congratulated President Coolid,
Of the Republican National Conven-

tion of the choice Of the people.
freely and emphatically expressed in

ed with enthusiasm in a convention

the splendid character OF its member

Acceptance Of the President
There Ii no high-flown oratory
In President Coolidge's acceptance Of
the nomination to the Presidency At
the hands Of the Republican Party.

. He stands squarely for the policy
OF protection. in this taking direct
issue with Mr.. Davis. the Demo-
cratic candidate. although his ad-
dress was written prior to the time
that Mr.. Davis gave utterance to his
free-trade sentiments. In this par
ticular matter. the two candidates
and the two Parties are drawn
squarely in opposition to each other.
Herein lies Wyoming's Greatest in
terest. Practically all Of our de-
~veloping industries depend In some
measure upon the policy OF protec-
ton. The Democratic Party OF this
State recognises that. and Its leader.
Senator Kendrick. has In the past
few years freely renounced any ad-
herence to free-trade principles and
has supported and voted for the pro-
tective policy. For this reason. II
seems logical and certain that thous-
ands OF wyoming Democrats will re-
nounce Mr.. Davis and his Party's
platform and support the policy OF
protection by standing with MI.
Coolidge and the Republican Con-
gressional candidates In this State.

publican Party since the Inaugural
