrington Was that they
wore not supporters Of the Roosevelt
administrator. Their records are an
open book and show bow utterly without
Souudation sueh statement vas.
