BARROW is out with another screed
against Governor Chatterton, twang
ing the only string left to his harp,
that of complication There are
no complications except those that
have been manufactured out of whole
cloth. Other men, prominent men in
the state of Wyoming, have been

There Is positively no fault to be
found with Chatterton. He has often
been tried and always found true.
Instead of all this abuse aimed at
Chatterton, why do not Brooks
friends boost him, instead of berating
C~hatterton?
The u~Dst fallacIous argument that
Barrow brings against Chatterton is
his connection with the building of
the road to Lander. Because Cover

Chattertou for Governor.
Less than a month from now the
winning candidate for governor will
be named by the republicans of Wy
oming, aud, while there is consider
able newspaper talk to the contrary,
it seems evident that Fenimore Chat
terton will win in d walk.
Cheyenne men who visit Grand
Encampment are almost unanimous
in the opinion that despite the well
organized opposition, Mr.. Chatterton
has steadily gained ground, and that
the peoples candidate has the ma
chine at its wits end.
Perhaps no other campaign has
been so vigorously waged DIS the
present struggle between the factions
in the Wyoming q. o. p. To be
sure the machine has nominated and
elected good men. Mr.. Richards
was a good man, and Mr.. Brooks is
as good as the best but the rank and

bossing the party.

Fenimore Chatterton has earned
the honor thai his party will confer
upon him in next months conveu-
ton. 1t should be his without the
asking. Let others whose ambitions
get the better of their calm Judge
ment wait their turn. The party
will care for them in due time.
But today the republicans of Wy
oming are in duty bound to respect
a just demand, to add appreciation
to service well performed, and to give
honor where honor is due.
Fenimore Chatterton is fully en-.
titled to the nomination, and there
should be no other candidates.

no reason why there should be any

should be kept fully stocked, even if
