This was the highest vote given any candidate This vote stands out in strong con- trast with the contention made by Mondell’s enemies that he was a weak candidate in 1916. ———9 In 1916 Frank Mondell ran approx. imately 7,000 votes ahead of Mr Hughes, the Republican presidential} candidate. Viewed from any stand point this was little less than mirac- ulous. The strength of the presi- dent in “keeping us out of war” ac- counted for the large vote against Mr. Hughes and it is a wonder that the swing did not take every Demo. crat into office. o- — In his primary campaign Mr Sproul of Casper, Democrat, found that “the city and county records of Denver show that Mr. Osborne har been a resident of that city and that he engaged in business in Denver from 1906 to 1917. According to the city directory he maintained e residence at 1221 Sherman street from 1910 to and including 1913 | About that time he was appointed tec a position in Washington and served in that capacity until 1916.” 0. The Douglas Enterprise says that “the election of Robert D. Carey as governor will give a business admin- istration to the State. Everybody will get a square deal and a just and equal chance. He plays no favor ites. His success in the ranch and stock business shows what he will dc in state administration matters. 0. The nomination of Mr. A. D. Hos- kins for the position of State Treas- urer gives to southwestern Wyom- ing its only candidate on either State ticket. He is an old-timer in the state and has been an active fac- tor in business affairs for a great many years, Aas! A Bch The Cheyenne Leader says that J. E.

If that is true, it is vrecisely as it should be. How else hould a man look and act, when he has been the principal. figure in the nost stupendous crime in all history, ind when at last Eternal Justice is beginning to overtake him, his fel- ‘ow-conspirators and the nation that has lent itself to their evil par- poses? The Kaiser even deserves a sort of ‘redit for breaking under the strain, f he is really doing so. It shows that he has some slight vestiges of conscience left, and is human after all, With this slight reservation, how- ee | Today’s Birthdays ———-O Most Rev.

It! will be remembered that Bryan re- signed because he thought the ad- ministration was too severe on Kai- ser Bill’s program. Osborne was nothing but a ruber stamp at Wash- ington, and resigned some time later. 0. ‘ In the midst of the primary cam- paign Mr. Sproul, Democrat, of Casper, propounded this query to Dr. Osborne, “If Mr. Osborne will give) his unqualified support to the admin- istration, why is it that he saw fit to, fesign during a national crisis from an important position in the govern- ent offices?” ee ae It was good old Lincoln doctrine not to swap horses in the middle of the stream.
