OUR SENIOR

'There is not in the uchole United States a man more trusted
1t was the President Of the United States speaking at chey-
enne and it came as a truthful tribute from the head of our
government and from a man who had served with Warren in
the Senate. The printed record of the Presidents trip does not
life throughout the states visited sit a"G It " was s. not taco a compliment n p M from r"
a partisan standpoint; it was not obligatory that the President
break off in the midst of his splendid speech to tell Wyoming
citizens that which they were proud to believe, but it was an
ship, his service and his untrng labor. 1t was a mighty voice
from the East and from the highest authority of the nation
and honored to a degree not exceeded by any living American.

in Wyoming in our estimation of the senior senator must offer a
that his gauge of the man is truthfnIly correct, and to this we
add our pride and sense of ownership.
Tribute and appreciation of the man in question is not alone
called forth because of his almost ,%thirty-fve years of service in
ttnued confidence of his constituency, only could such a tribute
be le. honestly 3Sn paid because 's ola of labor RIA and a achievement; because in
ment covers a period of over fifty years in the service of his
mayor to territorial legislator, from this to territorial governor.

opportunity is his to represent Wyoming:
but he gave as his BIT the immortal al hymn The M lar Hs :
and it had the strength of ten thousand. Senator Warrens posi-
ton today at the national Congress is honored and secure. His
service has long been recognized and in the past he has been
awarded the Craftsmanship of many powerful committees. To
day he is head of the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
Wyoming comes first in his thoughts when matters of appropri-
ations are considered, but with it all is a fairness and square
ness for all states of the Union.
Although an unwavering Republican, Senator Warren has at all
times been nonpartisan in his treatment of his constituents. No
citizen Vi his state has been denied or refused his aid on account
of opposing political beliefs. Letters flow into his office from
Democrat as well as Republican, and all are given the utmost
care and attention. He represents WstaH:zs and Wyoming PEG
pie.
In November of next year Wyoming will be called upon to
again elect a united States Senator. Some may think the present
too early to discuss the question. We do not agree. This paper
is not interested in Senatorial possibilities. 1t accepts only the
singular sense, and is hugely interested in the candidacy of just
one man. 1t has no second choice or third choice. 1t has one
only-both now and as long as it is fortunate enough to be
honored in the Senate by the present incumbent. 1t is for
Frances Emory Warren as long as he will consent to serve.
Being for Wyoming and all its best interests The Rawlins Re
publican takes this position with all confidence, and is proud to
declare as its slogan Warren for Wyoming"
