doug" PRESTON TO GO
Winter to Succeed Him as Attorney
asnsral-To Drop Ksndriek for
Robert Carey

Cheyenne, Wyo. Oct 2. Rob.
ert d. Carey of Converse County
National Committeeman of the
Bull Moose Party in Wyoming,
reached Cheyenne last evening
and has been in conference with
the Democratic leaders here in
reference to the political situation.
Both Democratic and Bull
Moosers are of the opinion and
'openly admit that Warren cannot
be beaten by Kendrick. Reports
received by them from all parts
|of Wyoming indicate that Ken
bricks candidacy is hopeless and
THAT, in spite of the barrels of
money spent for him he is losing
ground every day.
In view of this situation the
Carey faction is urging the Dem
|~ocrats to drop Kendrick and unite
with them in the support of a
Bull Moose Candidate. The
|plan is to name Robert Carey for
the Senate and have the Bull
Moose progressives and the Dem
combine in his favor and
elect him.
This plan was forshadowed by
Carey in his speech
last Friday when he called
to the available young
men in the State who could be
sent to the Senate.
Another Democrat marked for
by the Carey faction
is Attorney General Douglas Pres
ton. Doug is to be dropped out
of the Attorney Generalship after
the election and the place given
to Charles E. Winter in part pay
ment for his services in becoming
candidate for Congress on the
Bull Moose ticket.

Intolerable Conditions

At the meeting of the Young
Mems Literary club in Cheyenne
Friday night, the lynching Of
Wigfall in the state penitentiary
was discussed freely and handled
without gloves. While the express
sion was universal that wigfall
deserved just what he got, the
members were equally unanimous
in the opinion that a system that
would premit of a lynching to
take place in a penitentiary de-
manded investigation. If it is
possible for the prisoners to pass
the word, hold up the guards and
lynch a prisoner, it is also possible
for them to lynch the warden or
anyone else about the institution.
As to lynching in the abstract,
two or three members of the club
were inclined TO condone the Of
Tense, under circumstances, but
the general expression was that
under all circumstance in law

should uphold the law and permit
it to take its regular course.-Lar-

SOME RECENT
POLITICAL HISTORY

10 The Voters of Carbon County
On the nth day of October. 1910.
and during the political campaign
That year, Will Reid, the editor
OF the Carbon County Journal and
nov a candidate for Assessor of
carbon County published the fol-
lowing uncalled for attack upon me
in which there is not one word of
truth. For the convenience of
a Held and voters ] have
divided it into numbered para
graphs, each followed by a re-
quest for him to substantiate his
assertions or stand forth before the
people of this county as unreli-
able and unworthy TO hold any
office of honor or profit. Here is
the article that tickled the gang
and which killed the Democratic
ticket in this county in 1910.
Paragraph NO. 1.
Judge Kuykendall,"
The Boomerang asks, Is Judge
kuykendall A Good Democrat. We
answer No. He is not even a Demo-
crat o has he ever been a
good Democrat. A Democrat be-
lieves in the right of the major
ity to rule. A Republican believes
in one man rule"
While | was out of the state
in, 1904, and against my protest,
l was nominated for the State
Senate on the Democratic ticket o
this county. On November 5th,
during that campaign said Reid
published an editorial from which
| quote as follows. At the head
of the list We have that STER-
LING OLD TIME DEMOCRAT, HOf
w. l.. KUYKENDALL." Voters
what do you think Of a man VIII
will thus stullify himself and then
want to be Assessor of this county
thru your votes.
Paragraph No. 2.
Judge Kuykendall denies the ri
ght of the majority and demands
that he and he alone should say
who the Democratic nominee
should be- Reid is hereby re-
quested to produce his evidence
that l have ever denied the ri
ght of the majority of the Demo-
cratic party to rule or demanded
the right TO dictate what Demo-
crat should be nominated for
any office. l did draw the line
however, on the nomination Of a
boss Republican whom l had
fought politically for o than
twenty years-whom the bosses OF
the Democratic machine had nom
mated especially when not even
a respectable minority OF Demo-
Gratis had anything to do with the
sale.
Paragraph No. 8.
But, instead Of trying to abuse
the Democrats of this County
for not placing him in nomination,
he should thank them for saving
him from the humiliation OF de-
feat"
Reid is hereby called upon to
produce his proof that nave
ever at any time abused the Demo
Gratis of this county. Let the
voters have the evidence ant
not the, bald assertion.
Paragraph No. 4.

dye to Judge f. l.. Blood, wh'

