It of no consequence to the people of Wyoming wheth- er the one has a million dollars and the other only six bits. As we understand the matter, we are nct selling our senntorship at auction, and the poss- ession of money to make good any bid offered is not the game at all. The thing of first importance is qualification and fitness for the office, and ability to render the best service to the people represented. In the. first place John Kendrick has spent a lifetime devoted to his own interests, save and except the six years he has served as United States senator from this state. In that time he divided his is) | efforts between his own business and the people's | business. During four of the years he served in the seuate the country was in the hands of Senator Kendrick’s own party. There is nothing to show in the record of those years that the senator is the father of any valuable legislation, constructive or otherwise. he record, it is true, exhibits several | attempts, but nothing really accomplished. And newspaper headlines and campaign claims cannot alter the facts. On the other hand Frank Mondell has spent a lifetime in the exclusive service of the people of Wyoming. He had no other business to engage any portion of his time. There is a long list of land, irrigation and other laws of direct value to Wyo- ming, aside from the general laws for the coun- try’s benefit to his credit as a legislator. All of which are so well-known to the people of the state and the nation as to need no further mention. It+is not the intention to belittle or magnify either candidate’s work on behalf of the peop’ Those records are already written history and can- not be changed at this or any other time. Mr. Mondell’s record shows twenty-five years of service and a longer list of actually accomplished acts of beneficial character than any member who ever served in the lower house. No doubt Sena- tor Kendrick did the best he could, but his senator- ial record discloses nothing that could not hare been accomplished by thousands of other Wyoming! men. The prospects for the future and the opportu-| nity ahead for each candidate is a matter for the consideration of the voters next month. The na- tional administration is wholly Republican, both in the legislative and executive branches. The pros- pects are that it will remain so for a number et years. Mr. Mondell is a part of the Republican party, high in its councils and close to the execu- tive. Senator Kendrick is a Democrat, his part: went out of power discredited in 1921. Holding hi views, and being devoted to Democratic policies which have just been buried under an unfavorable majority of seven million votes, it is not in the nature of things, even if he were elected senator. that he could be of the slightest value to Wyoming or to the nation as a member of a minority party and that party under a cloud and in disfavor with the people. There has been no time in the country’s history that called louder for action than the present. Wro ming wants and needs a senator who can and will get action. One who is in full sympathy and accord with the Powers that now govern and’ will govern for man) Years to come. Wyoming cannot afford to tie up toa representative who will be helpless, as a mem: ber’ of the minority party and wholly out of line| with the administration. Senator Kendrick as a/ member of the senate for the next six years would| be in the same situgtion as the bound boy at the} husking bee. ——_——o—____ The Tribune’s Style Show 2.state in his campaign for the governorship. 4 awh \After that we began to wobble, until, after sixteen jfor the last twelve months.

A Fi ak Bat Tariff Means Prosperity IS NO.USE theorizing about the prob ble effects of tariff, when we can look back | over our one hundred and thirty-three years of his-| tory and see exactly how it works. | Protective tariff is known abroad as <he “Amer-| ican plan.” It has built us up from a puny nation to the richest on earth, and every important coun try,taking note, has now adopted a tariff plan of} its own. We had a strong protective tariff until 1836. Pinedale, Kemmerer, Rawlins # people have flocked to his m years of rio protective tariff, from 1845 to 1861, we had very dark times of panic and depression.

This prosperity was interrupted from 1892 189% by a period of free t during which we had one of the most. severe panics in our history. There were 57,000 business fal'ures during these years and hundreds of thousané» of business men were unable to pay their interest and taxes. Men were walking the strets in idleness.

As was to be expected, business rapidly dpclined. {factories closed, and laborers were out of work. The war come along just in time to save us from the worst effects of low tariff. It gave us a map ket for all we could produce, supplying the de- mands of Europe. After the armistice was signed, however, Europe began shipping her cheaply made goods over here in immense quantities. They filled our markets and drove out American produc Since their foreign goods were shipped in duty free our merchants could buy them for less than we could buy them for, and so they would not buy American wares and our products had no sale. This meant idleness, and the panic was upon us again. Into this financial depression entered President Harding and Republicanisni. An emergency tariff Was passed at the earliest moment, Almost by magic it turned the tide. In a few short months the panic which was under way was dispeiled, and business was started on the upward trend.

At this time the senator says: “The responsibility of the Republican party for the great industrial depression we have suffered! is thoroughly well established and must be acceded | by every man with an open and a just mind who loves the truth first and party success second.” On November 16, 1920, long before the Republi- can party had come into control of the national ad- ministration Senator Owen addressed @% letter to M.
