And] the only records which stand out above all others in Osborne’s, po- litical history are that he deserted} the “Shiz of Siaic”’ at a critical] time in the nation’s history,, and | that Wyoming wasn’t good enough to live in, but was good enoygh to} as worthy of further confidence and support.”” And on this is based a plea for the re-election of Act- ing Governor Frank L. Houx. Without vindictive criticism or intention to rob Wyoming’s acting chief of those virtues which his po- litical constituents so highly com- mend, the” prelude to this article might also be adopted as a gauge! for activities other than questions of loyalty and the extent of Wyo- ming’s success in war activities, all of which the writer would place |P to the credit of Acting Governor |! ¢ ing the primary campaign, Houx instead of at the door of the people and individual organizer thruout the State, where it prop-! erly belongs. - Conceding that Governor Houx has done all in his power to help win the war, notwithstanding the} fact that any other attitude mani- fested by the State's executive} would be labeied as base trea ery, his political friends would do well to clear up a few points in which the voters will be interested before placing their stamp of ap- proval on the. recent administra- tion. Why was it that Governor Houx, after calling down threats on race- track promoters at Cheyenne, ting that he first said would be a stain on the fair name of Wyom- ing. He declared that he would do all in his power to end such gambling, that it should not be in- dulged in at the 20-day race meet, yet after receiving a deputation of race promoters, who saw in the gambling the only feature that would appeal to the great mass of | attendants, he promptly backfired. Did Governor Houx have the cour-~ age of his convictions? Or was it political expediency that influenced him to passive endorsement of gambling? The Wheatland hatchet is also buried, but does it interest the public to know that the Governor stood up strongly for the man who later admitted his own shortcom- _ings and the right of a loyal public to criticize him? Wyoming's reputation for 100 per cent pure Americanism is not jeopardized by the threatened de- ™ feat of Governor Houx, and if he is repudiated it will be because} conscientious citizens of the State believe that he lacks executive} ability. Colorado’s governor, a Democrat of sterling character and unquestioned loyalty, was recently turned down by the Democrats of | that state because of a vacillating policy in administrative affairs, which closely parallels the record of Governor Houx. And so it may be with the latter. The Republican party of Wyom- ing has brot forward the best man, in its estimation, that can be pro- duced, and the fact that the Dem-| ecratic partisan press of the State! has found no grounds on which to aitack him is the best recommen-|two of Wyoming’s brightest and | dation that he could have. Rob- ert D. Carey justly deserves every! Republican vote in Wyoming, and it is safe to assume that he will be first, last and always, and do all in} endorsed by a great many Demo- crats. In his election the Repub-| licans hope to perpetuate patriotic eyes in this election—Warren and} labors in full efficiency, and at the! same time prevent mistakes that! have given tise to criticism of lack) of executive ability on the part of the present Acting Governor.

Still, the World argues, as a class they are benefited by unde- served exemptions, while most of those who are properly liable to the income tax sueceed in evading it. This, too, on top of the fact that the farmers have been specially favored by having liberal prices gderanteed for their products. Perhaps this is a bit unjust to the farmers. They have certainly played their part admirably in producing the food the country required, and no- body need grudge them the incidental profits they have made.
