Four hundred Georgians attended
the banquet in Macon Friday night
in the interest of the movement to
remove the capital to the central
section of the state, where it will
be in convenient reach OF all the
people. Every section of Georgia
was represented by prominent men,
and there is no doubt that the cam
paign for removal is on in earnest;
and judging from the expressions
that were heard there is just as lit
tie doubt as to what the result will
be when the question is voted on.

What town is the largest in South

Sioux Falls, was the reply.

On July IL, 1901, Mr.. Kittredge was

four or FIVE of the delegates to the
county convention. The struggle will
be memorable in the political history of
the state and county. So bitter was
the feeling between the factions that
families were divided and lifelong
friends became foes.
Mr.. Kittredge, however, controlled
the Huron convention, which, more as
mark of respect to the Office he held
than from personal reasons, elected
Pettigrew one of the delegates to the
ST. Louis convention. Kittredge had
true bulldog tenacity, and, notwith-
standing that he must have realized
that the fight in this county was a
hopeless one from the start, under his
leadership every inch of ground, was
stoutly contested.
When defeat met him he gave no
outward sign of the chagrin he must
have felt, but laid plans for the
renewal of the fight in the county at
the first opportunity. He felt satisfied
that Pettigrew would ''bolt" the ST.
Louis convention, and had arrange
ments made so that when Pettigrew
and his brother "bolters" walked out
of the convention Pettigrew's alternate
was on the ground and took the SEN
ator's place within few minutes after

county, and largely to his efforts and

Mr.. Kittredge, because of his
extreme reticence, was often referred
to as the "Silent Man. >" No man in
the United States was harder for a
newspaper man to interview than he.
Newspaper men were always cordially

they obtained did not serve to enlighten
them or give them the material for an
article. Eyes, +" NO." and 81 don't

when desiring to elude the interviewer.

to romp with the children if there were
any, and to cuddle the baby in his
arms. A confirmed bachelor who
probably never in his whole life had an
affair of the heart, he had most
chivalric regard for good women, and
was "Uncle Kit" to multitudes of
youngste rs. So, however profound
may be the regret of business or Of
politics that their affairs shall know
him no more forever, there will be
keener sorrow among those who never
knew either business or politics.

were visited by multiplied thousands
from every portion of the common
wealth, and by legions of men eminent

tory or state. While, of course, these
apartments became sort of political
headquarters, this was not the prime
spirit that maintained them. They were
rather the manifestation of that
generous hospitality characteristic of
the man, and of desire for place

he gave to it that caused his friends
their first concern. 1t is said of Sem
ator Kittredge that he came in closer
and more personal contact and was
more universally loved than any public
man in South Dakota. Mothers
revered him for the interest he took
in their sons, and he has been known
to go out of his way MANY time, call
a young man aside who had been
drinking and bring him to the realiza-
ton of what he was doing and where
he would ultimately end. Many and
