Geographically speaking, Senator warrens home location as a
senatorial candidate is ideal With Senator Kendrck coming from the
northern part of tn state and Congressman Winter living in the central

One of his best Qualities is SO wen known to all that it needs but
bare menuon-his absolute loyalty to his friends. Once his friend.
always his friend. 1t has been onen and truly said of him that never
has he been guilty of allowing anyone o poso nMs mind against one
of his friends. This does nt NEAR that he will condone the unworthy
o not condemn the guilty. He is a fair man INT a just man and may
condemn tn unworthy act of a friend, but in such a a that he will
remain a friend o the condemned. He is a fearless fighter and a fair
fighter, as h e a " known to strike below the belt.
Senator Warrens nomination is demanded a. a question of PARTY
lexpediency. If he were to announce tomorrow that he would not under
any circumstances be a candidate there would be a dozen men from all
sections If the state clamorng for the nomination to succeed him, there
would be so nan sore spots to heal that it is doubtful if he could be
elected. This is nc idle talk. 1t is not only what might be expected
but what would really happen.
ut is not a question of Senator Warren wanting the nomination or
needing the office. 1t is a question of the party and the people needing
to retain him in his present position of usefulness. To fail to nominate
and elect him would not be n great disappointment to Senator Warren
but it would be a calamity to the people Of the state of wyoming. He
has unselfshly given the best years of his life. in the service of his state.
Let Is show u appreciation of this devotion 10 our interest by renomin-
atng and elecung him."
