A part Of the proceedings of the COM
ing state republican convention to be
held in Cheyenne the 18th of this
month, is a cut and dried affair. A po-
"litical ring. composed of a majority of
about 5000 of the voters Of the state,
have laid their wires to force the nomi-
nation of Frank Mondell for congress,
down the threats of more than 100
deleatesg-delegates, too. that seem to
have no other thought or wish than to
do as this ever increasing majority
dictates. That's the way politics are
run in this state with Mondell at the
helm. At the rate things are going now,
in the campaign two years from now
he will have the state so completely
within his grasp the people will prob
ably not put up an opposing candidate
i'm fact there is no use in doing so thi.
