SENATOR IuTTRDGE IN ROBERTS COUNTY

and popularity Of this man, who
today stands silhouetted against
the political horizon not only of
this state, but of the nation as
one of the greatest men in public
life. The are few men who
rank so high; few who in the
short years he has been in public
life can show such a record of
achievement. His public life
has ben filled with deeds, and
he has won a fame that is void
of doubtful po nts, demanding
neither defense or expl ,nation.
To many he has appeared to
ee silent reserved man Of
serious manner. He has been
c died the sphinx but as a matter
Of fact he is not of a cold nature;
those who know him personally
testify that be has a great large
heart and transparent honesty
of pul pose tha. makes him trust
ed by the people he comes in
contact with; besides which, he
has a memory that he trea S
with confidence and that never
disappoints him; having met a
man once he knows him for all
time; and many are the con-
stituents who gladly testify to
the great interest he has mani
, tested in their behalf and the
promptness with which requests
have been met by him. He has
a keen sense Of justice, but one
chief characteristic is his perfect
veracity of mind; he neve r
deceives himself nor his friends;
he always looks things squarly
IN the lace and deals With them
as such, dreaming no dreams,
cherishing no delusions, asking
no impossibilities, just to others
as to himself and thus wins the
confidence and approval of the
people,,
Thus it was, that having been
known for so many years as the
| silent man, when Kittredge en-
tered this campaign and stepped
upon the rostrum as a speake r,
the people were first dumfound-
ed, then electrified and then
wildly enthusiastic by his man

Senator Kittridge made a series

Senator Kittridge made series
of eight speeches in r berts
county this week, beginning at
at 'Peever and the Agency Mon
day afternoon, (the latter an
Indian meeting) and at Sisseton
Monday evening. From Sisse-
ton the Senator went by automo-
bile into Minnesota township and
Ellington, making speeches at
each place. On Tuesday evening
he delivered a speech at Winans,
spent Tuesday night at Diamond
and Wednesday went down the
lake by boat to Browns Valley and
drove by team from there to
Wilmot, where he spoke Wednes-
day afternoon, and at Summit in
tie evening Thus in three days
he made a record of eight
speeches covering nearly the
entire county.
At Pc yer, sisseton Agency
and Sisseton. the Cadet band of
Milbank was in attendance. and
at Sisseton they gave several
open-air renditions which were
highly enjoyed by several hum
dred of the citizens.
The senator was greeted with
great demonstrations and tre-
mendous enthusiasm at every
meeting which is the highest
sort of compliment to the ability

ner Of presenting the facts.
With his we'll known charac-
teristic there has NOT been in
one of his speeches a single
supesfluous word, he hasn't
wasted a shot, every one of them
hits the mark, there has been
nothing personal, nothing bonn
bastic or abusive and while he
tells about the public duties
which he has had in hand as
their servant, he does not seem
to talk of himself. He is a close
reasoner and while his mode OF
speaking is of plain and ur-
inpass!oned character yet his
.learness of statement is in it
self an argument. His record
in congress is an open book and
he verified every statement he
made by reference to the con-
gressional and senate records.
The plain straightforward man.
ner in which Senator Kittridge
spoke impressed his hearers with
the truth of his statements, and
after each meeting it was plain
to see by the expressions of
many of his audiences that his
talk had borne fruit, and there
are to-day many more Kittridge
men in Roberts county than there
were before the senator's visit.
His speeches were not mere
platitudes and assertions, but
facts maintained by absolute
proofs from the records which no
no man can gainsay, and any
man may prove.

ACCOMPLISHED.
He has acquired the reputa-
ton among those who know
him best, as being one
of the most energetic and
indefatigable workers ir
the capital of the United
States to-day. No man in the
United States senate stand:
closer to the administration; nc
man has been oftener
honored by important committed
appointments than Sen ltor Kit
fridge.

Want Tax Levy Limit Lifted.

Marshall County Journal:
The appropriations made by the
insurgent legislature of 1907
were the largest in the history
of the state. In fact they were
as large as the constitutional
limit would allow. They now
wish to amend the constitution
Of the state removing the limit
on appropriations. The passage
of such an amendment would be
one of the worst things that
could be done by the people Of
the state, as it would allow un-
scrupulous legislatures to burden
the state with a debt which the
people would never be able to
unload. The provision incor-
porated in the constitution pro-
viding that no levy should ex-
ceed four mills was a wise one
and it should not be removed.
This is an insurgent move and
like a great many other moves
of theirs is prompted by a
esire to get a hold of more Of
the states money to bolster .

Importance of all the senate

recognized legal attainments

committee, to which are referred
more bills than to any other

Senator Kittredge comes in

He is also charm n of the in

every provision with respect to

five years have been drafted by
Senator Kittredge, and it is con-

Senator Morgan of Alabama,

the canal as the senator from
South Dakota. 1t is the most
stupendous undertaking in the
history of humanity.
While the lock type of canal
has been accepted, and Senator
Kittridge is giving the PROPOSE
ton the same careful and con-
scien ious attention he would
have accorded it had the sea- level
type been selected, it is now
generally recognized that Sena-
tor Kittredge's position concern
ins the type of canal was right
and that the government made
mistake in failing to follow the
advise of a maj ority Of the board
of engineers which passed upon
this question at the solicitation
of President Roosevelt. All of
these things tend to prove that
it is not necessary for a man to
have the inordinate gift of CAB
to accomplish things at Wash

The records show that
Senator Kittridge supported:
The act for exploiting anti-tr ust
suits; The meat inspection law;
Denatured alcohol law; Rail-

felloW-servant law; The "re
