THE z GOVERNOR,

Z President Harrison's appointee for gov
ernor of Wyomlng-Francis f. Warren Of
~Cheyenne-is a big bodied and big Drained
man of "A years of age. He has lived
here since the formation of the territory.
His training has been chiefly commercial,
but he has natural executive talents and a
faculty OF moulling men to his way Of
thinking. BY instinct and training he is
a man OF the world. Long contact with
all classes Of people has given him a deep
insight into the mainsprinRs OF human
action and his tact and adroitness have
done much to increase his personal popu-
larity. He is a man of tremendous energy
and vet has the happy faculty OF n
plishing a very great deal of work wit ut
the appearance OF fuss and furry. He
has risen to the surface almost wholly by
his own exertion. In the long years he
has lived here he has done much to up
build this community, but perhaps in
passing hasn't entirely overlooked his own
interests.
There is no man in tie territory who
keeps a more intelligent finger on the
public pulse. Every nook and corner Of
the territory is scanned with a keen eye,
and the varying sentiments Of the differ
cnt sections are learned from the news
papers or through personal contact with
the people. Mr.. Warren is ambitious
perhaps excessively so-and this may lead
him, in fact has led him, into furthering
the interests of people who have been
faithful to himself or his party. but with
out any dazzling recommendations in
other directions. From the standpoint Of
public policy this has been his chief po-
litical mistake so far; from the standpoint
of practical politics it may have been the
part of wisdom.
That he will make q good governor no
one has the temerity TO dispute. His
great practical knowledge OF the territorial
resources, his fealty to Wyoming, his ex-
tensive and influential acquaintanceship,
his adroitness in public affairs, coupled
with his ambition to shine in whatever
sphere he moves will make him
Il perfect steam engine of energy
and persistent, well directed effort.
Leaving aside all questions of sectional or
or political feeling, the territory is to be
congratulated on Ex-Governor Warren's
speedy resumption of the gubernatorial
chair. In the coming four years of his
administration we may expect to see
Wyoming brought c~onspicuously to the
front, largely through his intelligent
labors. Wyoming is just beginning to
emerge from its shell, so 10 speak. 1t
needs stimulation; it should be brought
more prominently and kept more persist
emily before the people of the country.
The coming governor is well equipped to
do yeoman service in the great work of
advertising and developing our resources.
The nomination has already met with
spontaneous popular appreciation. No
candidate for a territorial Office has ever had
more numerous endorsements than Fran
els L. Warren has had. These, coupled
with the personal endorsement OF Dele
gate Carey, gave him a prestige which
no other candidate could possibly over
come.
There is great work to be performed
by the governor of Wyoming during the
next few years and unless popular jujg-
ment is entirely at fault Mr.. Warren is
the man to perform it. THE LEADER
wishes him success at the reopening of
mis- public career.
