The response was made by Arthur K. Lee of Ther- mopolis. State Chairman Spencer tn a brief address preceding organization of the convention struck a popular note with the delegates when he ex- pressed hope that the present “extreme” primary law as it func- tions in Wyoming “will run its course” and the o!d convention sys- vem of choosing candidates restcred. The speaker also stressed the im- portance of harmony within the party, of a broad-minded view of public affairs and rerpect for the , opinions of all .The young men and women workers of the party came in for high tribute. Constructive work, he declared, Hes ahead and all members of the party should put their shoulders to the wheel in maintaining the record of the Re- publican party. John 8.

One hundred and seventy-seven delegates are represented in person or by proxy and nine delegates and nine alternates are to be elected to the national convention. The unit rule will prevail in all voting by county delegations under an agree- ment-to eliminate as much confus- fon as possible in conducting the convention, The credentials committee, con- sisting of ono delegate from each county, and the resolutions com- mittee went into conference with the adjournment of the morning session and will report when the session is resumed at 3 o'clock, Announcement was also made that Republican women will meet at 1:30 this afternoon under the leadership of Mrs. B. B. Brooks of Casper. 3 The afternoon session will include e@ddresses by former Congressman Frank W. Mondell, now a director of the War Finance corporation, and J. Adam Bede, former congress man from Minnesota. Endorsement of a plank urging conservation of Wyoming water for irrigation projects within the state will be one cf the planks in the state platform for which the Na- trona county delegation wil! work. In caucus meeting last night in the Hotel Noble the Natrona dele- gation of 24 members, the largest in the state, adopted the unit rule to govern all questions in debate. This action eliminates any possibility of deadlock and will expedite decisicn as the majority vote will prevail and the vote of the 24 will be cast by A. E. BStirrett, county chairman. Adoption of the rule was held nec- essary on account of the size of the delegation. LANDER GREAT W OME. Delegates and visitors who poured into the city over the week-end were extended the “glad tmnd” in no uncertain manner by the citizen- ship cf Lander, They found the city decorated in thelr honor and every courtesy possible was shown. As the special train of Pullman cars provided by the Chicago and Northwestern an¢ bearing the dele- gations from central, routhern and northern Wyoming pulled into the staticn here late yesterday, the Lander band b'ared its welcome and @ great crowd of people backed {t up. A procession was formed that moved up the main street to the Noble hotel where headquarters were established. Until late in the night the hote! lobby was swarming with activity and much political medicine is said to have been brewed.

