A COMPETENT OFFICIAL.

One of the state officers who has
made II record for being everlastingly
at the business of his department is
Maurice erosion, the State Dairy,
Food and Oil Commissioner. BY his
unfailing courtesy, his knowledge of
the most desirable features of the pure
food laws of this country. and his in
sistent pressure to secure the enforce
ment of h laws, he has been largely
instrumental in raising the standard
of our dairy, food and oil laws and in
protecting dealer and consumer alike
under these laws. Mr.. erosion is
he Democratic candidate for Sec
rotary of State, and in that office he
will have even larger opportunities for
service to the state, and will make the
kind of record of success that
has characterized his work as Pure
Food Commissioner. His friends and
of all parties and in all parts
of the state are rallying to his support.

Victory In Sight.

The democrats of Carbon county and
wyoming have cause to feel confident
of n glorious victory this fall because
of h splendid ticket which is before
them for support.
In Hon. John +. Osborne Carbon
county has II nominee of whom the
democrats of the whole state are
proud. He is the ideal candidate for
the high office of United States sena-
tor because of the fact that he is closer
to the administration at Washington in
its policies thar any other man in the
state with the exception of Governor
HouN, ana with Governor Hour on the
ticket with him we have a ticket which
should receive the undivided support of
every real American who believes that
the paramount duty of all at this time
is to assist in winning the war.
Mr.. oSbOrne'S long service in Wash
ington during the trying times prior to
and after the beginning of the war. put
him i'll close touch with the work now
being done by President Wilson and his
administration. In fact, he has been
close to the administration in all things
connected with the conduct of the war
from the very first. and helped materi-
ally i'll satisfactorily handling the Mex
lean question and the many other veX-
ing matters which arose as the result
of German propaganda which sought to
embroil this country in war with Mex
leo and japan.
He is 100 per cent American and is
100 per cent in sympathy with the add
ministratiOn. while Mt the most his OBJ
ponent is but 30 per cent in favor of
standing behind the president"
When he has taken his seat as a SEN
ator we will know that we have II man
in the senate who will in all things be
a consistent supporter of the admins
%tration, one who will help our
present able Senator Kendrick in Civ
ing Wyoming representation of which
it and the nation may feel proud.
As to Governor Houx there should be
no question. He has been our governor
during all the war time and has been
largely responsible for the excellent
record made by our state in the mobil-
ization of IL state troops and the
draft men who are now in the national
army. 1t was because OF his excellent
system that we We're able to be the
first state to report that we were ready.
and he has been very highly compli-
mented by the men at Washington on
his accomplishments in this line. In
fact, so noticeable has been the record
OF our state that chautauqua lecturers
have referred to Wyoming as the most
patriotic state in the nation.
To make II change of governors now
would be II gross blunder, as n new
man would AVE to go back to the be-
ginning and earn all of the things
which Governor HOux has learned in
the past W years, not only in connec-
ton with Ii war but in state matters
as well.
Many of the best laws now on our
statute books We're originated by Mr..
HouX while he was secretary of state,
and he keeps in touch with the needs
of our state along these lines.
In my next letter L will take up q
few things in connection with the coun
ty ticket, which is undoubtedly thu
strongest ticket offered the voters fol
many years past. c. c. d.

seemed to see a vision of her, delicate
as porcelain; sweet as a perfect rose

two shrill and brazen creatures of the

two over whom the men beside him

rid intimacy These also were-women.
Was it the men, he wondred, who made

that he deliberately should set his foot

goad on these men in talk that sick

to listen to things ne abhorred?

how lucky he was, What more could
