Head aud Shoulders Above Them All
There never was a position so high
but there We're plenty of men capa-
bile of filing it. This is true of the
govenorship Of this great state of Wy
oming.
Each week the name of some fav-
orite son is brought out, but head
and shoulders above them all stands
Hon. William r. Schnitger, secretary
of state. His work in the position he
now holds has clearly demonstrated
his ability to cope with matters of
great moment and his succession to
the position Of chef executive of the
state would result in great good to
the state aud honor to himself.
Mr.. Schnitger is the lodical candi-
date or the republican party and of
the people as the next governor of
