No returns w1etevcr, according
to Miss White, have been received

The dalay occasioned because Of
these counties failing to rush in

Theatre on neX Tuesday and We'd

Upon her return to this country,
Miss Hawley expressed her delight
in getting away from the ''shieks"
who have become standard-bearers
In literature and drama of today.
Miss Hawley takes exception to
the general conception OF what a
shiek really is. She reports that
the spelling of sheik Is wrong. In
Egypt the spelling is ~"sheykh."
Even the pronunciation is wrong,

Back on Their Feet Again
We note that the old scout who
runs the Lost Springs Times looks
to the future with confidence. He
says: 1.-THE sheep men are back on
their feet again; the cattlemen are
getting in better shape and If the
farmers will get down to brass tacks
and use diversified farming, and
raise hogs. goats, sheep, barley, corn
wheat, potatoes and feed the crops
to the stock and market them in the
shape of live stock, they will gradu-
ally come back and make some
money. All they need to do to go
broke is to adopt Democratic free
trade tariff and let in foreign stock,
grains and other commodities and
that will do it. Republicanism, pro-
lection and prosperity. or Democracy
and bankruptcy.-take your choice"
Paying Off the Debt
Following its usual custom, the
republican party of Wyoming is still
on the job of paying off the debt.

CHEYENNE. WYO., JUNE TO-
After the smoke has cleared from
the state conventions of the political
parties and just prior to the nation
al conventions is certainly a good
time to speculate and prognosticate.
There isn't a great deal of talk
among republicans, except that their
policy of Straight ahead" adopted
at Lander, shall be pursued to a
finish in November. The action of
the convention in giving unanimous
endorsement to President Coolidge,
Senator Warren and Congressman
Winter appears to meet with the ap-
proval of the rank and file. Every
body comedies hat they are the best
equipped of any that have been
named or even thought of and that
il would be the height of folly to
swap horses at the present time. AL
though they have made no formal
announcements, it is confidently ex-
pected that Senator Warren and
Congressman Winter will accede to
general demand of Wyoming re-
publicans and make the race. This
simplifles the situation and the party

now awaits the action of the national
organization at Cleveland, believing
that a splendid western republican
like Lowden of Illinois will be named
as the Presidents stunning mate-a
man every inch a republican and not
tainted with the heresies of COM
munism, blocism or any other devil
ish ism.
Different with the Democrats
The Democratic convention at Cas-
per did not endorse anybody but
Senator Kendrick, and he was placed
in a false position by their action,
While they perhaps intended it as a
compliment, they knew and he
knows that they were simply shoot
ing into the wind. Sentiment at the
convention was not crystallized in
favor of any candidate for senator
or representative. Three candidates
have been mentioned, Mr.. Laird, the
state highway commissioner; Mr..
O'Mahoney, Cheyenne attorney at
law, and Judge Rose of the eighth
Judicial district. Mr.. Laird has filed
his nomination, being the first and
only candidate to file at the time
this letter was written. 1t is the
belief among Democrats that there
will be at least two candidates for
the senate in the Democratic pri-
mary, possibly three.
Nationally the Democrats are ever
more at sea than in the state and it
seems certain they will go to New
York with no idea where they are
at"
This is the political situation on
the eve of the national convention.
Wyoming Signally Honored
The new conveyed by the Associa-
ted Press that Frank w. Mondell
had been chosen as the permanent
chairman of the Republican National
Convention was received with salts
faction and delight. Wyoming peo-
pie knew of his great ability as a
party leader and as a parlimentar-
ian, but they did not realize that he
and their sparsely settled state were
to be given such proud distinction.
From the time he first came to Wy
oming as a prospector for coal he
has grown every minute. locally and
nationally. He has been identified |
with every big industrial movement
having for its purpose the develop
of our resources. 1t may truth
be said that no other citizen
without large financial means has
been able to accomplish as much. In
in agriculture and in oil
he has taken a strong hand. In the
latter industry he has been able to
as an investor, but through
his powerful influence in congress
ne has enabled his state to share
Drodigiously in the results attained.

years of usefulness before him and
