FRED H. HEALEY
For the Legislaturel

The Republican party of this county is really fortunate in the
selection of Fred II. Healey as one of the three candidates for the
lower house of the State Legislature, for he is a man who has
made a success of his own business affairs and who will give the
business of the State the same careful attention. He is in add
ton a man of culture and refinement who has travelled widely and
made a thorough study of the proper conduct of public affairs.
Mr.. Healey was born in the state Of Missouri in the year
1886 and, after finishing a course in the public schools, he re.
moved to Washington, ID. c., where he spent the following Is
years earning his living while completing his education. Later
he had an opportunity of widening his range of vision and getting
another viewpoint by a trip abroad, where he served two years in
Copenhagen as the private secretary of Ambassador Egan.
In 1911 Mr.. Healey became n resident of Wyoming and To-
Gated in the Platte valley, where he became a successful ranchman
and cattleman. About two years ago he disposed of his ranching
interests and has since devoted his time TO his personal business
affairs. He is president of the Stockgrowers Bank at Saratoga
and of the State Bank at / ncampment.
Mr.. Healey is a public spirited man and one of the leaders in
the community in which he has made his home. He is always
found in the front rank when any forward movement is under
consideration and will prove an extremely valuable addition to
the Carbon County delegation in the legislature.
, 1922-11-02

Leland A. Smiley, who was the choice of LIS party for the
office of County Clerk at the Primary election, enjoys one of the
widest acquaintance of any man in this part of the state, for he
is a native of Laramie and has spent practically his entire life in
and near Rawlins and is a graduate of the local High School,
He later prepared himself for a business career by a course
in banking at a Salt Lake City business college. For a short time
he held a responsible position in a bank in that city before return
ing to Rawhns to take charge of the extensive livestock interests
of his father, Robert A. Smiley, one of the pioneers in that bust
ness in the state and one OF the most highly respected citizens of
Rawlins and Carbon County.
His son, Leland A, who is the subject of this brief sketch, is
a worthy successor of his father and his administration of the
affairs of the office of County Clerk is sure to reflect credit upon
himself and the family name. He promises to the people of the
county an economical and efficient conduct of the office, which
will have his personal attention. The intricate details of the of
flee and tie countless demands made upon it by the public call for
ability, integrity and hard work, and Mr.. Smiley is well fitted in
every way to perform the manifold service which is required of
all County Clerks.
During the past year Mr.. Smiley has acted as Deputy County
Assessor and in that capacity has had occasion to visit every part
of the county in person and has thus had an opportunity to
fami6arize himself with conditions and to enlarge his circle of ac-
quaintance among the voters and taxpayers.
, 1922-11-02

The Republican voters of the state chose as their nominee
for State Auditor a capable young man of Casper, Vincent Car
ter, who combines youth and actual working experience in state
affairs for the past three years, a combination which should prove
first of the year.
Mr.. Carter is a native of the state of Pennsylvania and a
graduate of a law college in New York City, and has resided in
Wyoming continuously since finishing his studies. He practced
his profession of law at Casper until in 1919 he was appointed
deputy to the attorney general of the state, when he took up his
residence in the state capital, Cheyenne. Since that time he has
won a reputation for hard work and faithful attention to duty,
which bespeaks for him a successful administration of the ardu-
Gus duties of state auditor.
After seeing active service with the United States Marine
Corps throughout the World War, and after returning to the
pursuits of peace, Mr.. Carter became intensely interested in the
work of the American Legion and took a prominent part in the
organization of a post at Casper. Since taking up his duties at
the state capitol he has affiliated himself with the Legion Post
there.
Mr.. Carter proved himself a campaigner and a vote getter
during the primaries and, due to the prominence already attained
by his ability, industry and integrity, will undoubtedly receive a
heavy vote in every section of the state.

On the generally accepted principle that lone good term de
serves another" there has been a rather insistent demand that
Roscoe H. Alcorn should permit his name to go before the people
,of Carbon County for re collection to the house of representatives
in the state legislature, to which he has cheerfully acceeded, as he
always does when called upon to perform a public service.
Shortly after being mustered out of the army after the sign
ing of the armistice. Mr.. Alcorn was elected to the legislature
and his work there during the session marked him as one of the
real leaders of progressive thought and action in that body. There
he developed a capacity for sane, constructive legislation and
showed an intimate knowledge of the needs of the people of his
county and state which proved especially valuable in the councils
of his party.
He is the editor and publisher of The Rawlins Republican and
enjoys a wide acquaintance in all sections of the state, where his
editorial utterances are generally read and freely quoted. He is a
practical printer and a member of the Typographical Union and
has always been an employer Of Union labor. He is a member of
the Fred Duncan Post, American Legion.
Mr.. Alcorn has always been an active party worker and
at all times an enthusiastic Republican, ready to give his time,
money or labor to advance the interests of the party or those of
his personal friends. He has served for the past two campaigns
as secretary of the Carbon County Central Committee.
, 1922-11-02

Thomas H. Butler, of Hanna, who has been nominated by the
Republican party for a seat in the legislature is a native son of
this state and county, having been born in the town of Carbon in
November, 1870. All of his life he has been identified with the
development of the state and of the coal industry.
He is the eldest of a family of Ii children, and has been self
supporting since he was a lad of eleven years, and has risen to
his present position of responsibility through sheer aggressive
ness and strength of character. Although having been employed
IN the coal mines at various points in the state his time has been
spent the most part in Carbon county. Since 1908 he has been
superintendent of the Union Pacific mines at Hanna. with the ex-
ception of a short time during which he was transferred to a sim
liar position at Superior.
The public service already rendered by Mr.. Butler in the past
has been conspicuous and satisfactory to his constituents and his
presence in the Legislature will not only reflect credit upon the
county but will prove valuable from a business standpoint. For
eight years he was a member of the board of county commission.
es and was chairman of the board for six years, during all of
which time he demonstrated his fitness in the management OF the
peoples business. He was at one time deputy county clerk for one
term. Asan employer of labor Mr.. Butler has gained a reputation
for fairness and a Just regard for the rights of others which has
won him many firm friends among the coal miners, who are his
most loyal supporters.
, 1922-11-02

Carbon County has been fortunate indeed to have had the
services of w. A. Mckay as a member of the Board of County
Commissioners for the past IL years, and equally fortunate to be
able to look forward to a continuance of these services, for it was
with considerable difficulty that he was persuaded to become n
candidate for reelection, as he had made up his mind to retire at
the close of his present term.
The IL years of "Scottys" incumbency as commissioner have
been progressive ones and the county has gone ahead as never be
fore in matters of substantial growth. The financial interests of
the county need a man of his ripe experience and business sagac-
iy at the head of its affairs and he has proved his ability, fairness
and rugged honesty to such an extent as to make it a plain bust
ness proposition for the taxpayers to see that he is again returned
to the office of county commissioner.
The assessed valuation of Carbon County has increased from
SIS, 100000 in 1910, when "Scotty' was first elected, to within a
few dollars of SIG, 100000 in 1922. During these years great
sums have been spent by the county commissioners for improve
ment but always wisely and as economically as possible and with
a view to permanancy.
Fourteen steel bridges have been built in that time, all sub
stantial and lasting, besides which a number of wooden bridges
on smaller streams. In 1910 there was not a single mile of graded
road whereas there are now over 800 miles.
Mr.. Mckay is a competent, economical, honest and fearless
servant of the people, whose record is unassailable and who
should be reelected by an increased majority.
