ferred first to Frank w. Mondell,
candidate for the United States SEN
ate. to his long and successful career
in the house Of representatives and to
his tndefatigable labors on behalf of
the people Of Wyoming. Mention of
Mr.. Mondelrs name was heartily ap-
plauded.
DR.. Kell next called attention to
the state ticket, headed by John w.
Hay for governor. He did not include
the entire personnel of state ticket
in his remarks but mentioned the
fact that Mr.. Hay was well known.
both as a stockman and banker, to
all present and that the whole ticket
was entirely worthy of the support
Of all, from top to bottom.
County Candidates
In referring to the county and
legislative ticket presented by the
Republican party. DR.. Kell spoke a
good word for each candidate in
dividually and in a forceful and con-
vincing name asked his auditors
for the support of the entire ticket.
Five OF the candidates under dis
cussion we're present in person and
each in turn was asked to stand up
and be identified by any who might
not already know them. These were
Andy Nelson, candidate for county

called upon and introduced BY Mr..

we'll received and literally APP
pleuded. He spoke Of the necessity
OF Republicans seeking out Democrats
and endoavoring to convince them,
-ather than to waste good ammuni-

party fold. The speakers remarks
we're of a general nature and touched
upon the subject in hand in that
manner. only with special reference to
the vital issues of the present cam
paign and the advantages to be rea-
sonablv expected from a vote for the
Republican ticket as compared to
those offered by the opposition par

gressive' affiliations.
At the close Of Mr.. Dinsmore's adj
dress there was a general handshak-
ing with preparations for getting un-
der way for home. Everybody was
telling everybody else what a good
time they had had, and everybody
meant, It, too. Plans were made for
repeating the picnic next year and
making 1t an annual event, SO good
bye was said. always accompanied by
"I'll see you here next year If not

Italian Premier Out
Facta and His Entire Minis
try Resigns

Rome, Oct. 26 iBy the Assocla.-
ed Press premier Facta and
his entire ministry resigneu this
evening following the hostile at
titude of the Fascist and the or
dering by the Fascist of gen
erar mobilization of its forces
throughout the country if the cab
met declined to give up power.
The expectation in Rome to-
night was that King Victor En-
anuel would return to the capital
tomorrow for conferences with the
political leaders prior to the for
nation of the new government.
The situation was regarded hope
fully in Rome. The belief prevail
ed in some quarters that either
yittorio Orlando, or Giovanni Giolis-
ii would be requested to organize a
new cabinet.
The impression was advanced in
political circles that the Fac-a
ministry decided to retire chiefly
to bring about the formation of a
strong administration which at the
approaching reopening Of ths
chamber of deputies would be ca
pable Of facing the Fascist.
