SENATOR NELSON'S ENDoRse.
MENT.

Washington, D. c., April 2, 1908.
Hon. John Reierson, President Scan.
dinovian Republican League, Dayi.
sen County, Mitchell, S. D.
Dear Sir:-Your favor Of March
28th, asking my views as to the stand.
ing, services, and qualifications Of
Senator Kittredge as a senator and as
to whether he has worked in harmony
with the president, Is at hand.
In reply I desire to say that so far
as | know he has supported all the
prominent measures recommended by
the administration. He was partieu.
larly active in helping to secure pas.
sage of the railway rate bill, and on
that subject was entirely in harmony
with the president, and so far as /
know he has the full confidence of
both the president and Secretary Taft.
| may say thata on all great public
questions he has always been on the
side of what l term reform and on
the side of the people. He sits quite
near me in the senate chamber and
usually confers with me about public
questions when they come up for con.
sideration, and l hardly know of an in.
stance where he has not assumed the
same attitude and taken the same
course on public matters that | have.
In fact, | have always felt that |
cOulQ rely upon MIN LOT nelp TO secure
the passage of any measure that |
deemed for the best welfare of the
people. Senator Kittredge is one of
the most energetic and industrious
members Of the senate. I have serv-
ed with him for several years on the
judiciary committee, which deals with
important legal and constitutional
questions, and / have always found
hfs judgment clear and sound and
have found him ever ready to take a
broad and liberal view of all questions
that appertain to the rights of the
people. His standing in the senate
is excellent; in fact, none of the
younger senators are held in better
repute or have more friends in this
body. While Senator kittredge does
not pretend to be a great orator, yet
in all the hard work that goes to for.
mulate and prepare legislation and
get In shape for final action. he is
as active, efficient, and energetic as
any member of this body. | think
your young state is very fortunate,
indeed, in having such an able repre.
sentative in the senate as Senator
Kittredge. Yours truly.

SENATOR TELLER'S ENDORSE.
MENT,

United States Senate, Washington
L. c.. April %, 1908.
MI. F. j. Cory, Sioux Falls, S. D..
Dear Sir:-I have felt considerable
papers that Senator Kittredge is
meeting with serious opposition tc
his reelection.
| hope these reports are. without
foundation, and that if there is
basis for them, the senator will be
able to overcome all obstacles and
that he will be triumphantly return
ed
My interest in the subject is based
upon direct observation of Mr.. Kit
tredge's career as a senator and up
on my desire that the western states
should keep their strong men in
Washington. A western man myself
take especial pride in seeing the
states of the west properly repro
sentea here, where all these states
nave common interests in the promo
ton of which they often meet with
much antagonism. have always
found Senator kittredge not only
loyal to every western interest. but
on account of his intelligent compre
hension and standing as a senator,
capable OF promoting those interests
to'a degree quite beyond less loyal
or less influential man.
That he has done faithful and efii
cient work for his state, and, i'll
broader sense, for the nation, l also
know to be true.
In a word, | have found in Senator
Kittredge a faithful and effective
representative of all interests which
it has been his duty to conserve
whether state. sectional or national
Very few men have attained TO

councils of the senate in so snort
\ time. and | can hardly believe that
SO young a state as South Dakota,
which must necessarily ask much
from congress, would voluntarily put
him aside for a less experienced man
who might not, as few do, possess
the qualities which would give him
influence and who, at any rate. must
require some time to attain to the
rcint OF vantage already occupied by
Mr.. Kittredge.
| have always found him loyal to
his convictions. firm in the advocacy
of what he believed to be right, new
err easily swerved by passing aglta
tion and ever intelligent and patriot
ic in his treatment of public ques'
tions, and such | believe to be the

TWO WHO DIDN'T ESCAPE.

The Deadwood Pioneer-Times re-
lates the details of case which the
federal government had against Mr..
AiansOn Giles, a prominent man at
Belle Fourche, in the Black Hills re-
gion.
Mr.. Giles was accused of doing pre-
c1sely what Mr. Crawford did in Wal
worth county, except that his offense
was not as great as that charged
against Mr.. Crawford. He merely
fenced in part of the public domain
and used 1t for his private purposes.
1t was not even intimated that he ever
sought to become the owner, in fee
simple, or otherwise. of lands adjacent
to his stock range through the use
OF personal friends-he merely en-,
closed part OF the government lands
within a fence and turned his stock
loose to Craze thereon.
a government inspector came along
and reported Mr. Giles act. Notwith-
standing, according to reports, Mr.
tiles promised to remove the fence
promptly, he was prosecuted AMI
was recently convicted in federal
court.
In passing sentence, the court took
into consideration the advanced age
his III health and age the defendant
would not be imprisoned, but that
ne must pay q heavy fine.
MT. Crawford fenced part of the
public domain In WalwOrth county.
The enclosure was about three and
half miles long by one mile wide. and
included the lands filed on by Mr..
Crawf0rd's boy friends Blount, Val
entine, Thompson and Lampe It also
Included the Crawford ranch and the
state lands held under lease. 1t like
wise Included portions OF the public
domain, just as Mr.. Giles fence en-
closed part Of such lands Mr.. Craw-
ford closed up section lines, Just as
Mr. Giles closed them up.
But Crawford went scot free

as the attorney general Of the United
States stated In an offlcial report, the

maximum rate OF treatment as S00g0 gallons
