JAMES A. BENNETT
For County Treasurer.

To the Voters Of Carbon County
Having secured the nomination, on
the Democratic Ticket, for the office OF
County Treasurer, it occurs to me that
1t will be well to explain to you the
reasons which prompt me to present
my cause to the voters OF the County
with u feeling of confidence that | will
be favored with enough votes at the
coming election to insure my attaining
the position sought.
In the first place, the length of my
residence i'll this County impels me to
believe. that my earnest solicitation
for assistance will not be UNDECIDED.
Having been brought to the City of
Rawlins when but a babe-three weeks
old, they tell me-the greater portion
County, during which time l attended
the Rawlins Public School and gradu-
ated from the High School since when
l have been employed in three different
banks in Carbon County, worked as
bookkeeper in one of the larger stores
of the City, was actively connected
with the ]. A. Bennett Hardware Co.
for more h a two years, and finally,
after graduating from the law school
of the University of Oregon, have been
engaged in the active practice of law,
devoting special attention to CONNER
cial law. '
The experience gained from working
in the several pursuits mentioned for
more than 10 years has given me u
clear insight into the conduct of prac-
teal business such as amply qualities
me to efficiently and satisfactorily per-
form all duties incident to the office
of County Treasurer.
AS for my worthy opponent, Mr.. S.
Park. J have nothing to say, other han
to suggest that his constant connection
with the County Treasurer's office for
the past eight years should be a suf,
ficiently long tenure of that office for
any IL person and especially so when
considered in connection with Section
11S1 of Wyoming Compiled Statutes
which reads. in part, as follows:
and shall be incapable of
holding the said office longer than
four in any period of six years"
Whether this desire to be longer con
nected with this office indicates an eff
fort, intentional or unintentional, t.
evade the very apparent purpose OF
that law, / will leave to you to deter
mine. But, be that as it may, don
you think there should be a REASONABLE
limit to a persons connection with an.
public office?
Should ] be elected to this position
l pledge myself to 10 everything in III
power to faithfully perform all the du
ties incident to the position. N
, May l not nave your vote?
i Very hopefully and respectfully

1. c. Jefferis, the Republican candi-
date for State Auditor, was the only
member of the senate of Wyoming to
oppose and vote against the measure
adopted by the Legislature in 1917 that
made 1t possible for the government to
take over the militia of our state and
make it a part Of the United States
army. MI. Jefferis had a son who was
a member of the militia at the time this
came up for passage, which
explains his opposition to the bill.

A Message From McAdOo.


Washington, ID. c., Oct. 27, 1913.
The President needs the support of
able and loyal men in this particular
crisis in Americas life and in the life
Of all the peoples of the world. That
support must proceed from men who
are in sympathy with his views on the
war and the general policies for which
he stands. The prestige and power of
America in this war will be irretriev-
ably hurt il the President should be re-
pudiated in the forthcoming election by
the return of a majority against him
in either or both houses Of the National
Congress. w. G. McADOO.

FOR STATE TREASURER

Mr.. Jordan, our candidate for State
Treasurer, is not a banker. Ever since
have controlled the State Treasury In
fact, the STATE Treasurer has always
been Il banker. We believe it is time
for the people to have a State Treas
urer, and Mr.. Jordan, on account Of
his familiarity with the State of Wyo-
ming and on account of his excellent
business ability, is well qualified to be
the peoples first State Treasurer.

With reference to the candidates for
United States Senator, you in Carbon
county are familiar with both of them.
Governor Osborne stands for PROG
RESS-the Woodrow Wilson kind of
democracy. Senator Warren, by his
vote on important and momentous leg
~islation which we of Wyoming, as pat
riots second to none, desire to have on
our statute books, is branded as a re-
dictionary. How many of you think MI.
Warren voted right in opposing the
War Revenue Bill? How many of you
think he could be called a patriot from
Wyoming when he voted against the
Merchant Marine Bill in the United
States Senate? Did he vote right in
opposing the proposition to let the peo-
pie signify their will as to whether or
not they wanted prohibition? He was
against a free expression of the people.
And yet in Republican campaign mat
ter we see it often stated that Senator
Warren is working hand in hand with
Wilson. His recorded vote in the SEN
proves the opposite.

The Republican candidate for Secre-
tary Of State is generally known as the
most narrow-minded and biased poll
tician in the state of Wyoming. Gov
ernOr Carey characterized him as a
mar without honor and without the
common principles of manhood. Mr..
Chaplin is the head of the Laramie
Republican Company, and whenever he
is out for office it is invariably Il po-
sition that allows him to place great
quantities of printing work. If he is
elected Secretary of State, numerous
printers Of Wyoming who have been
getting n share of the state work under
Mr.. HouX's system of competitive bid
ding, will find themselves ION the out
side lookin' in and the Laramie Re-
publican will wax fat at the expense
of the state. Without competitive bid
ding, Wyoming citizens will pay well
for their public printing.