This resolution received hearty support and is expected to be adopted unanimously. United States Senator John B. Kendrick, “favorite son” of Wyoming Demo- crats, was prominently men- tioned for endorsement for the presidential nomination when representatives of the party met here this morning in state con- vention to elect delegates to the na- tional convention at New York City. Party leaders, however, remained unshaken in their conviction that the delegates would be uninstructed. Interest, aside from the naming ef these delegates and the adoption of a platform, was focused on the Possible endorsement of a candidate for United States senator, L. EB. Laird, Byron S. Huie, Judge Robt. R. Rose and Jos. C./ O'Mahoney were mentioned. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the committee appointed to nominate up to an arraignment of Republican administration. “The man who are framing its policies have no sympa- thy with popular government. Thoy frankly espouse the theories and do- ctrines of those leaders who have always distrusted the people. From 1908 to 1912, the rank and file of the Republican party made a sincere effort to restore that organization an instrumentality of popular govern- ment. They repudiated the Tafts, the Cannons and the Alderiches, but thelr success was only temporary, triumvirate, Coolidge, Lodge and Gil- lette, the Republican leadership speaks only for those who believe there is nothing wrong in using the people's government for the benefit of the few. “Within the past month, The Na- tional Republican, edited by George Lockwood, secretary of the Repub- ican National Committee, and owned in part by John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts, Republican ‘Secre- tary of War, publicly and vigorous- ly invited all progressives to leave the Republican party because, as it frankly says, that party does not represent them. Farmers who complain of the special privileges extended by the present administra- tion to concentrated capital, and labor which suffers from the same cause are thus pfficially told that there is no place for them in the Republican ranks. With this plain statement of the case by Republl- can authority, there can be no long- delegates to the New York City con- vention had not reported. D.*P. B. Marshall of Sheridan was presiding as permanent chairman and several had addressed the gathering. Coming to Casper from ull parts of Wyoming, 156 Democratic dele- gates and alternates gathered this morning, county by county, in the Elks auditorium and ‘opened the state Democratic convention, There was a general spirit of good cheer, Promoted by the meeting again in a body of old-time friends of the same political faith. _ Besides the official representatives er any doubt—the Republican party is the party of reaction; the Demo- cratic party is the party of progress. “To those believers in popular government who have hitherto called themselves Republicans and who are now formally driven from the Re- publican fold, the Democratic party extends its arms in welcome. It they hope to restore the government to the people they have no choice but to come with us, for the record of the past twelve years conclusively demonstrates that the Democratic party is the party of failure. “In all the glorious history of our of the counties, there were large numbers of visitors who made the day one of celebration. An hour before the cailing of the convention, the Natrona county group of 24 delegates met in caucus in the dining hall of the Townsend hotel, there electing P. J. O'Connor chairman and Calvin J. ‘Smith, sec- retary of the delegation. A custom- ary unit rule resolution was passed by which the chairman was in- structed to cast Natrona county's vote in the convention, Seizing the opportunity for forwarding Casper campaign for the Casper-Alcova irrigation project, Henry B. Perkins Introduced a resolution endorsing the project and demanding that all Democratic candidates fof office fully support it. This resolution passed unanimously. Invocation of the convention was delivered by the Rev. 8. J. Bower- man of the First Baptist church here. Welcoming the delegates to the country, no administration has risen to greater helghts than the Wilson ddministration. From the day the Constitution was ratified, ro admin- istration has sunk to lower depths than the present Republican admin- istration, We invite comparison. For six years the Democratic party under Wilson had full control of this government and for two years more the Democratic executive was under the scrutiny of a bitterly hos- tile Congress. ‘What Democratic member was driven in disgrace from public life during that period? But in less than three years a cabinet of jhe best minds has been torn asun- der, three of its members have been lashed from office with public scorn as corrupt or blindly stupid. And this, be it remembered, in spite of the fact that the Republican party is in control of both houses of con- gress. Let no man charge that the investigations at Washington are the result of a Democratic desire to “play politics." Every single in- city, Mayor 8. K. Loy brought great response from the gathering when he sald: “Put men up for office who are statesmen first and politi- cians second.” Replying to the mayor's address, ate Senator Theodore Wanerus of Gillette aptly expressed the attitude of the convention when he declared it was “time to sweep the Repub- licans out of office.” Acting, as temporary ehairman, J. ©. O'Mahoney of Cheyenne, opened the meeting. By assent John E. Pickett of Cheyenne was made temporary secretary. O'Mahoney received a great ovation When he took the chair. The entire gathering rose in tribute to Wilsbn, loudly applauding, when the late ex-president’s name as prominent- ly featured in the chairman's k note address. To O'Mahoney was accorded acclamation that lasted fully five minutes at the conclusion of his speech. To serve on the credentials com- mittee, the chair appointed State vesting committee is headed by a Republican and has a Republican majority. The investigations have gone on and the humiliating revela- tons of corruption and inefficiency have been made because there are enough Republicans in Washington who love thelr country better than their party, to unite with the Demo- crats and compel the reluctant Coolidge to clean house, “Swearing that he would never consent to the dismissal of the in- compétent Denby, Coolidge consent- er. Swearing that he would never allow Daugherty to retire under fire Coolidge invited him to get out. Why does he say one thing and do an- other? Why does he ask the coun- try to believe that Denby and Daugh erty are poor, maligned innocents and in the same breath kick them out? Denby was right or he was wrong. Daugherty was right or he was wrong. If they were right, then Coolidge committed an unpard- onable sin of weakness and selfish- ness in letting them go. If they were wrong, then what excuse can he offer for his half-hearted, halting defense of them?

Every step that the Present Republican administration haw taken to punish the official wrong-doers has been taken unwil- lingly and only after its hand had been forced by an aroused and vigi- lant senate.

