WHY WE ARE FOR BLAcKMoRE-

There are numerous and excellent reasons
why everybody who has the interest or LAS
DER at heart are for MIR. Blackmore for mayor.
Our own reasons were set forth when we
publicly rendered our support to Mr.. Black
more and proclaimed him the best quaiihed
candidate in the interest of decent and eco
nomical administration of city government
Mr.. Blackmore has been a resident OF Cas-
per and identified with its growth and up
building for thirty years.
His honesty and integrity cannot be sue
cessfully challenged.
His faith in the city is exempli6ed by his
works. He. has erected a number of monu-
ments in the form of splendid buildings that
have indicated his good Judgment as a bust
ness man and his enterprise as a progressive
citizen.
VIXEN he FIRST came to Casper he esta5-
lished a drug business, having been educated
in that profession in Michigan. Later he es-
tablished a market and built the Blue Front
building on Second street when it was an I'M
dertaking for that day and the most Preten-
tious building in the city. He acquired and
developed the Hat Six ranch and it is today
a model. He has been a constant builder and
improver ever since. Men have always asked
his judgment and opinion and it was freely
given and proved profitable to those accept
ing it.
In civic matters he has always been for the
better things, public spirited and helpful.
As a citizen he has been a model. His home
life ideal. He has always desired the right
anu dlwdy II chOOo " Is u CHCtCI nus
and never will, if we Judge him correctly, per-
init the public to be wronged. And the best
evidence of this attitude was when he COM
PEELED the Warren Construction company to
perform its duty under its paving contract by
tearing out two-inch paving base and laying
down four-inch base. This is entirely to his
credit as a citizen and a taxpayer and is to
be commented by all honest and fair-minded
citizens.
What attracts any acquaintance to MIR.
Blackmore is his -incorruptibility. His plain
honesty and decency. The three hundred
and sixty-6ve days in the year kind. The de-
pendable kind that is all too infrequent in this
day in public officials.
The kind Of man who has a full conception
of the public business, the rights of citizens
to protection from exploitation at the hands
of those transacting business with the NUM-
cipality. The nerve to call a halt upon those
who would wrongfully or carelessly spend the
public treasure.
There would be no jobbery put over an ad-
ministration directed by Mr.. Blackmore. We
don't believe any would be attempted. We
don't believe a charge of ineficiency could
hold against his business management.
We believe that the taxpayers would he
informed at all times and the public records
would be open to inspection at all times, and
the exact financial condition of the city be
placed before the people at all times for there
would be nothing to conceal at any time from
those who own the business and have the
right to Know.
These are reasons why we favor the cleo
ton of Mr.. Blackmore, and for very much
the same reasons we favor the election of Ed.
ward M Seaton in the first ward, John C.
jones IN the second ward, and M. j. Folev in
the third ward, as members of the city coun.
Gil to lend their support to MIR. BIackmore IN
giving to Casper the honest busine.sJ;lte al.
ministration the city needs in this hour of he,
