ty and stated that this was now
being worked more vigorously than
ever, a. under . recent change in the
rules politics may now b discussed
openly within the lodge rooms,
whereas It was formerly forbidden.
Mr.. Perrett closed with Q strong plea
to get in touch with the railroad men
and endeavor to dispell the effects Of
the false doctrine which has been
spread among them.
A Dominant Note
Throughout the succession of short
interesting talks from the workers
of the five counties, each given with
a special view to bringing out the
purely local conditions which prevail
at home, there was n note which
was dominant, that of an arnes and
enthusiastic determination to elect
Frank W. Mondell 70 the United
States senate as a reward for years
Of faithful service to his party, his
state and his friends. Scarcely a
speaker but at some time during his
remarks mentioned this determine
ton, always with the calm assurance
that 'you can't beat Mondell," yet
never with over-confidence. All
agreed that "every Republican must
do his duty" The accepted policy
of state and county organizations
keeping hands off in pre-primary
contests between members Of the
Republican party was endorsed with
out dissent, while some features of
the primary law came in for a share
OF criticisms. There was a manifest
feeling of unison, confidence and
resolute purpose which augurs well
for the success of the party in Wyom-'
ing this coming November. When
the conference adjourned 1t was to
meet at a banquet to be given to the
visitors by the Albany county Re-
publicans.
Delightful Dinner
Early Saturday evening the guests
of the Albany county Republican or
%ganization sat down to a bountiful
and we'll appointed dinner at the
Conner hotel. There were about 1875
present and the spacious room was
we'll filled. Editor Burrage, of the
Laramie Republican had been chosen
and al soon as coffee and
cigars had been passed he introduced
speakers of the evening, in each case
offering a few remarks which were
witty, wise and pertinent.
Among the guests were three
ladies, one of whom, Mrs. Willitson.
of Granite canyon, was prevailed up
on by the toastmaster to say a few
words, which she did. taking occasion
to laud the achievements of DIR. Grace
Raymond Hebayd, whose work or b.
half Of AmeriCani3m has won her un-
stinted praise throughout the state.
The first speaker to be introduced
was DR.. E. A. Kell, mayor Of Raw
Inns and one Of the war horses Of the
party in his home county.
DR.. Kell was assigned the subject
of "OrGani1atfon," and his speech,
though brief and partly In a lighter
vein, was n of the real hits OF the
profitable evening. He told his
hearers something of the methods Of
local organization, county and
municipal, both in Pennsylvania, his
former home, and in RawlinS and
Carbon county. The Doctor seemed
to strike q responsive chord when he
laid special stress on the Importance
of the work Of the precinct commit
teeman, without whose earnest work
campaign can hope to be success
full.
Another Rawlins speaker was at
the eleventh hour mustered into
service and acquitted himself with
honor to hts fellow townsmen and
co-workers. Reference is made to I.
w. Dinsmore, who was started off
with a hearty laugh as he addressed
the assemblage al Ladies', Diplomats
and Statesmen" and who sat down
amid vociferous applause after hav-
ing delivered one Of the best short
talks of the day, his subject being
politics"
Other Speakers
Among those who spoke at, the
dinner were Alvin Sinnard, of Tor
rington, who chose the development
of irrigation projects as his subject;
Harry Weston, of Cheyenne, on war
finance and the work Of the cOfpora-
ton having this work in charge In
this state; Allen Leslie, of Cheyenne,
who delivered an earnest and elo-
quent tribute to the Republican
candidate for the United States Sen
ate, Frank W. Mondell. His facetious
reference to what ne saw in the
"Kendrick Ledger" brought forth .
burst Of applause.
p. J. Bryant, Of Platte county.
told his hearers why a farmer should
be a Republican and Monte Warner,
" uo"SOmoI 0nu Ecoiuout VI A8I-
annie, spoke Of the desirability Of the
formation Of Republican clubs for
young men and women, especially
for the advice and instruction Of such
as about to east their first ballot.
The last speaker Of the evening was
Judge w. e. Mullen, of Cheyenne,
formerly attorney general for Wyom-
ing. who spoke on the work accom-
plished by Congressman Mondell and
OF the urgent necessity Of promoting

tinue to serve the people Of Wyom-
