toms concluding paragraph, and why
that particular comparison should oc-
cur to him, the reason being that ever
since we purchased the Enterprise we
have kept him scratching. -

We read Len Lenders swan song
last week with some qualification.
Heretofore he has taken the attitude
that we were not to be considered
seriously: therefore, when his dia-
tribe against ourself heightened into
two columns, we could not but think
that something had changed his
opinion, possibly the election.
We might reply at length to it, but
we have no taste to enter into an ar.
gument over a dead issue. The local
candidates in whom we were chiefly
interested we're elected, namely,
Messrs. LOOMS, Powers and Mark
ham, SO it really does not matter now
whether the peddling and mailing
out of sample ballots before the pri-
maries by the Methodist preacher
and l.. L. Newton's sister was or was
not an illegal action.
We might say in passing, however,
that the clerk of the court states that
it was never done before in Park
county to his knowledge; that we
are informed that the reason the
Democratic chairman did not call for
the ballots printed for him was be-
cause, upon consideration, he doubt.
ed if their distribution was right and
proper since the law says that the
sample ballots are for the judges OF
election.
We learn from the Powell Tribune
that some Cody Republicans are
blaming the Republican slump in
Park county upon the new state com
mitteeman, G. c. Dillavou. That this
is unfair goes without saying. Tie
blame should rest whe.e it belongs
upon the head of L. L. Newtoa wEor.
he succeeded. The damase was done
before Mr.. Diliavou was elected. Nc
amount of effcIt on his part ccrld
have repaired it.
What L. l.. Newton seems unable
to get through his noodle is that he
is a leader without followers, that
there is no inconsiderable number O
influential Republicans who will nol
work with him, that Democrats and
Republicans alike are sick of him and
just SO long as he insists upon max
ing himself conspicuous in politics
Just so long will there be friction.
With Newton and newtonism-by
which latter term we mean the cheaI
trickery, h%yprocisy. oily ia~sincerity,
and the eternal plotting against PEG
pie who differ with him, for which
he is Observation-Disclosures, there is
no reason why the Republican part.
in Park county should mo- be reunited
and stand solidly together under the
leadership of MI. Dillavou.
1t, is the desire of the Democrats
as much as the mutinous Republicans
that this should happen, and the flu
ture battles should be fought out
along party lines in a fair, open, and
honest fashion.
Now that P. E. Markham has been
elected county commissioner, his con
~stituents are looking to him to cut the
price of coal in two, adjust freight
rates, repeal the Volstead Act and
take off the tariff. These were
among his prediction promises, and
as he is a man of his word, it is ex
pected that he will live up to them
There was some talk of giving a
benefit dance for H. c. Sanborn and ].
H. vogel who bet optimistically upor
the wrong candidates in the recent
election. 1t was decided, however
that it would be in poor taste to make
light of their anguish and the plan
was abandoned.
