/ Mr.. Cox has declared that any man
is a - fool who runs for mayor. OF
Cody. In that we do not agree With
him but hold that hat is what soma
men become after they get in Office
Gfa9
Mr.. Cox's campaign managers are
putting forth the single argument
that he should be kept in office to I'm
ish the water-works.
That is not the reason for their
frenzied efforts to re-elect Mr.. Cox
and Messrs Hayden and johnson Up
on the council. Their real purpose is
to put the kibosh upon the Stampede
and to handicap its president. what
ever they may deny or say to the coz
trary.
Mr.. Goppert who is most active m
r~e-electing these persons put their in
tentions in a nutshell when he stated
a few days ago:
1.-THE Stampede will be a tame AZ
fair " Cox; Hayden and johnson are :
lin officer
This is the truth. and our readers
may draw their own conclusions as -
why Mr.. Goppert and those who are
working with him take this attitude
and wish to kill something
which brings more people and money
to Cody than any event the town has
ever had.
Are you going to let a small coterie
reveng themselves in this fashion,
Mr.. Voter?
FdT
DR.. r. C. Trueblood will be a candi-
date for Mayor.
His friends finally prevailed upon
him to make this announcement.
In the short time that he has acted
as president of the Cody Club he has
proven his qualifications for holding
office to everybody's satisfaction.
He has demonstrated that he has
business ability. tact and common
sense and does net confuse boorish-
ness and ill-manners with independ-
ence
The people of Cody will make no
mistake in electing Or. Trpeblood to-
this office.
w. T. Hogg and H. w. Thurston
have consented to serve as council
men.
These men are both old timers and
too well known to need any introduce
ton to anyone in this section. They
are conservative, fair and level-head-
ed-the sort of men that Cody is need
ing in her business.
dfdG
Cock-roaches are in bad odor in
other parts of the state as well as in
this section. judging from the fact
that there was loud applause in the
Courtroom when a jury recently re-
turned a verdict of not guilty in a case
where a Laramie man was arrested
upon evidence furnished by one OF the
species.
One forenoon last week a little girl
was asked why she was not in school.
She replied:
"Oh, m got to reading the En-
terprise and forgot to dress me-
That is the kind OF a compliment
we appreciate.

FOR cOUNCnMEN...M. /. Hogs AND 4. ". THURsTON

Cody seems to be about the only town in the State where the
authorities are seeking to prevent the election of two councilnen at
the election, as directed in the statute. From inquiry in various
parts of the State it appears that without exception, so far as we
can learn, other towns and cities of our class have given the plain
and ordinary Interpretation to the law and will elect two council
men. The people of Cody resent the nigh handed attitude of the
present administration in refusing to do this, and a strong movement
is now under way to force the election of these councilmen.
Messrs. w. 7. Hogg and H. w. Thurston have consented to be-
come candidates and with two such thoroughly qualified and equip
ped citizens willing to serve their town in this capacity there can be
no doubt of the outcome.
, 1922-05-03

My platform is founded upon one word-CO-
OPERATION.
| believe the people of Cody are tired of
strife.
Let us Danish the strong fractional feeling
which exists at present and pull together in bus
mess and the town administration.
Let us look for the good instead of the bad
in everyone, and at the end of two years we will
see what teamwork has done for our town.
If elected Mayor ! pledge myself to complete
the water system as now outlined and give all
credit for same to the present administration
Ny platform is COOPERATION.

