a necessity existed for the establish
ment of some institution not already
provided we have been recognized, and
as literally as state finances would al
low. The soldiers home was removed
to Buffalo-by Union Pacific votes If
you please; Douglas was given the
state fair through like favor, and num-
erous other substantial recognitions of
the center and the north might be
enumerated. Both of our senators live
on the Union Pacific and yet no man
can point L a single act of their entire
official life which saysns Of sectional
ism. They, with Congressman Mondell,
secured the establishment of a military
post at Sheridan, which is constantly
being enlarged and improved to insure
It's permanency. The military post at
| Washable has twice bean abandoned
by the department by official order-to
be reinstated each time through the
Influence of Senator Warren as a men,
Der of the committee on military at
fairs, supported by the entire delega-
ton. The great Pathfinder dam pro
ject, and that also under way on the
Shoshone, may be credited solely to the
earnest solicitation and the widespread
Influence and well-directed efforts OF
our senator's and congressman-destin
ed to work wonders for central and
northern Wyoming, and giving the lie
direct to the assertion that there Is a
Cheyenne ring which has only in view
the interests of that section of the
state, and that these gentlemen belong
to Il.
Nothing so surely disproves the as
sertion hat the south has it in for
the ceuter and north than the attitude
of the Union Pacific newspapers. Pick
up either of the two excellent newspa-
pers published at the capital-or those
at Laramie, the econd city of the state
land l have yet to see an Issue which
did not contain some boost for central
or northern Wyoming. Never a symp,
tom of jealousy or sectionalism-al'
ways the glad hand and a willingness
to advertise us and our resources. They
are always and continually directing
attention to new enterprises, advocat-
ing the extension or construction of
railroads and urging the promotion of
irrigation development. They have
printed hundreds of thousands of col
umns of such advertising matter in our
behalf, willingly and without recon
pense and without thought that we
were presumed to carry a big stick
with which we proposed to lambast the
, stuffin out of them and theirs when
ever opportunity offered.
r This Cheyenne ring brethren, is
n creature of the demagogue-born OF
trickery and malice and fostered for
private ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The fact that
we are so widely separated n with
out a north-and-so uth road whereby we
might become better acquainted, to-
gether with a constantly changing pop
ulation, affords material on which these
mischief.makers may work. The CEN
ter and north contains many new-com-
ers who are unacquainted with the
facts, and ignorant as to the history OF
events leading up to the present-who
are easily misled. But we who have
been here and know, and who try to
be honest and fair, understand that
there is nothing in it. 1t is our duty
as citizens to denounce IN attempt at
political or industrial segregation
give the 'north-agaipst-the-south NAL
content the frosty mit--and pull, every
body, for Wyoming"
