As a result of his rec ord in the state senate ho was nomi nated for attorney-general In 189G by the Republican state convention. That was the banner Democratic year in Missouri politics, and of course he was not elected. Without solicitation on his part the Republicans of the Fourth Congressional district nominated him for congress ln 1900. In 1900 he was induced ti accept the Republican nom ination for Supreme Judge, and though his campaign was brief and necessarily confined to limited territory the plu rality of his successful Democratic op ponent.

His residence was in lion county, wnere ne enjoyed a position at the head of the bar, and was respected and loved by all the people, without regard to political nf ff-Ration. While honored with nubile office time nnd again, it can be truthfully said that Judge Kennlsh was never a pelf-seeker. His official positions came tn him unsought, while a num ber of them were accepted at great financial sacrifice and only through a sense of public duty. He was. known to be intrinsically honest,, 4ho plain, everyday people of the state having Implicit confidence In his personal In tegrity' and ability. Governor Hadley first called him into tho service of tho state by placing him upon the supreme bench, to which position be was also possible, but there was not such word in Pershing's dictionary. . In this grjatett of great battles, American proved that they are the greatest fighting stock in the world. The Soldier' Slumber.
