A G. Granger Of Kadoka, who serv-
ed Stanley county in the lower house
OF the last Legislature and is now seek

near Gaines, Michigan in 1850. He
spent The first twenty years of his life
on the farm, encountering the eX-
perience Of the average farmer boy.
which meant the TASKS of the plow

four miles through snow TO school in
winter. At the age of twenty Mr..
Granger began teaching school him

entered the Ferris Institute presided

of his profession in Jackson, Michi-
gan and spent two years in that city.
Those were bitter years, in the day
time he chased small collections, al
| night he lay down to troubled dreams
upon his Office desk. Finally, like
many other struggling people, he
came west. For a time he was EN-
ploycd as carpenter in Fort Pierre,
but soon opened up law office in
Kadoka, The day after he arrived in
| that town the hot winds came up from
Nebraska and gathered in the annual
crop of sod corn. This set him re-
flecting on means for the new coun-

yiding for the repeal of the law which
requires insurance companies to pub

for third reading and final passage.
Representative Leedom and Granger
of Stanley county lead the fight for
the newspapers and simply wiped
the earth with those in favor of the
passage of the bill. With right and
justice uDon their side the gentlemen
plead for honesty and simple justice

guments were SO conclusive that the
vote was overwhelming against the

ported were TO have pulled down

successful in the repeal OF the law

attracted considerable attention by
his persistant efforts in behalf of the
appropriation for the propagation and
distribution of the Hardy Siberian

and those who stood with them III
their fight against the repeal OF the
present law in regard TO the publica-

Bill No. 2S2 Was direct slap at the

tailed il the bill had become law is
Insignificant compared with the prin-
