With or Without Experience

A adapted to directing the financial opera
tons of a great state and one capable Of com.
handing the confidence and respect of tina people in
this regard, must first have shown in his own pri.
vate affairs his efficiency TO manage well and eco
nomically and show profit upon investment. Unless
a man can do this he is a manager no one will have
and is a poor manager TO hire in n larger capacity
where revenues are derived only from. assessments
upon the stockholders and dividends are not ac-
counted for solely in cash.
Compare if you will. the showing of the two Re-
publican candidates for governor, JOHN HAY and
ROBERT CAREY. The former rose from a laborer
in the ranks of transportation TO the superintendent
OF division of a great railroad. He did il solely
upon his own merits. He had no influential rela-
tiEes or friends to push him into place. Then when
he had reached this station he concluded to enter
business for himself and went into live stock and
farming. He was successful because he put energy,
industry and intelligence into his business. Oppor.
|tunity came to branch out into banking. He i'm
proved it. Demand came for development of coal
lands at Rock Springs and he found the capital to
engage in the upbuilding Of his home town and vi.
Icinity. His several concerns grew by careful and
economical management until he is today one of
the most important and successful business men
in the state. 1t is true also that in the years of
the building of his fortune he also established a
upon which there is no stain of sharp
practice or untairness to man, woman or child.
His reputation throughout the state for integrity.
fairness and consideration for others is known and
recognized.
JOHN HAY has done these things and built his
own fortune and place in the state altogether by
himself. Whatever he is or whatever he has is due
Ito JoHN HAY.
On the other hand, ROBERT CAREY was born with
a silver spoon in his mouth. From infancy to man.
hood he got what he wanted merely for the asking.
No effort of his was ever put forward to obtain the
things he desired. He never battled the world in
any ambition to rise. He never heard of struggle
and poverty, the elements that enter into the for.
nation of the character of American manhood.
RoBEST CAREY has had no experience in life to fit him
for the larger things and the larger parts real men
arc called upon 20 bear.
His basic education in the affairs of life has not
fitted him for high responsibility. He lacks poi,e
and Judgment. In fact, he has never grown up: He
comes from others.
He has never made n real dollar in his life. He
has never had to, it was always supplied without
his personal effort.
In his circumstances economy would be n va que
theory out of books. He never had any contact
with it.
This is a brief outline Of the two candidates. The
question of fitness, of qualifications is settled with
lout argument. Your own horse sense tells you
which candidate you would select to conduct your
lprivate business and since the distinction between
your private business and your public business is
SO slight whom will you select to manage any af.
grew up with experience or the man who grew up
without it?
The choice is yours to make. Help yourself.
