THURSDAY; OCTOBER 32,1918 WYOMING AND THE NATION NEED THESE MEN ‘ WARREN FOR THE SENATE, MONDELL FOR THE HOUSE AND CAREY FOR GOV- ERNOR OF WYOMING, REPRESENT THE HIGHEST IDEAL OF PUBLIC SERVICE, AND THEIR ENDORSEMENT BY THE PEOPLE AT THE POLLS NEXT TUESDAY WILL MEAN THE CONTINUANCE OF OUR PRESENT REPRESENTATION AT WASH- INGTON, AND AN EFFICIENT HEAD OF STATE GOVERNMENT AT CHEYENNE. FOR U. S. SENATOR Francis E. Warren, fifth territorial governor of Wyoming, was born at Hinsdale, Mass., June 20, 1844. His ancestor, Dr. Joseph Warren, was one of the first men in the * American colonies to advocate independence. At the beginning of the Revolutionary war he was commissioned general, and was in command of the colonial forces at the battle of Bunker Hill, where he fell fighting for the liberty of his countrymen. Senator Warren was educated in the common schools at Hinsdale, Mass. In 1861 he left school to enlist as a private in Company C. 49th Massachusetts Infantry. His regiment wa ssent to the department of the Gulf and while at New Orleans he was promoted to corporal. At the siege of Port Hudson he won a medal of honor for gallant conduct in action. In the spring of 1868 he came to Iowa as foreman of a construction gang. From Iowa he came to Cheyenne, where he engaged in mer- chandising. In 1872 he was one of the trustees of Cheyenne and during the same year he was elected a member of the territorial legislature. He served as president. of the council in the Legislative Assen-bly and was trasurer of the territory for about six years. In 1885 he was elected mayor of Cheyenne and in February of that year was appointed governor of the territory of Wyoming by President Arthur. He was renioved by President Cleveland in the fall of 1886, but wus again appointed governor by President Harrison in March, 1899. When Wyoming was admitted as a state in 1890 Governor Warren was elected the first governor of the new state, but served as such only two, weeks, when he was elected as one of the first United States senators from Wyoming. His term expired in 1893 and the legislature of that year failed fo elect a senator, so that the state had but one senator in congress. In 1895 Mr. Warren was again elected senator and has served continuously in the United States senate since that time. F . ROBERT D. CAREY for Governor Mr. Carey is a native son of Wyoming, whose reputation as a progressive business man and as a patriotic citizen, who has given much of his time and money. to war work, needs no embellishment here. In the development of Wyoming after the war, in the great work of reconstruction, we need a real business man in the governor's office, and a man who understands the needs of this great state, and withal a man who will administer our affairs for the benefit of the people and the great industries._ Tf Mr. Carey is elected Governor there will be no shady transactions such as have characterized the Houx administra- tion. There will be no backing and filling, reversed decisions, decisions based on political expediency, but a straightforward business administration, and a record in office of which we all may be. proud. A vote for Robert D. Carey is a vote for a greater Wyo- ming. A vote for Robert D. Carey is a vote for a progressive business man who will give the people a progressive business administration, and who is qualified to represent all the people of this state regardless of their political faith. ; F. W. MONDELL for Congress For almost a quarter of a century Mr. Mondell has rep-* resented the people of Wyoming in the lower house of Con- gress, and there are few citizens of the state who cannot enumerate some act of his which has been of inestimable value to them. Mr. Mondell is always on the job. No let- ter to him goes unanswered, and every request from his most humble constituent receives prompt attention. The only charge made against Mondell by his Democratic oppo- nents is (and it's always whispered) is that he did not sup- port the Selective Service Act, which the Congressional Rec- ord disproves, as he did vote for the act. Mr. Mondell, like many others, the majority of them Democrats, was in favor of a volunteer clause in connection with the conscription which permitted volunteers to tender their services to their country first. This was, however, eliminated by a majority vote not following party lines, and the bill passed without it, which Mr. Mondell supported. Mr. Mondell’s experience in the national legislature for over 20 years should qualify him particularly for the position to which he aspires at this time. On the other hand, who do we find as his opponent? Hayden M. White of Buffalo, who has characterized him- self in his own paper as a “blatherskite”” along with various other titles of the same class, and the Republicans are willing to accept his classification. Election Tuesday, Nov. 5th ONLY FOUR MORE DAYS . \
