Kyle introduced a plan on August 23, 1893, that would recognize the first Monday in September as “Labor’s Holiday.”

I am writing a series on the fabled âCurse of Karl,â or the legend that no South Dakota senator can serve four full terms. Only Sen. Karl Mundt was elected four times, and a devastating stroke left him incapable of serving the second half of his final term. So how does Sen. Francis Case belong in this series? Case didnât seek a fourth term. In fact, he died in 1962 before his second term was up, as he prepared to run for a third one. Like six other South Dakota senators, voters didnât reject him; illness or death ended his career.
