D. Cook. Hon. J. L. Baird and Judge c. N. Potter and almost every
N of the nominees on the county ticket, passed thru here o the
train Friday morning bound for Encampment. The Saratoga band
accompanied them to that city where a large and pleasant meeting
was held that night. They returned to this place Saturday morning
and spent the day very peasastly. The evening found them refresh
ed and ready for the duties of the campaign.
The day had been fine and in the evening the band played for an
hour previous fo the meeting in Jensen hall. When the meeting was
called to order by Col. j. F. Crawford there was only standing room
in the back of the hall. The stage had been artistcally decorated in
the national colors by committeeman, Frank j. Cramer.
Hon. j. L, Baird, the candidate for State Sreasurer was the first
speaker. His talk WIS along practical lines evidencing the sterling
quality of the man, for MI. Baird has been one of the leading men in
the safe for q years.
Mr.. Baird was followed by Judge Kuykendal WHO in a talk of 20
minutes, laid bare the facts of the deal, made months ago, whereby
he (KuykendalD failed to receive the democratic nomination at Sher-
idan and how the Osborne Carey Irvine plot sold out the democratic
convention, body and soul to Carey. Everybody in the country were
conversant with the facts, and the Judge val listened to with breath
less interest, while be detailed how he had been solicited two years ago
o head the democratic state ticket, and how he had been sacrificed to
The vaulting ambition of Ex-Governor Osborne, who hoped to ride into
The United States Senate by placing Carey at the head of the demo-
Ftate ticket. When Judge Kuyk-ndall rose to speak he was greeted
with a splendid ovation, showing the respect and esteem with which
be is regarded by all.
Following is brief account of Judge Kuykendalrs talk. He
aid it was the first time in his life had sat o n a platform at a repubi-
ban meeting and withal it was not humillating He urged his DEM
bcratic friends 10 support the republican ticket and not permit them
elves to be sold by the shameless deal at Sheridan with a sorehead
republican and a physician whose home is in Denver and has been
ur years.
Judge KuykendaI lauded the Wyoming delegation in congress to
he skies, and said it would be a sorry day for the state were either or
IL of them retired and such men as the physician from Denver put
n their stead. He urged his democratic friends to prevent such a
alamity from occurring and at the same time repudiate the shameful
elLout of their party for the personal gain of a few.
Judge Kuykendall has more friends here than any man in the
community, and all regard him as honest and siucere; and will head
lis advice and not be misled by the rsntings Of Carey, whose sole
mbition is to be governor and change the tax laws So as to say him
elf some of the taxes an honest law has made him pay in the last few
ears,
Judge G. N. Potter, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, was then
Introduced and made a short, digni6ed address, such as one would ex-
ect from q m of his learning and exalted station. He said be fct
hat while it was necessary that he should travel with the state candi-
ates, and take his place on the public rostrum with them, his posi-
on did not require that he should discuss the political issues of the
ay. He is a very pleasant happy speaker and every one a pleased
18th his plain practical talk.
Hon VIM. R. Schntger, the present Secretary of State and a caodi-
ate for reelection, wa the next speaker. His talk was mostly on the
! ork of the State Land Board in handling lands for the people of the
tate. He illustrated how the rentals for public lands had increased
ON $74, 1000 in 1907, to $l50O0O in 1909 and expressed it as quite
$robable that in the course of a very few years the revenue from this
ource would be sufficient to pay the expenses of every school district
q the state.
Hon. w E. Mullen, the candidate for Governor, was next introduc-
d and made a splendid talk lasting 40 minutes. Mr.. Mullen made q
God impression on every and his talk along the lines he proposed
b conduct his administration, should he be elected, was of such
o. character that every one felt that he was a man who would fill the
ubernat"ral office with great credit to the state.
