miniature reproduction OF the
stunts made famous at the annual
frontier day celebration. Mr.. Taft
watched the bucking bronchos, the
races between cowboys and the rop-
ing of wild horses with Sreat inter-
est. He reviewed several thousand
soldiers from Fort Russell, inspected
the town from an automobile and
spoke on his tariff yetoes in the
operat house to good-sized crowd.
Governor Carey, who accompanied
the president across the state, told
Mr.. Taft that he would be backed BY
the Wyoming delegation at the next
republican convention and that he
would receive the electoral vote Of
the state In November, 1912. This
announcement was Of particular in
sterest because Governor Carey was
