RAILROAD PARTY RECEIVES WELCOME TO CIT CHANCE OFFERED BY TRIBUNE MAY NEVER BE REPEATED HERE: y’ FIRST COUNT IS DUE MORDAY Many Sections Not Tribune’s Big Election Represented in the Candidates Not All Producing, Is Report Monday in this paper the few names of those nominated thus far in the Tribune’s $16,000 Gift Distribution will be published. Nominations should be made by 9:00 o'clock to- night, however, to get in the list. With just a few short weeks until the Casper Tribune's $16,000 “Everybody Wins Something” automobile election comes to an official end, many sec- tiong of the city and country are still without representatives in this gigan- tic gift-giving event. Certainly the condition which exists today cannot be because the prizes are not worth setting. Prizes Await You ‘These cars, and the thousands of dollars in gold and silver, will be given away without one cent of cost regardless of the success of the en- terprises, to those who are nominat- ed. In Monday's Tribune the short lst of those who have been nominated ‘will be printed. There is yet time for you to get in, but your nomination should reach the Tribune: office not later than 9:30 o'clock tonight, All those who have entered should report with subscriptions Saturday. If you want your friends to help you show ly your vote count you mean business, wing the prize list, and the fact that those active, candidates who do not win-one of the big cars or cash prizes are paid 20 per cent cash com- miasion on every! dollar in subscrip- tion they turn in, there should be many more candidates entered today. ‘The response has been pitiful. Every Prize Awarded The big automobiles. and all the thousands of dollars in gold and in silver are going to be given away just as announced. The Casper Daily Tri- bune never will back down on & prop- osition or a promise. But it would seem that more people, who are just as live as other people in other com- munities, just as wide awake, certain. ly just as intelligent, would realize the opportunity for profit before it is too late, What is the matter? “It's the times,” says on man. No it 1s not the times. Conditions are as they are and they are the same for everyone, The $16,000 in cars and cash wil! positively be given away, It makes no difference what the times are. The “times” do not win for you. Votes and votes alone win for you. The only thing you haye to do to win the very biggest prize in the entire list {s to have the most votes. The only thing you have to do to win a car is to lead your district. The only «thing you have to do to be in the capital prizes class is to be among the upper sixteen. And every active can- didate who doesn’t win a car or one of the big cash prizes is guaranteed 20 per cent cash commission on every dollar in subscriptions he or she turna in, No, It's Not the Times Here it is in a nut-shell: ‘If “times” ere slow, then the total vote will probeb'y be less. You win just the same. It can’t be the times. What is {t then? Apparently there are lot of folks! Jost steeping. They have been sym- pathizing with themselves so long that they can’t hear opportunity when it knocks at their door. Oppor- tunity is here—the few names ‘that have been entered will soon be pub- lished and the distribution of prizes ‘will be made and this mammoth event will rapidly pass into history.

That was the plea made to tho legislature this morning by Governor W. B. Ross, Democrat. Appearing before a joint session of the two houses, the chief execu- tive said there is now pending @ “feeble bill” to report on taxation matters at some future time, and that this measure is designed “to lull to sleep public sentiment in favar of the enactment of a severance tat law.” While at the beginning of tho Present session, he said, there wag every prospect that such a law would be enacted, this prospect has been dimmed by the fact that the mem- bers of the legislature had been sub: Jected “to the most insistent and pers sistent pressure from the most pow: erful coal and ofl lobby that ever assembled in the state capital.” ‘These lobbyists, he asserted, “represent chiefly non-resident —_ corporations that have fattened and grown rich and powerful on Wyoming products, and which are day by day depleting the resources of our state—resources which are our main assets, the chief dependents of ourselves and the gen+ erations yet to come.” “I appeal to you," he sald, “to defy this lobby.’ Intimating that the Republican ma- jority had decided to kill the proposed mining law tax, he asserted: "If it be true that any political party has caucused against this measure, then I say to you in perfect confidence that any decision to kill this legis- lation by any party caucus could not Possibly be ratified by the voters of that party.’ He plainly hinted that the bill fathered by W. J. Daltony Democrat, was constitutional, but that one of its two rivals, sponsored by Republicans, would be, if passed, thrown out by the courts. “A erisia hag been reached,” he concluded; “thé people's cause is imperiled.” The address created a sensation: Majority members of the house revs enue committee, which has been con sidering the three proposals, tmme- usually performs this ceremony, was| ately got busy with a reply. ill and Bonner was deputized, LIQUOR PROBE jovernor Ross was introduced by President Simon Skovgard of the senate and was applauded both at the beginning and the finish of his tal. | The Jo'nt session thereupon adjourn ed without further word or action. | CHARGED TO G. 0.
