Up ADVANTAGE

tSnake River Sentincl
The announcement of Marshall
Reynolds as a candidate for a seat in
Congress and the announcement OF
William c. Deming that he has de-
cided to withdraw his name as candi-
date for the same place owing to the
pressure of private business. came as
a very complete surprise in political
circles last week.
Mr.. Reynolds looms up in the
political horizon as one of tn" real
finds among aspirants for political
advancement and as a prospective"
candidate for public service he has
probably made more rapid progress
than any other man in the state. He
is a bright young man with Il record
for service as county prosecuting at
torney for LINCOLN County, a soldier
in the late war. member of the WyOm-
ing Legislature and Collector of In
ternal Revenue which is absolutely
clean and efficient.
1t has been Gus pleasure during
the past ear or more to come fire.
nuently in personal contact with Mr..
Reynolds and we cannot help at this
time emphasizing the fact that such
a closeup view and acquaintance
ship has served to immensely raise
our esteem and regard for this estim-
able young man. To he able per
s~onally to endorse him as IA candi-
date for Congress is IA satisfaction to
us that We had not anticipated until
just recently and we do so now most
heartily and willingly.
Aside from the agreeable and
friendly motive which prompts us
to make the above statement regard
inc Mr. pnynnlIs thnrn &c nnntbnr
reason much more important to the
State of Wyoming for our unqualified
endorsement of him and it is the rec
ord he made in the last Wyoming
Legislative Session when Mr.. Reyn-
Odds was easily n of the OutStand-
ing figures of hat Assembly. His
record of attendance. his painstaking
care of the duties Of craftsmanship
of committees his commanding
presence on the floor of the house
and HIS devotion to the interests of
his own constituency. were features
of his record last winter that were
often commented upon by others in
attendance and by interested listen
crs.
Summing up the many excellent
qualifications Of Mr.. Reynolds to
sustain him in a career of statesman
ship. such as he has chosen at this
time, we must now add that he
evidently is also possessed of that
ambition which will not down and
we know of no other young man in
the State who shows more promise
of developing into a worthy sue
cessor of the energetic. useful and
distinguished Congressman MOndell
to whose office Mr.. Reynolds at this
time aspireS. We sincerely hope that
he succeeds in the very timely and
laudable ambition.
Mr.. Deming at h last moment
his personal attendance to private
business affairs at this time and in
order to give someone else a chance
to step in and make timely arrange
ment for the race, he made public
his decision last week. Mr.. Deming
has many admirers in the state who
realized that he would make an eX-
cellent Congressman owing to his
great training and education for such
an office and it was with consider
able regret that they noted his sud
den decision in that matter. We
feel along with several other editors
in the state. however, that his Useful
ness to Wyoming is not limited by
the sacrifice of his former political
ambition, for as editor OF the Wyom'
ing Tribune and the Stockman Farm,
er, Mr.. Deming Yields a very whole
some influence in the state.
