Carey's Appeal.

that state money is being extravagant-
ly used and that taxes have been need
lessly raised in consequence. He real
lies that II by any means he get
the voter to believe this, 1t will mean
another vote for him. Consequently,
the Judge is resorting to juggled fig
ures, downright Misrepresentation AND
even deliberate falsehood in an effort
to create this prejudice to his ben
eft. The burden of his entire speech
is graft" and machine rule"
Judge Carey has had his agents al
the state capitol for nearly -four
months, scrutinizing every record and
voucher In search of evidence to be
used In backing up this charge OF
graft. These agents ave been given
the greatest freedom of search, the
books have been opened to them, and
they have had the widest opportunity
to Investigate state affairs. Here are
all the eharges-just four of them
with which Judge Carey is attempt
Ing to substatiate his charge OF whole
sale graft" Let US glance at them.
Charge No. /: Governor Brooks
charged the state s162 for a trip to
Chicago, made during the Republican
National convention.
The governor went to Chicago to
confer with the railroad companies
and with capitalists contemplating
large Investments in the state. AS a
-xz.lt - chic trim much nt the INDUS
trial development now in progress In
wyoming was initiated, and the gov
ernor brought back with him $500
for the use of the state in dry farming
experiments in Wyoming, solicited by
him from the railroads.
Charge No. 2: The state veterina-
rian collected and has withheld from
the state treasury, the sum OF $500 In
fees.
This charge has been thoroughly an
swered by DIR. P~flaeging. 1t is absc-
lutely false. DR.. j. M. Wilson OF Doug
las has deposited a certified check for
$500, to be given to the L.
brary of Douglas, If Judge Carey or
anyone else can prove, before any
county, district or federal judge In
this state, that DR.. Pflaesins has ever
grated q single cent during his term
Of office.
Charge No. 8: State Geologist Hall
and State immigration Agent VIII
liams, in making a tour Of the state,
wrongfully charged the state with a
$500 expense account.
Almost the entire duty of these W
officials is to a%cquaint themselves with
actual conditions in the state. They
made the trip in Halls auto. By 30
doing they saved the state all railroad
and utn1a forn hpndrada nj dollars in
livery hire because many of the places
visited are remote from he railroad,
and because of their mode of convey
ance saved the state hotel and other
expenses in being able to cover much
more territory In the same length Of
time. The two men were out nearly
ninety Gays, they Travelled almost 5000
miles, and the total expense to the
state was about So per day-from
which sum they had to deduct their ex-
penses. This trip was worth hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars to the state,
and that Carey should attempt to
make capital out Of II illustrates the
desperate straits to which he 10 re-
duoed.
Charge No. 4: Governor Brooks, 70
turning from the deep waterways eon
vention at New Orleans, charged the
state about 500 for expenses In
CURED.
This last charge In too trivial for no
tice, and shows the desperation to
which Carey is driven in his search
Of evidence Of graft" Governor Brooks
went as representative of the state Of
Wyoming, with the governors of other
states, and in so doing was acting
clearly within his province. To az
tempt to use this as evidence Of
