More than a year ago The Tribune began to call public attention to the moral condi- tions in Casper. They had begun to show so perniciously at that time to be a menace to the good order of the city. As a matter of course, the city administration being re- sponsible to the people for law enforcement in suppression of vice, naturally came in for considerable criticism. It was in no sense personal nor was it unkind in intent to any- one connected with the city government. The city authorities either made no effort or at least made no headway in curbing the vice that was apparent to everybody. Time went on, vice continued to flourish and The Trib- une became more and more insistent. The Tribune’s purpose was to arouse the citizens to a sense of the dangers of the reign of license. In this it is believed we were suc- cessful. The people are aroused and we be~ lieve are in a humor to insist upon a com- plete change for better things. The city campaign opened and the un- healthy moral conditions became an issue. Candidates for the offices of mayor and councilmen began to appear and interested | friends began to canvass the situation for sup- port. The Tribune w pproached by both Mr. Veitch and Mr. Gibiin. They were re- ceived courteously bui no promise of support was given to either one. Mr. Veitch was re- garded as unavailable and we were in pos- session of the Giblin record which together) with his lack of qualifications made him} equally undesirable as the chief executive of | a city of twenty thousand population with a property value of twenty-five million. Our judgment was that neither of these gentlemen Nn eee | Walter A. Blackmore for Mayor law-abiding and decent citizens, that must be eliminated. te In the things pertaining to Giblin, they been laid before the people forthe peo- ple’s information. The people make the choice for mayor, and it is the newspaper's duty to inform them in «li matters relating thereto. In connection therewith it is stated that in whatever has been published care was taken that it be the exact fact and the truth is pleaded in justification. It is noted that no adequate denials nor even sufficient explanations have come from Mr. Giblin with reference to the serious mat- ters presented ayainst his candidacy. At- tempted refutation with assaults upon and captious criticism of others is not regarded as disproving charges of misconduct. The peo- ple readily sec through such flimsy subter- fuges. The relative merits of the several candi- _dates for mayor, their particular qualifica- tions for the duties of the office, their integ- rity, their fitness by business training, their $3 | record as citizens and good repute accorded 196 | by their neighbors, these things are the im- portant matters to the people. The city has suffered quite enough from inefficiency in the past. Further experimentation is only plung- ing the city deeper into the same old slough of despond. Divest the whole situation of all but the essential object—the best man for mayor. We are sure the people can agree this is, after all, the only thing to be considered. The ambition and the importance of any par- | ticular man is subordinate to this realization. ‘ee HE CAN’T EXPLAIN. The shepherd of the flock is welcome to all] the nourishment he can get out of roas' ing The Tribune. But the fact remains he no defense to offer in his own behalf for his actions in the Shove case. He failed utterly to tell the people what became of the pro- ceeds of the $300 note the Shoves delivered him and he also failed to make any explana- tion of his reasons for claimi: thing wrong with the Bliss check transaction: Until he comes clean and absolves himself from the charge of double dealing, double- crossing and prevarication he still under the same old cloud and The Tribune’s state- ments are verified and vindicated. PANIES Whether the liquor was for medicinal pur- poses or not, Giblin had no business breaking | the state and federal law to obtain it. | a | Our good friend and admirer, John J. Gib- | lin, has omitted one of the menaces to Cas- per. He claims only three, prostitution, boot- legging end The Tribune. Would not Giblin make a good fourth? —_——— Quite right, old sportsman. You must em- ploy the type of artillery best suited to the purpose. For instance, squirt guns when you are hunting squirts, big Berthas when the target justifies. Sa EA Se From the report of the meeting it is assumed that those present all had a hot time, for it is shot through the air like bolts of fire.” Wow! Spitting fire,eh? Why not work in something about the cloven hoof, forked tail, horns and the rest of the properties that go with the picture? \ EN ee was big enough for the work before him. | The Tribune continued to place before the people the importance of securing a person more nearly answering the city’s require- ments. Mr. Blackmore was put forward and| he was not only welcomed by his many; friends and acquaintances throughout the city but The Tribune believed and frankly said at the time that he fulfilled every re- quirement any reasonable citizen could de- mand. The Tribune had no other thought in mind than to secure a candidate for mayor who could and would place Casper in her rightful Position of moral decency with a clean, able and fearless city government. If it has been necessary to give publicity to a lot of unsavory matters concerning existing conditions The Tribune did it with reluctance, out of necessity and not from choice. And in the conduct of the campaign: Whatever stood in the way of a cleaner and better Casper, which is the ambition of all Se y Tut, tut! Whiskey-soaked brains? Giblin is the only person so far in the campaign con- sipree of having any of this ancient joy wa- er. —_o—_____ Will Mr. Giblin deny that he had full knowledge of the return of the Bliss check and gave approval to the purpose for which it was to be used? ——__—_o—____ Did Giblin sign the Bliss check or did Shove sign it? And if Shove signed it and changed the name of the payee from Bliss to Parrish and identified Parrish at the bank and Parrish got the full benefit of the check, can Shove be guilty of either forgery or em- bezzlement? Mrs. J. A. Wilson is of the opinion that the Tribune’s object is the eléction of Mr. Veitch, We are quite sure Mr. Veitch holds no such belief and equally sure Mr. Blackmore does not agree with any such Propo: n. ltor today Lee but | Y Thomas Woolwine announced) For return of one rot po: Seay 7 j of One roach mune pony.

Blackmore first saw the Ught of day in 1862. In the loca) dis- trict schools and the city schools at Flint he laid the foundations of his learning supplemented demic training and a pharmaceutical course qualifying as a druggist. Armed with a recommendation as an honest lad and a competent druggist young Blackmore journeyed west to Ogallaln, Nebraska, in 1885, Here he remained three years, coming _ to Bessemer, Wyoming, in 1888, before Cagper was on the map, At Besse- mer he established a drug store and sold other supplies to the ranchers and stockmen. In 1893 Casper had it was evident that it would some- time become a- village “or “trading point so Mr. Blackmore packed up and came to Casper. He remained in business a year when he sold out and the next. yéar 1895 acquired what is known as the Hat Six h which he still owns. He engaged in ranch- ing, and livestock growing until 1902 when he mova into Casper on ac- count of the fllness of Mrs, Black- more. In this year he built a hon on Beech street. In 1908 he est Ushed a meat market to answer needs of the expanding village. remainéd in this business a little over a year. In 1904 he built the Lerner building on South Cenier street. Built the Blue Front in 1905. These were two ventures ahead of the times and of which his friends had doubt. In 1914 Mr. Blackmore built the Ideal apartments and in 1920 the Blackmore apartments. This, in brief, is a chronicle of the principal events in the life of Wal- ter A. Blackmore. Of the character of the man too much cannot be said. He is “known far and wide and throughout his long residence in this community no one can put his finger on & questionable act. His honesty is a household word. His reputation bears no blemish of shame, Those who have known Mr. Blackmore long est and best esteem him highest. He is just a plain American gentleman, of splendid business equipment, sound judgment, with a high sense of hon- or. Is not afraid to be right and not afrafd to maintain it under any and all circumstances. As mayor of the city of Casper he will give to that office a business standing it has never enjoyed. ~The people will know something about thelr affairs and uncertainty and un-|* easiness as to the future will vanish. ae AY EE TE NOTICE.
