On July 20. tho time for filing nom
petitions for state officers.
United States senator and representa-
tive in congress-. came to a close. On
investigation of the lists as filed with
the secretary OF state. the fact is dis
closed that for the Republican nomi-
nation for representative in congress.
there are no candidates from the
northern part Of the state and but
one candidate from the central part
of Wyoming. That candidate Is
Charles L. Winter of Casper. In n
geographical sense 1t might be said
that Judge Winter IL a candidate of
central and northern Wyoming for
the Republican nomination for con-
gresham. Mr.. Winter is. however,
further fortunate in having lived for
ten years In Carbon county, Wyo-
ming, along the line of the Union Pa
cific in the southern part of the state.
The situation is further logical and
ideal in tina one senator and another
candidate for senator are from the
northern part of the state. and the
other senator from Cheyenne. in the
south. The selection of Judge Winter
for the Republican nomination and
his election would not only balance
the congressional delegation as it is
and will be after the election. but his
central location can be said to be
near to and representative Of every
portion Of the state.
Twenty years OF experience and &C
tivity in law in Wyoming. as n prac-
ticing attorney and as a jurist. seven
years of that period having been DC
cupied with his service as judge of
the sixth judicial district, have given
him a statewide acquaintance and rep
utation. One of the leading papers of
the southern part of the state. com-
menting on the qualifications of Mr..
Winter as candidate for the nomlna-
ton for congress-. has stated its views
rs follows:
"If Mr.. Winter were exclusively a
lawyer we might hesitate to endorse
his candidacy; for 1t is our humble
opinion hat Il government needs
someone besides lawyers to direct its
varied business affairs. But Judge
Winter is more than a lawyer-he is
a man OF varied experiences and err
satile accomplishments. While build
ing up n successful law practice at
|Encampment, Carbon county, he
found time to become actively inter
ested in irrigation projects and min
ing development.
"Mr. Winter is a student, a t~ireless
worker. and is thoroughgoing in
whatever duties devolve upon him.
His name is a synonym for honor and
moral and business integrity. With
his personal knowledge of the various
Industries and interest of the state.
his keen intellectual abilities, and his
impressive personality, he would make
a most worthy successor to Mr.. Mon
dell and would maintain Wyoming's
high standing at .he nations capital.
HE is a widely known attorney,
jurist and business man of Casper
For the past twenty years he has
been an honored citizens of Wyoming
and through his political activities. as
a platform speaker in many cam
paigns and his varied business enter
prises. has become , n of the best
known men of the state II chosen
to represent our people at Washing
ton he will take to the halls of con-
gress a wealth OF knowledge OF the
varied interests and needs of the
people of wyoming and Of h nation
at large, ability to weigh national
problems in the scales OF mature
Judgment, n strong personality. free,
independent and progressive thought.
and high ideals of personal and pub
lie morality and Justice.
Mr.. Winter is unaffiliated with. and
not subject to the suspicion Of influ-
ence or control by any special inter
ests. It is believed that the element
OF political geography together with
more important considerations will
make Winter a very strong candidate
in tho primaryselection."
