In politics, when thine enemy assais thee, look for the motive
When an army is attacked from ambush it riddles the brush for it
nov someone is hiding there.
When Tom Jones, who has been soiournino !, A;..
rl years, returns to Montana and proceeds to attack Rem Rrown
Fho has been attending to his own affairs and those entrusted to
i'm, You know that Tom has an old grudge in his system and
must get it out.
Discriminating people in this country look for the motive inst as
France they say, Look for the woman"
Discriminating and fair.mind+d people are not mucb ins,a,ood
" attacks whose motives are laid in slfshness or dsannointoa
inhibition.
rnt-p4ge' double-colum' double-headed article in praise of Willis
ieorge Emerson and in attack upon Senator Warren, makes some ex.
ravagant statements. 1t says:
POLITICALLY, Mr.. Emerson, when formerly a resident of the stat
od of had anything the people of Wyoming could have beip.d to
give him from a state senstor-ship up to the highest Office With the
Et of our people, but he alpays consistently and stead fastly refused
bill political preferment."
Brother Drury "a dead wrong in his, for Mr.. Emerson. instead
d"slwaya consistently and steadfastIy refusing all political prefer
ment" a quite constantly and seadfastly seeking Office.
Commencing along early in 1898, and extending down through
1903 and up to 1904 when he went to Southern California. he wanted
obe:
Ambassador to Mexico.
He was a candidate for appointment by Governor as the WON.
ng commissioner to the Paris Exposition in 1899.
He wa a candidate for postmaster general.
At another time, for fourth assistant postmaster general.
He wa also a candidate for appointment as national Republican
Committeeman from the state of Wyoming.
Also candidate for delegate to Republican national convention.
As his various requests and letters to the Wyoming delegation
and other Wyoming friends abundantly show.
Futher along in the Herald's spectacular article is the following:
Concluding we will further state that we positively know that
Willis George Emerson is now in the east engaged in the Iaudable
work of raising 500, 600 in cash to bring into Wyoming to be ex-
pended in futher developing the states resources, and be usually gets
what he goes after"
Yes, he may be in New York for that purpose, but what he is
really doing, and has been doing in New York, is to write attacks up
Ph Senator Warren for sale to undertaking magazines and other pub.
LEGATIONS which articles he peddes ont through brokers who handle
|Mch material.
This is a matter we'll known by many in New York and Washing
ton, and Emerson himself confded this intention to friends in Denver
and Cheyenne and perhaps other places before leaving for New York.
There is documentary evidence to this effect.
The Grand Encampment Herald should correct it's record.
Wyoming people hope Mr.. Emerson will get the 100000 to de-
@lop the state, but they did not see what license he has to make at
lacks at 81 much per column on a man whose residence is actually in
Wyoming and who is doing something for the state.
Mr.. Emerson has not lived in Wyoming for many years.
