IN WYOMING
CLEARED BY M0NDELL
Belief Is That House Leader Will
Win Easily Senate Nom
ination,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHEYENNE. Wyo., August g.
Wyoming's political atmosphere is grow
ing clearerobecoming as clear. in fact,
as the blue skies for which the state is
noted.
Tuesdays formal announcement by
Republican Floor Leader Frank w. Mon
dell that he would enter the lists for the
republican nomination for United States
senator one year hence served to set at
rest all doubts which have fingered in
some minds as to what would be the
lineup in the political arena here next
year. and it also served to set the
tongues Of the political wiseacres
wagging as they have not wagged since
they observed the unprecedented majori-
ties rolled up by Representative Mon
dell and President Harding in this
state last November.
Everywhere the announcement was re-
garded as the opening gun Of the 1922
campaign. That Mr. Mondell will have
formidable opposition from Senator John
B. Kendrick. democrat, next year was
generally admitted, but that he would
have serious time of it from within the
ranks Of his own party was not so uni
versally agreed to. Instead. the opinion
seemed to prevail around the hotel lobbies
and in political circles that he will win
the nomination almost hands down.
Some time ago it was reported, and
the report accepted as true, that Frank
G. Curtis. Casper oil man. was about to
announce his candidacy for the repub-
lican nomination for the senatorship
Later 1t was rumored that he might
abandon that alleged intention and in
stead shy his hat into the congressional
ring, with the purpose of succeeding Mr.
Mondell in the lower House So far no
word has come directly from the Casper
man. but local political observers de-
clare he would have very little show of
defeating Mr.. Mondell for the senatorial
! nomination. even though he might have
! some show in case he cared to enter
some other race.
No one else has been seriously dis
cussed for the job of contesting with
Mr.. Mondell at the primaries next Au-
gust. and at this writing it appears that
no one is likely to be. Neither will any
one get more than prominent mention"
for the difficult job of trying to wrest
the democratic nomination away from
Senator Kendrick. If he wants the place
again. as most people think he does, he
will have the support of his party
1t is almost a foregone conclusion,
therefore, that when the next general
election rolls around in November, 1922,
Representative Mondell and Senator
Kendrick will be found battling for
the highest office which can be given
by the citizenship Of Wyoming. And
that it will be some" battle no one
! disputes.
