If elected governor, I pledze myself to carry out each and very request that may be made by the Pfresident or his assistants. Turing the war a government is indispensable, but after the war we should see that no state is deprived of the rights contemplated under the Constitution of the United States. “To insure the fullest co-operation | of the state with the federal govern- ment in the conduet of the war we should have a thoroughly active and competent state counsel of National Defense, with a rantee of setate funds if necessary to do effective work. “Many men who now represent Wycming in the battle for civiliza- tion will return either partially totally disabled and in spite of the surancc provilled by the federal gov- ernment the state will-be called upon for assistance and we must be in a position to respond. Improvements should be made in the State Soldier's | Home so that those who are disabled Hag be decently and properly cared or. At the vlose of the war many men now ir the service will locate in the| western states and Wyoming may ex-| pect her share of these soldiers.

Finally he followed the example of his bunkie and accepted the job. “If anybody’d offered me money to sweep out a house over in the States, I'd have turned up my nose,” he told his friend. “You see I own a couple of factories over there, and got a pretty good fortune beside that.
