In reply desire to say that SO lar
as i know he has supported all the
proMinen measures recommended by
the administration. He was parttcu-
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

i may say that on all great public

side Of what I term reform and on
the side Of tho people. He sits quite
near me in the se.ate chamber and
usually confers with me about public
questions when they come up for con-
sideration, and | hardly know OF an
instance where he has not assumed
the same attitude and taken the same
course on public matters that | have.
In fact. I have always felt that / could
rely upon him for help to secure the
passage OF any measure that deem-
ed for the best welfare of the people.
Senator Kittredge is one OF the most
energetic and industrious members OF

ant legal and constitutional questions,
and / have always found his judgment
clear and sound and have found him
ever ready to take a broad and lib

In fact. none Of the younger senators

senator kittredge does not pretend
to be q great orator. yet in all the
hard work that goes to formulate

shape for final action, he is active,
efficient and energetic as any mem
and growing state is very fortunate,
indeed, in having such an able repre-
sentative in the senate as Senator
