John B.. Kendrick. Lawbreaker and Governor.

Can you point with any pride to either the Carey or the Ken
ldrick gubernatoral administrations of this state2 Can you find one
thing that Carey did, while in office, when he promised s. much to
our people, who piuned their faith to him and elected him governor
in 1910? Go back over his term of Office and size it up.
Two years ago Kendrick purchased the honorable Office of gov
ernor from the voters of this state, promising the same thing that
Carey had failed to give us. Has he made sn honorable governor9
Can you find anything in the Kendrick career that is a credit to the
people who gave him the trust.
Going back in history: has he ever advocated a single thing of
economy or value to you or l as the common people. He a the
man who wanted our state Legislative term extended from 40 to 60
days, when it already cost us over 100000, and he would burden
you and l with more taxes, and can he show u 8 any good that would
come from it?
He was one of the strong advocaters of the corrupt practices act
that was to make the office seeking a poor mans game. When he
expended over $4,000 for his campaign for q. S. Senator in 1912,
says that no candidate shall spend to exceed 20 per cent of the total
amount q. the first years salary of the office he seeks. and the Office
he sought carries a salary of $500 per year,
As Governor and President of the State Land Board he purchas-
ed nearly 10000 acres of land. The law is very plain that no trustee,
administrator, execuioneer, auctioneer, or member of the state land
board has any right to become the purchaser of the property in his
custody and Gov. Kendrick is most certainly custodian of the state
land and all state property. When the Wyoming Tribune sent an
attorney to the state land board to examine it's records, he was refus-
ed access to the public records of that land sale. WhyP
Over the face of the Goddess of Liberty on the American silver
dollars hendrlck supporters are sticking an advertisement asking
your support and mine, yet the Federal Law says that no person
shall use the face of American money for the purpose of advertising.
Yet Kendrick wants to make laws for you and 1 at the National Cap
ital that he may break whenever he chooses:
Could a man like John B Kendrck be of any value to you and l
as a national law maker, when he advocates one thing aud does ano-
ther. When he has proven himself to be the stick that he is and
lawbreaker, could he be found working for your interests and mine.
His good wife is St ambitious that when he was elected governor
she oulu not n anything nice enough short OF New York for a
gown for the inaugural ball Think of a woman pushing a man for
social position, and when her husband became governor of this great
state that she was too good to wear a dress that she could procure in
the west, not even Cheyenne or Denver, but travelled to New York
City and paid something like $4,000 for the gown. Did that make
kendrIck a better governor for you and L or did it give Is The hint of
why hendrick purchased the governors office, at your expense and
NINE, SIMPLY because hs wife wanted social position, and now, not
satisfied with her social position in Wyoming, wants to go to Wash
lngtpn, and hubby is out now trying to purchase the office of U. S.
Senator from you and |
Is that the kind of a man that you want to represent your state
in Washington? If it is, go to it, but when the ballots ar conptad
you VIII hd ours among those who are voting for Wyoming and her
preservation Tor the man who has long given us his honest work,
and a man who Is capable of looking after our needs and safeguard
ing our interests, and not purchasing offices for social position. We
are voting for Sen. Q. ID. Clark.
