JUDGE WINTER
AT TEMPLE
WYOMING CONGRESSMAN MAKES
FINE ADDRESS TO CODY
AUDIENCE AT TEMPLE

Judge Chas. E. Winter, Wyom-
ing's congressman, and Republican
candidate for reelection, was a Wis
itor in Cody Saturday, and on that
evening made a fine talk on the
national issues of the campaign at
the Temple theatre. Owing to the
impossible weather. and other en-
tertainments scheduled for the same
evening, the audience was not as
large as could have been desired,
but nevertheless the Temple was
well filled with interested voters.
Judge Winter is a fine speaker.
He holds his audience with a mag
netism which is had by so few
takers. In addition to this he had
a subject in which he is vitality in
terested, that of the election of
Calvin Coolidge to the presidency
OF the United States and the return
ing. of Senator F. E. Warren to the
United States senate. Mr.. Winter
was not lacking in arguments why
those men should be elected. He
was not lacking in reason why La
Toilette should be kept from plac-
ing his radical ticket in power at
Washington, and for two hours he
talked upon the national issues of
the campaign, in IN interesting and
both instructive and convincing
manner.
Judge Winter has been making a
tour of the state in behalf of the
Republican ticket. He talked to a
large and enthusiastic audience in
Sheridan and spent a day in Grey
bun. He spent Sunday in Cody
and on Monday went to Worland
where he was scheduled to make a
talk. Pa

.COUNTY'S ATTORNEY BEST
i'm WYOMING SAYS JOYCE
State Examiner Passes Ernest j.
Goppert High Compliment for
Efficient Manner Handling
his Office

That Park county has il it's coun-
ty and prosecuting attorney, Ernest
j. Goppert, one of the best and
most efficient county officers in WV
oming, is borne out by the state
nents of Leroy Joyce, assistant
state examiner, who has had occa-
sion to work a great deal in the
offices at the court house.
According to MI. Joyce, the coun-
ty records show that the business
of the county has been more care
fully looked after by the county at
torney here than by any other coun-
ty attorney in other counties of the
state. Not only have the funds ow-
ing to Park county been collected
in a businesslike manner, and
turned into the county treasury, but
all the other legal business has been
handled with efficiency. Mr.. Joyce
has had occasion many times in his
auditing work to e. information
and advice from the county attor-
ney, and he says it has been given
of Mr.. Goppert.
Mr.. Joyce works in the county Of
fees of each county in the state,
and it was more than a year e
that he remarked that Park county's
attorney was unusually efficient and
attentive to the county's business.
While here recently he again made
the voluntary remark that beyond
doubt this county had the best coun-
t. attorney in the entire state.
