Kendrick of Wyoming is not classed with those who are seeking to curtail the indus- try in Wyoming at its very inception. Senator Kendrick has even antage- nized the administration forces to secure Wyoming her dues and united with Republican representatives in congress in trying to force recogni- tion of the just claims of the oil operators in the passage of & leasing bill. Not only are the operators inter- ested, but hundreds of thousands of stockholders thruout the West are vitally affected by the procrastina- tion which seems rooted in the navy department and other influential sources at Washington. Much valu- able time was wasted in the consider- ation of the bill and an agreement looking to an adjustment of differ- ences was arrived at, yet efforts to enact the measure have béen 'success- ively blocked and delayed until it looks as tho many development pro- grams in this state will be killed in their inception. { ‘ Winning the war is parameunt with Repuolic:1s and Demociat: alike and the government will not lay itself open to censure by ignoring those c s which do not have a direct bearing on the one great fore the American people, administration can expect fit r no sympathy from Wyoming attend- ing the ery of a shortage of oi! un- less action is taken to release poten- tial production which only awaits as- surance that the operators will re- ceive the protection which the risk deserves, - DRAFT AGES. c It looks drastic, at first blush, to propose lowering the draft age to 13 years and raising it to 45, making every male American within those limits liable to military service. It is not so drastic as it seems, however, The statutory military age period is now from 18 to 44. Every man is already under obligation to serve in his state militia~-and hence in the national defense—during that period if called upon. Congress mere- ly proposes to apply the general ‘prin- ciple to the selective service act. ‘In theory, then, all the able-bodied men from 18 to 45 might be called into the army. In practice they will not be during this war nor, we may assume, in any other way. So big 2 on does not need to use its whole population to fight its battles, Boys under 21 may be taken for army, and probably will be if rity is given, because ‘they are considered by most experts as the finest kind of fighting material. We shall hardly go as low as 18, but the 19 and 20-year-old classes may be called. It is doubtful, though. tho, whether men over 30 will be drafted, except in rare cases, and cer- tain that men over 40 will not be. Men jn their forties are poor military material. “Men initheir thirties are in general, far inferior to younger) fellows. The youth fights better, and | can better be spared by his family| and community. | The extension of*the draft age will | accomplish two important purposes. First. it will make the selective serv- ice law more flexible, by adding a few classes from which men may} profitably be taken if needed; and) second, it will enable the government | to*organize the man-power of the na-| tion,for war yurposes. | The latter consideration is probab- ly the more important of the two. Far| more men nre needed at home than! are needed in the army. If the War! Department is given authority overy| everybody, from 18 to 45, it can class- ify them wiceordingly to their quali-| fications, and|see that every man is occupied with work suited to his ca- pacity and useful directly or indirect- | ly for the winning of the war.

" GEORGE W. FERGUSON, Candidate for the Republican nomi- nation for County and Prosecut- ing Attorney. Win the war first, a settlement without compromise, a dry Wyoming and a dry Nation, development along all lines, good roads, and a square deal for every, man, woman and child in the State. To the Republican Voters of Wyoming Wyoming will vote dry this fall by a large majority. There is no doubt about that. But the peeple of Wyoming will not be satisfied by the MERE ENACTMENT of a dry law. They will DEMAND the election of a Governor who is beyond all question in ENTIRE sympathy with s aw, and one whose adminis- tration will not WINK at its violation. ‘ Republicans of Wyoming are VITALLY concerned, therefore, with the KIND of a man selected at the coming primary as the arty’s candidate for Governor. The success of the ENTIRE ICKET hangs on this primary result. We cannot hope to win in the election this fall if we head our ticket with a man OPENLY FAVORED by and whose candidacy is reputed to be financed and managed by the BREWERY and LIQUOR INTERESTS. § \ Neither can we hope to win with a candidate who, while de- claring ‘in favor of a dry law, is known to have a VULNERABLE PERSONAL,.RECORD ‘on the wet and dry question. The nomi- ion of such a candidate would place the Republicans on the NSIVE from the start and greatly weaken the entire ticket. ™. We can only hope to win, therefore, with a didate whose RECORD and HABITS, both public and priv: are absolutely ABOVE SUSPICION on thisequestion; whose CLEAN personality and UNOU TIONED integrity and sincerity will make the WIDEST appeal to those who favor a dry Wyoming. Johnson county’s candidate for Governor on the’ Republican ticket, Hon. L, R. A. Condit, FULLY measures up to the required standard. He is not dry from POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY; he believes in it and-always has. His candidacy will completely DIS- ARM the Democrats and make worthless the DAMAGING AFFI- DAVITS covering personal indiscretions collected for publica- tion in case someone other than Condit should be nominated. Condit is not the candidate of STION; he will have no political debts to pay, yo grudges to even up, no incurred or inherited prejudices to ndicap him, no invisible regency behind himeto dictate his policy « : Condit will BE ogesibe if elected. He has made ‘S inthe ranching and live stock business; he is therefore familiar with and in sympathy with the state’s two greatest industries; he is a man of matitre~ judgment and discretion, and will give the state a business-like administration. ABOVE SUSPICION on the dry question, SUCCESSFUL as a ranchman and stockmun; no factional claims to embarrass him, no private political obligations to repay, no old grudges to even up, no inherited prejudices to hamper, no Vehind-thecurtain re- gency to dictate; of PROVEN abliity and integrity and ALWAYS a loyal Republi , the nomination of Condit at the primaries August 20th will STRENGTHEN the ENTIRE state ticket and INSURE Republican success at the polls in November.
