THE WYOMING TICKET

NJ YOMING DEMOCRATS deserve
W success in this year of grace. 1904.
More than this, they have begun
Alright to compel success. In their
state convention held in Rock Springs
this week they named a ticket which,
In quality. no party in any state Of the
Union could improve upon. The nomi-
uees are without exception able men, OF
large affairs. possessing wide acquaint-
anceship and enjoying the fullest meas
IRE Of public confidence. It is perhaps
10 be fairly regarded as a good omen
that twelve years ago the Democrats
of Wyoming held their state conven-
ton at Rock Springs and that they
headed their ticket-with the nominee
Of this year, John L. Osborne Of Raw
Inns. Then. as now. an INSCRIPTIONS
gang OF place hunters lad the state by
the throat They had usurped control
Of the Republican party. and the rings
devoted adherents held every state Of
fee. as well as all Of the federal posi-
tons Opposition to the lords of the
machine, even show of independence,
meant political humiliation IL dis
played by a Republican. So secure did
the Republican leaders feel that they
scoffed at the suggestion of defeat. This
was the situation when Dr. Osborne,
was nominated FOR governor. Every
Republican Of prominence regarded
Osborne's election as impossible; scarce-
ly any Democrat believed it probable.
Tao odds were too great, apparently.
And so they would have been had not
the people Of the state, who merely
voted but held no Office, decided on a
change. They elected DR.. Osborne,
then u comparatively unknown young
man. Since that time Governor Os-
home has served well the people in
congress. He has been the avowed
choice OF Wyoming Democrats for the
United States senate. No man in the
state is more popular or more highly re-
sHeeted. His nomination this year is an
earnest of success. The Democrats are
a united. homogeneous body. while an
attempt BY anti-machine Republicans
% have an untrammeled man named
for governor resulted in a defeat. SO
haGrantly dishonest in its methods,
that a serious Republican detection is
certain.
