A PLAIN
Statement
Why Every Republican
Shou1d Support
Brooks.
FROM THE WYOMING TRIBUNE
Can You Afford to Vote fer a Democratic
Governor and Business
Depression.
FROM THE WYOMING TRIBUNE

Once in a contest the desire to
win, like hope, springs eternal in
the human breast.
Occasionally there may be a
man recognizing he is wrong or
that his success may be prejudi-
cial to the best interests of a com.
munity. who is willing to sacrifice
personal triumph, but such men
are SO rare they deserve 10 be can
onized.
The "never say die spirit is
much more common and like ii
lawyer pleading the wrong side of
a case the averave man is willing
to win regardless of ultimate re-
suits.
That is the situation so far as
the ace for governor in Wyoming
is concerned this year. The Dem
o%cratic party is bending every eff
fort and willing if need be to sac
ritice all else to elect Mr.. Osborne.
Lest a few th~oughtless Repub-
Leans may he influenced by the
cant of the Osborne agents and
~emissaries the Tribune desires to
make some pertinent remarks.
There was in the Republican
party in Wyoming last May a heat
ed controversy for the Republican
nomination for governor. News
papers and politicians all over the
state entered actively into the
fight on one side or the other. The
Tribune took its place on the fir
ing line and stayed there till the
contest was over and so far AS the
Tribune was concerned it was over
when Mr.. Brooks was nominated.
Notwithstanding the hypocriti-
cal campaign insinuations of tn t
''syndicatized" and Bartlettized
press, the Tribune announced
that If Brooks were nominated it
would cheerfully support him and
not once during the campaign
did the Tribune utter a word
against Mr.. Brooks, which would
embarrass it or preclude it from
standing squarely by him if the
opportunity offered. Much has
been sought to be made by Os-
borne Democrats of the alleged
frauds" perpetrated in Laramie
county. The day following the
primaries the Tribune referred in
jest to the diligence of both sides
at the polls and the extreme court
esy each side showed the other. to.
.ether with the amusing things
which happened because of the
number of strangers voting neither
side challenging for fear of losing
a vote.
AS in all primary elections
where there is a contest the con-
tending forces went for every.
thing in sight and when the other
fellows rustled more supporters
than the Tribune's crowd in that
fight we did not play the baby act
but submitted gracefully to super
Tor numbers and the will of tn G
majority. Except for the keen in-
terest aud full vote the Cheyenne
primaries did not differ materially
from many others in Wyoming.
Mr.. Brooks majority in the con-
vention was 81 great that there
could be no donbt as to his being
entitled to the nomination, and
the Tribune as one of the strong.
est Chatterton supporters immed.
lately threw the Brooks banner tc
the breeze.

selected for their ability and are
men of influence in the com
munities where they reside and
will make good when they take
their seats in the Legislature next
January.
Aaron Myers is a promising
and reputable attorney in the city
of Encampment, where he enjoys
the confidence and esteem of the
entire community. He was select
ed for his legal ability. as well as
excellent standing in this county.
Sheriff Horton needs not a word
of commentator from the Sun.
His ability as an officer has won
for him a host of friends in every
quarter of the county. A safe
man, a sound man, he will GER
tainly be the peoples choice.
Hon. William Platt the candid
ate for treasurer, has twice been
elected to the Legislature. 1t is
said that Mr. Plat will get the
almost solid vote of his W com.
munity regardless of politics and
no man needs a stronger recon-
mendation than that. If the peo-
pie want an honest capable man
to handle its funds then they will
vote for Mr.. Plat.
County TREASURED John Pratley
is candidate for county clerk.
For four years he has acceptably
filled the post of county treasurer
and no man has ever given better
satisfaction in that office Quiet
and unassuming, he attends
strictly to business. He is a poor
politician, but a most excellent
man of business.
Mr.. Greenfield, the nominee for
county attorney, is too well known
to neen extended notice. In legal
talent he is the equal of any man
in the county and it is generally
conceded that his nomination
was e~quivilant to an election.
Mr.. Watson has been our Clerk
of Court for two years, giving
entire satisfaction in that office,
The office of District Clerk re-
quires a man of ability, discretion
and much legal knowledge. 1t
would be very unwise to make any
change in that Office and the peo-
Pile will return Mr.. Watson to
serve another two years.
Miss Roberta Robnett has been
a boon to the people in the office
of Superintendent of Schools, and
her denomination was a deserved
tribute to her faithful and con-
scientious discharge of her duties
She has simply been untiring in
her efforts to promote the inter
ests of the schools of this county
She could not be replaced and is
held in snch high esteem by the
people generally that her election
is assured.
Il. r. Smith, the president of
the Encampment Mercantile Com
pany, was chosen by the conven-
ton for the 4 year term in the Office
of county commissioner. The
selection was an eminently proper
one. He was the choice of the bus
mess man of that city, and they
chose wisely for he possesses the
ability to handle the affairs in an
acceptable manner. No better
man could be selected for that
office.
Mr.. Sundin the selection for
the two-year term. has already
served a term as commissioner and
gave excellent satisfaction. He
proved to be the right man in the
right place. D. not fail to cast
your vote for MIR. Sundin, as you
will make no mistake.
Mr.. Paulson for county survey
or is a most excellent choice aud
the selection of Mr.. Dodds for
Road Supervisor is equally good.

REMEDY WORSE THAN THE
DISEASE.

1t has been proven by recent
experiments in Texas that the
South American ant is a decided
failure, as remedy for the de-
structive boil weevil. This lusty
and ferocious little gourmand not
only devoured the weevil tooth
and nail, but also the cotton,
stalk, leaf, bloom and boil, and
when these gave out man and
beast were acceptable food. The
experiment is but repetition of
many other attempts to cure ex-
listing evils. We try to rid a
community of saloons, and blind
tigers are substituted. We try
to pull out of a rut of poverty,
by close economy, and shrewd
bargains, and wake up to find we
are grinding and cheating the
poor, and where one grows rich,
ten grow poorer. We dose the
sick in body upon drugs and
liquors and their use becomes a
habit, which is ten times worse
than death itself. Let US have
remedies, by all means, but let
us have the right ones, lest they
leave a train of consequences
worse than the evil we seek to
cure. However, better still than
the most effective remedy is a !
preventive. In the boil weevil
case our people should use every
feasible and double |
may be unnecessary.

DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.

Now is the time, if ever, for
the organization of Demo-
cratic Clubs, and preparation for
a strenuous political campaign.
One central club should be or
ganized in each district, and why
should not Oxford, the Athens
of the State, begin the good
work, and our town be the head
quarters, politically of the dis
trict? 1t will take united effort,
unceasing vigilence, and tireless
energy to win IN the coming
race, and deity should prompt
immediate and decided action.
True heroes and patriots are
these willing to serve their coun-
try in peace as well as war-to
give time, talents, means and in
fluence for the furtherance of any
righteous public issue. There is
an inspiration in both leadership
and example, and we trust that
Lafayette County voters will
rouse to their great responsible
ty as conductors of the present
campaign and fall into line.
With Roosevelt-the advocate
of racial equality-our nations
head for another term, who can
foretell what evils and horrors
will be evolved in the South in
many sections where the negro
predominates? 1t is fear, and
fear only, that keeps the new
edition of our brother in black
under control. With a president
whom they-feel will aid and abet
F., them in any aspirations to power,
