To the Public

/ wish to express my appreciation of
the unanimous endorsement given me
by the democratic assembly for . re-
nomination as county clerk and record
er. While have tried to give dem
onstration of capable and efficient ad-
ministration of an office manned entire
ly by democrats, have not allowed the
Office to become either partisan or \
personal machine. Improvements have
been made in methods and service, and
l believe the record will bear the closest
inspection. Upon this record and the
Unborn feeling Of fair play that one good
term deserves another, ask the sup
port of all democrats in the September
primary, and the votes of good citizens
Of all parties in the November election.
Respectfully,
j. f.. SNOOK.

Humane Society Permits Old Style
Steer ROping

Steer ROplng
The Wyoming Humane Society has
agreed that steer roping, old style, shall
be permitted at Frontier Days at Chey-
enne, August 18, 10, 20 and 81. This
means that the worlds championship
steer roping contest will be the most
spectacular and most dangerous of the
sports of the celebration, for old style
roping means that the steers shall be
busted after they are caught. There is
no more thrilling spectacle and none
more astonishing to the uninitiated than
that Of a $50 pound cowboy on a 900
pound pony causing 1900 pound steer
to turn somersault in the air and then
tying him into helplessness before he
RECEIVERS from his astonishment.
At the request of the humane society
several changes were made in the rules
for the contest, including one that steers
shall not be busted if one or more feet
were thru the loop, and the remainder
of the rules were approved. So long as
they are complied with, there will be no
interference by the humane authorities.
More than hundred ropers from a
dozen states and half dozen countries
will compete in the Cheyenne roping
contest, which viii! be genuinely con-
test for the championship of the world.
Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma will
bring their own horses for use in the
contest.
