1t sometimes occurs that nome
minor incident or effort in the life
of a man has Unexpectedly had much
to do with spreading his name and
fame in his state and making him ia
vorably known to its citizens. and
this is illustrated in tho fact that In
1906. while travelling in Pennsylvania.
after a long absence from Wyoming
and his people. Judge Winter wrote a
few yerses o m the subject CT "Wyo-
ming" which were afterward set to
music and spontaneously adopted and
accepted by the people of Wyoming
as their state song. This song is used
ana heard and sung by the school
children. and its rendition has been a
notable feature of many state occa-
sions.
Commenting on his service as Judge
OF the court of the sixth judicial dis
trict. attorneys have commended W
qualities in particular: those OF pa
tience, and the disposition to give op-
portunity to counse OF rotn sides to
present fully and completely their ar
guments and views. Inspection of the
records disclose the affirmance b. the
supreme court of Wyoming of so per
cent of cases appealed from Judge
Winters court. which is far above the
average. the record of all Judges OF
the state since its admission to the
union being about &c per cent. This.
his friends consider to be ample proof
OF his legal ability and soundness OF
Judgment. These qualities should
stand him in good stead and enable
him TO make an equally good record
in congress should he be selected and
elected.
1t Is a matter of record In the Re-
publican party that Judge Winter by
his work and ability as a platform
speaker on behalf of Republican state
and county candidates, has assisted
very materially in the election OF n
great number OF Republicans TO office,
from United States senators to county
and local officers. In these cam
paigns he has almost invariably o
cred national questions and issues. as
well as affairs of the state. He a
been a student of national politics and
policies for mani years His discus
sion of the issues of the 1890 cam
paign were favorably compared with
those of men of national reputation,
including some of the ablest senators
and congressman of Washington.
Since retiring from the bench In
1918 Judge Winter has known OF the
trials and tribulations, and has taken
part in the experiences OF those who
have developed the oil industry OF the
state. and has been successful in the
building up of two on companies
which have an assured permanent
production for many years, and
which. with h recovery OF h oil
industry as to price and production
taken. will pay substantial dividends
to their stockholders. His experiences
in mining. irrigation and drainage
will be of great benefit in the o N
sideration of federal laws and in look
ing after the interest OF the people Of
the state in the departments at Wash
ingtoa. Mr.. Winter has on W &C
casions presented valuable contribu-
lions of Importance and moment In
the national conventions OF the Ma
tional woolgrowers' association.
1t is a rather common belief that
lawyers have not known and do not
appreciate the conditions and prob
lens OF the farmer. livestock man.
wage-earner and the laborer. In
many cases. however. this ia not the
fact, and particularly 80 IN the case
of Mr.. Winter. who knows the mean
ing of hard physical labor end toll by
actual experience, having worked rs a
young man in sawmilis. a wheel
scraper factory and on western
ranches. The interest OF those who
work for wages will never be ignored
nor neglected because OF want OF
knowledge and sympathy with their
needs and wants.
Upon these and other considera-
tons. friends of Judge Winter believe