Argument

We much regret that we do not
have the SPACE to print the entire
following letter which is q splend-
ed and comprehensive piece of
plain intelligence.
Encampment, Wyo. Oct, 4, 1919
Editor Saratoga Sum-
With growing Indignation 1
have been reading these many
vicious political attacks against
Senator Francis E, Warren, I'M
til at least 1 feel impelled to voice
my opinions in his behalf. hoping
that l may encourage and inspire
others of our private citizens to
do the same.
To those who of Wyoming's
best citizens, to those who hope
to become one of Wyoming's best
citizens, to those whose hearts
interests are in Wyoming, to
those who are proud Of their state
and ambitions for it's future, 1 am
addressing myself in particular.
This campaign, locally, seems
to have been narrowed down to
one issue: Shall we or shall we
not re-elect Senator WarrenP
Term after term, the people of
wyoming have proudly and conf
IDENTIFY returned Senator Warren
to Washington as their represent
tive. To attack him after his long
public association with Wyoming
is to strike our pride of state
To begin with, let me say, that
l feel l have a right to speak of
pride of state. My father helped
haul the first load of logs that
went to build Fl. Russell, his
homestead entry was one of the
first in Wyoming Territory; 1
was born here, raised here, and
married here; here were my child
rem born, here is my home with
all the memories Of past years and
hopes for years 10 come.
During these years, as pioneer
citizen, ranchman, cattleman,
shsepman, many sided business
man, as. governor, as Senator,
Warren's name has been 80 inter-
woven with our states history
that to abuse him is to injure
Wyoming and hurt us, her people.
While we have been growing
from short skirts and knee pants
to manhood and womanhood, to
fatherhood and motherhood, War
rel has been growing White in the
service of our .state.
During more than twenty years
of service in the Senate, Warren
has gradually earned the respect
and admiration of the senator's
from greater and older states,
won the confidence and friend
ship of Presidents, until he is now
one of the most powerful and in.
hu initial men at the Capitol City
He holds the craftsmanship of the
most important committe in Con-
gress. Wyoming, with a popula.
ton equal only to that of Alb any.
New York, is this not something
to be proud of! Is it surprising
that u sister states are jealous!
Are you wondering that their
papers and magazines are hunting
for "Warren's scalp?
This fall, our newspapers and
private mails are filed with l;be.
lious charges against Senator
Warren. To the intelligent tho
ughtful reader, many Of these
charges appear ridiculous and i'm
possible, others, unthinkingly, pay
his ability the highes st tribute.
Finally they all trail around to
the same end: Warren has Sc
cured too much, accomplished too
much for Wyoming
One pleasurable feature of all
this mud-slingipg and muck-rak.

Wheat Outlook.

dollar Wheat" has long been the
goal of farmers in this section, ard il
seems that their hopes are to be real
lied, for buyers are engaging every
available bushel of it for July delivery
at that price. and we are Informed
that they have already engaged good
per cent of the Garrard county acre,
age. The recently issued government
crop report shows shortage of about
60, 900, 900 bushels of wheat less thar
the crop of last year, and in view OF
this fact, We think the buyers are
perfectly safe in offering a dollar pei
bushel for the local crop The crop in
this county will not come up to the
average, even should there be fan
sailing from this time on, and wheat is
not safe yet by any means, hail, wind,
the fly and other evils may yet beset il
the acreage is smaller than usual, a
good per cent of the late wheat froze
out, and we think the farmer has every
reason to believe he will realize the top
price for his crop. Of course the local
crop cuts little or no figure in the
worlds wheat crop, or in the making of
the price, but we believe that there is
no place an improvement above the
local condition as to the growing crop.

McCreary For Clark.

Governor James B. McCreary in a
signed address to the Democrats of
Kentucky announces that he favors the
nomination of the Hon. Champ Clark
for President. Governor McCreary
and Mr.. Clark We're fast friends while
the Governor represented this district
in Congress, growing out of the fact
that Mr.. Clark was born and raised in
Anderson County, in this state. The
fact that Governor McCreary who is the
head of the Democratic state admins
tration and Hon. Ollie James has been
recognized as the leader of the Kentucky
Democracy at Washington, are both
urging the nomination of Champ Clark
for president, will helpKentucky demo-
Gratis to finally make up their minds
whom they should call for the presi-
Dental job. The announcement of
these two leaders of the party fol
Champ Clark has had large influence
for Clark in this county.

Strawberries By The Barrel.
(Harrodsburg Leader.)

Judge Charles A. Hardin is the pio-
neer, so far as We know, in the raising
of strawberries in this county in bar
rels. 1t is a most unusual thing to see
this delightful fruit hanging in pretty
clusters all around the outside and very
often quart can be gathered from
each barrel. The process of planting
is as follows: A good strong barrel is
secured and series of holes are bored
around it, about six inches apart Start
ing at the bottom row the plants are
put through the holes and into the
soil on the inside. Each course is put
in the same way until the barrel is full
1t is said that it is wonderful how the
plants flourish as it is easy to keep
them watered and in the proper tenn
perature and sunshine.

No Use For Pistol.

Mr.. John K. West who Is a great
friend to the RECORD and who for
many years wrote the news from
the Marksbury section of the county
has passed his seventy seventh year
and can boast of the fact that he
never owned carried or fired a pistol.
Not many people can say this, but we
hope that the example set by Mr..
West may have effect and that before
long the Kentucky Legislature may
pass law making it a penitentiary
offense to carry a deadly weapon.
When this is done we will have a
greater Kentucky and she will drop
from among the front ranks of the
states where most crimes are COM
mitted to near the bottom where she
rightly belongs. Take a list of the
crimes committed since you can rem
ember and IN most of the instances
they could have been prevented or
rather they would never have been
committed had the parties not been
armed with deadly weapon.

could swim, jumped into the creek and
swan to shore, but young Grimes could
not swim and for awhile stuck to the
buggy, but finally jumped out and tried
to sustain himself by clingiag to the
lines. Young Warner upon reaching
the bank looked back and saw Grimes.

the swollen stream and swan to the
struggling boy, and succeeded in seiz-

Mr.. Warren Curd has decided to the
Dix River Dam Co. the ground upon
which the monster dam across Dix
river about five miles above it's mouth
is to be constructed. Mr.. Curd has
also sold to the company a sixty foot
right of way through his farm to the
site of the dam, over which will be
constructed tram way and road over
which to convey the material. The
company has also acquired title to
many acres of land in the river bot
