country is prosperous to a degree ley
err before noted and the congress had
been not slow in doing good work to
help out the prosperity. Mr.. Mondell
spoke of his own efforts in behalf of
a cleaner immigration law and told
of the action of the party in power in
the adoption of the pure food law, the
railway rate legislation law, the natur-
alization law and others for the benefit
of the people.
Burke Gets There.
Mr.. Mondell declared that the legis'
lature of Wyoming and the governor
of the state, If they had done nothing
else, deserved the hearty commenda-
ton of all the people of the state in
the enactment of the state pure food
law and the appointment of Hon. E.
w. Burke of Evanston as their first
commissioner. This law was not thir-
ty days old before a milkman in my
town was arrested for loading his milk
with formaldehyde and selling 1t to
be fed to the infants of hat city. Ed

Stone Shown UP.
The speaker devoted some time tc
Stone of Lander, declaring that Stone
had two things before him-to secure
from the state something he has nc
right to and taking pay from the dem
ocratic state committee to go up and
down the state creating discord and
d~issension over the proposed irrigation
system of the Shoshone reservation
He told of stones plan, and said thai
if the states laws on irrigation wert
rotten enough to grant Stones de
mand," Stone would be enabled to irri
gate Is, or 10000 acres of that res
eryation, making it practically impos
sible to bring the remainder of the
vast tract, about 100000 acres of irf1
gable lands, under the ditch.
The Cream for Stone.
The laws of Wyoming are the hes
in any state in the union and they for
ever shut the Stones and other agita
tors out of the way. "Stone would ge
the cream Of the land and leave thf
| others for all time Is arid as they arr
at persent. The states plan will waite
the small tract of land Stone is con
tending for and nearly a quarter mil
lion acres of other lands just as fertile
Just as rich and just as available
Stone could water his small tract o
low land cheaper than the states plal
can be placed in operation, but h
would prevent the irrigation of all tn,
bench lands and would lay the fenc,
down for all sorts of schemes to fol

err than Stone can water fifteen thou
sand, then some other fellow witt
five thousand would beat him and
man with fifty would skim the crean
even from the five-thousand-acre feI
lows crock, and where would Stone be
Plea for County Candidates.
Closing, Mr.. Mondell made a pie
for the state, county and municipa
tickets of the party, urging that a couI
Gilman vas a part of the great systeI
of tried and true policies. The pol
cies of the party were those of expel
fence and they had been found gooC
Why go to the other extreme, KNOWN
that the only lesson to be learned |
from experience? Why experiment
when the policies now in force are de
ing so much for every man, woma
and child in the state? The local pc
iticians are the ones who brace up tn
state and the state helps in carryin
out the governmental policies. Ever
man on the ticket is worthy. He i
better as a politician than his oppc
nent and always as good a citizen. Nj
Mondell was heartily cheered at tn
conclusion.
Reception to Speakers.
After the speakers had retired fror
the platform the glee and mandoli
club played a stirring number and
sort of good fellowship meeting wa
held on the floor of the hall, men an,
women shaking hands with the speaf
ers, congratulating them upon thei
remarks and ~presaging victory at tn
polls. The meeting was a success
from ever standpoint, and the attend
ance was better than any had hoped