Mr.. Cox declared that he would not
become a candidate unless 200 sign
ers could be had for his petition.
To this end, a vigorous campaign
has been made for signatures. Vot-
ers have been coaxed. cajoled. urged
to sign by the persistent persons cir
culating the petition and many have
signed under the impression that
there was TIC be no other candidate.
The fact that they have signed his
petition does not mean that 1t is ne
cesyary for them to vote for Mr.. Cox
Many persons whose names r up
on his petition have no notion OF vot'
ing for him.
They stated at the time their sig
natures were obtained that they
would. vote for him only in the event
that there was no other candidate for
the office.
Since there is now another candi-
date. the 200 mi upon Mr.. Cox's
petition mean very little and is not to
be taken as an Indication that there
is a strong. popular demand for his
reelection. One year of Mr.. Cox is
plenty. Two years more of him are
W. too many.
Mr.. Cox declares that he is not in
the real estate business.
We must believe our worthy mayor
but his exact meaning js not clear to
us.
Does he mean that he is not in the
real estate business because he hasn't
any business or that he is doing bust
ness without remuneration and is
therefore not liable for the maximum
fine of 50. 600 for acting as an agent
without a license?
His sign still reads-Ahstracts and
Real Estate.
He has property listed with him
sale and has not yet informed his
that he is out of the real es-
tate business. ID
He has rented the j. P. Altberger
place recently to a tenpent. acting in
the capacity of agent for Mr.. Altberg-
er in the transaction.
Mr.. Cox rented the old Christman
place to Dave Stitts this winter. He
has ~endeavored to rem a shack in the
end of town recently.
In a year he has turned over but
one property to the only-licensed real
estate agent in Cody and that-a
house to rent-because he was too
busy with his job of mayoring to bo-
Their with it.
Therefore. we wonder whether it is
that Mr.. Cox's real estate business
has dwindled to this extent in a year,
or is it that he is doing business with
out compensation?
Knowing his warm hearted. impuls-
i've, generous nature, we think 1t must
be the latter, and he is giving his
services without thought of comms-i
sions or pay for his time and effort.
Mr.. Cox's campaign managers are
urging his reelection upon the ground
that he should complete the water
works started during his administra-
ton.
That is nonsense. /,
The plans have been made and the
contracts let, and their is nothing
which a arise that DR.. Trueblood
and council lamont cope with quite as
satisfactorily as the present mayor.
1t has not been observed hat Mr..
Cox has any super-qualiications which
would make his retention in office es'
sential to a successful completion OF
the water-works system.

Rome, Sept. 2.
TIME biennial International Ex-
position OF Art, which is being
- held in Venice under the
auspices of the commune Of Venice,
is probably the most complete and
representative display of art since the
war. National tendencies in art, which
the war seems to have emphasized,
are brought into vivid contrast, and
the exhibition offers valuable oppor-
tunities for judging the development
of the newer schools.
About $4,000 visitors a week have
been entering the gates of the Public
tifully housed. Art critics from all
parts of Europe are seizing the op-
portunity to get what is more than
birds EYE view of postwar art
Besides the abundant collections in
the central exposition palace. several
countries haye pavilions of their owr
in which the national spirit is re-
hected. England. France, Germany,
Hungary, Holland and Belgium now
possess pavilions buried In the gar
dens. and Spain opened her new pa
vilion this year. 1t is expected that
America will follow suit in the future.

expositions has been slight. The Rus

The striking point of the exposition
is the contrast between the old and
new forms of expression. which take
clear nationalistic lines. The radicals
are the Germans and Belgians. and the
canvases which display clinging to
the old traditions are in the main
Italian. Modernity In Italian art dis
plays itself chiefly in the form of COM
mercial art. epitomized in the hilarious
advertising posters OF Leonetto Cappi-
clio, which occupy a whole room.
Sound Standards shown.
In the main. however. the exhibition
is distinguished by serious judgment
and by sound standards which have
eliminated much of the restless effect
of German art or the decadent
wastes of the Independents. Here are
the work of between 600 and 700 artists,
from Edinburgh to Buenos Aires.
The exhibition is distinguished one.
1t Is beautifully arranged and it gives
a definite sense that modern art is not
necessarily too chaotic. but rather en-
riched by new modes of expression.
There Is richness and diversity in the
Venice exhibition. and there Is not
confusion. The effect upon the OBJ
server is a heartening one. bringing
the assurance that art is getting
somewhere.
An excellent feature of the exposi-
ton Is the representative collections
of the wofhks ,of the moro important
artists, or of artists whose works are
available in large enough number

held in Italy has made a large number
