To the Den,ocyucy If W~yoning-A-
chosen representatives of YOU organiza
ton, the territorial central committee tax,
OCCASION respectfully to submit for YOU
consideration Il lew suggestions which
seem oppurtune as bearing immediately
upon the ISSUES Of tie coming campaign.
the material interests Of the territory aud
the practical wants of the people.
The Importance of securing the be>I
representation III congress viii n the lin
tied privileges of n territorial condition
afford is absolutely momentous in the IN
ripient but highly progressive state IL
which every industrial enterprise and
every local interest stands to day. Al
earnest and v%igilant delegate, with broad
views and without local prejudice, on.
who will work diligently and can work
effectively to promote the welfare of our
people, can accomplish much. A Demo
crat, IN sympathy with the party and in in
telligent working harmony With its influen
tial leaders would be able to shape national
legislation in the interest of his constitu
ents tn an extent only TO be measured by
the total absence of result from recent
Republican effort. The wants Of Wyo
ming have been disregarded beyond those
Of any other territory, because her dele
gate accredited to the popular branch OF
congress has therein been practically ig-
norcd.
In order to rebukc the growing spirit OF
local Jealousy and sectional strife. it seems
proper to suggest that the standard bear
er of the party should be a man whose
record shall identity HIM with the welfare
Of our whole chrysalis commonwealth.
and who shall be caoable of ignoring the
petty bias of locality in Difference to the
common wants of all. Such a man from
whatever county he may come. and with
whatever interest he may have been iden
titled, must necessarily combine all the
clements of success
With regard to the local interests of
the Counties 1t nav be said that by far the
most important offices are those Of coun-
cIlmen and representatives IN the terrific
rial legislature. The past Is too fresh to
require ON the glaring defects
and serluns blundcrs which have wrought
injury to all without working h, nefit TO
any interest. or to the people of Wyoming.
Let practical mem. capable Of looking for
ward 10 that future of established pros
perity which wise legislation would assure.
be nominated in every county-men se-
lrcted for the general confidence, which
the r nomination would inspire.
The necessity Of securing for the admin
i%stration of county affairs officers com
mended by their personal qualities. must
be apparent, and in this it is earnestly
recommended that mere individual FL
lowing be deferred to the need of organic
ing to promote final and lasting success.
Attention is earnestly called to the i'm
portance of preventing. As far as possible.
the corrupt methods 10 which our orpo
nents have shown themselves too ready to
resort. The election law is full and rom
plete in providing effective safeguards
against the control of elections bv undue
means. Let Democratic organization
array itself to secure the enforcement
Of every penalty provided by the
election law by authorizing the
publication of its leading pr,vis
ions, and by the selection not only OF Wig
liant challengers. but also Of committees
determined and pledged to prosecute
every infraction of law. Such a course
will tend TO disarm our enemies of their
strongest weapon and TO establish that
absolute frecdnm Of election which alone
is necessary tn assure Democratic success
Your committee is convinced that an
observance of these suggestions must con
duce tn party success and tend to the
raIid advance and permanent establish
ment on the most favorable fonting OF
every territorial inu.rst. while surely lead
ing to the organization of our growing
commonwealth. as wholly self governing.
equal and independent member of the
family of states.
