q Theodore Roosevelt and the other TO break up the Machine
Rule in the Republican Party in Wyoming
Tn short. the object of the Progresslves, Is they al themselves, is
10 break mn ope machine by building up another Nothing can be
done in politics or business without organization such organiza-
nav Va called Inv n name you please, but it is, just the sane a
"nacbina" We have not one "machine" in Wyoming, but We have
two-the Republican party machine and the D+mocra,'c-o.o orne-
Kendrick- Carpenter machine. Senator Warren stands the acknow-
lodged leader of The republican machine nc oSoorhe- hem 'rick Car
penter at the head of the other.
The old time politicians remember when W had two Years of
the Osborne Machine rule and we do not believe tina. there is a single
man in Wyoming, not even the rankest democratic that VIII say that
he would like to have two years more of tor even two months more
oft. You will all remember that just a 8 soon a the people of
Wyoming got a chance they turned the Osborne machine out, bag
and baggage, and put theWarren Machine in power, and 1T has been
in power since with the gratifying result that W e have had the
best state government and the most prosperous times ta came
TO any state ever since
The letter referred to of Mr. Chenery's goes o to say that "such re.
forms may be brot about that the Party will become united, etc.
We would suggest to Brother Chenery that the very first reform the
Progressves attempt is that instead OF trying to break up the RepubH-
can machine they go alter the Osborne machine. We know of no
trust or combination in existance that is 81 close and compact in its
workings and effects a the Osborne machine. Democrats all over
the state know this, and they also know that it was the Osborne Mac
hine that nominated and elected Governor Carey.
After the Osborne machine, (the head of which is a resident of
Colorado )hs been broken up there would be abundance of time
to smash the Republican machine, if need be-
The real trouble with the Progressive is: They are against the
Republican machine for the simple reason that they are "out' instead
of sin" If the Progressive were in possession of the offices it
would not be very long until the people would have the gravest res.
sons to rue the change IN 'machinery," and would make haste to
smash the Progressive machine and restore the Warren machine to
power. 1t is not because we have H X nd Inefficient represents.
ton in congress; it is not because, pno o the present time, we did
not bave the best state government in existance for twenty years strait,
without a break; it isl not because of the fac, that the state was pro-
crossing as fast as any other state in the Union, but solely because
the "orts' were not "in' There is where the nub to this Progress.
sWe business lies. And the people can take their choice. Its
going to be a machine" no matter whether you call it the Warren
machine, The Progressive Republican machine, or what-it is still a
machine, say what you will.