What was it that Daugherty could tell if he would that has spiked the Coolidge guns? Does aDugherty know of more scandals than those which have overwhelmed the Veter- ans Bureau, the Navy Department, the Interior Department, and the Department of Justice in their traf. ficking with grafters, with social in- terests, with bootleggers and dope- peddlers? “To defend themselves from this humillating record of infamy, the spokesmen of the Republican party are attempting again to revive the discredited slanders which they ut- tered in 1918 and in 1920 against the Wilson administration, To save themselves they would undermine all public confidence in government, they would have the people belleve that the coming election will only be a choice between two organized bands of thieves. A more unutter. ably base thrust the perpetuity of our institutions was never made. It it were true that Democratic office holders were as corrupt and ag in- efficient as the Republican office holders have proved themselves to be, then Indeed would the outlook of our country be black. But for- tunately the cold facts stand out to Prove that the Republican orators who resort to these tactics are scandal-mongers of the wotst type. The Republican party has had con- trol of congress since 1918. For four years it combed the Democratic record with investigation after in- vestigation. Fifty-one different com- mittees probed the Wilson record at one time. No stone was left unturn- ed to find some basis of a charge against Wilson or some Wilson Democrat. Wild charges of waste, incompetence and graft were made against the Democratic administra- tion, but tn spite of all the evil that was spoken, in spite of all the Presecuting genius of the Republican Department of Justice, not a single Democratic office holder stands pil- loried before the public. The Wilson administration came unscathed through the fire of investigations, Its record was clean, its record was noble. Its record was patriotic. The tomb of Wilson, white and pure, is beyond the reach of the soiled hands of the defenders of Fall and Forbés, of Denby and Daugherty, “And so it is that while dodging and evading the results of its own corrupt maladministration, the Coolidge cabinet, remnant of that once proud phalanx of the “best minds,” now goes before the coun: try with a tax bill that will shift the burden of the present excessive cost of government from the shoul- ders of those who can afford it to the backs of the masses already staggering under the weight of Re- publican proSperity. The Demo- cratic party will gladly meet the Republican adminiatration on this issue. Our memories are not 80 short that we fall to remember that the Republicans gained a majority of toth houses of congress in 1918, or that we have forgotten how for two years Wilson pleaded with the Republican congress to reduce the tax burden and was rebuffed on every occasion by the Republican leaders. A presidential election was coming on ond with the deliberate intention of preventing a Demo- cratic president from gaining credit for tax reduction, they absolutely refused to abate one jot or tittle of the war xes. President Wilson and Secretary Houston warned them that the result of failure to act would disrupt business and) bring disaster, but they paid no heed. Now they ask the country to accept a ‘ax plan written in the Interest of big business. But the president can not Induce "his own party to accept it. In both the house and the senate, the Republican majority had so little confidence in the presi- dent and his secretary of the treas- ury that it rejected the Mellon plan.

This reminder of the days when statesmen took their Mquor neat and prohibitioniste were. indigen- ous to Kansas and Maine is Phil Roche. He is only a doorkeeper now, but once he ran a saloon on Pennsylvania Avenue that ranked with the famous Shoomaker’s as a gathering; place for the great and near-great. A short walk to the centre of the Capitol will bring the Senator in contact with another courtly char- acter of the cocktail period. He is just a watchman now, but In the, “good old days" most everybody who came to Washington took a dram at Mack’s Wet Grocery, near the Treasury, and knew John Mc- Mahon, who ran it. There is a doleful atr about both of these former purveyers of buoyant spirits. It is in sharp contrast witth Gaelic disposition, but in keeping with the sad days that have come upon them. “Times are not what they used to be,” is the sorrowful plaint of both Phil and Mack. And they get plenty of sympathetic nods. Phil created a marvelous con- coction of liquors by a secret for- mula, which was christened by former Senator John Sharp Wil Mams of Mississippi “an X'—the algebraic terms for the unknown quantity. This soothing draught as a night-cap pleased the Senator 80 well that when prohibition cut off Phil's livelihood, Williams had him appointed a doorkeeper at the Senate. And when John Sharp decided that he would “rather be a yellow dog and bay at the moon” than be a Senator, and retire to his Mississippi plantation with his’ books and his birds, who gave him his farewell dinner? Phil Roche, It was a quiet affair, but John Sharp later said that he felt hon- ored.

Thus in the’ short space of three years the Republican administration has submittéd four different plans for world peace and completed none, During the campaign of 1920, it was for some sort of a league of nations, not the Wilson league, After the election it was for an association of nations, then for a world court end now {t turns to the country with the world court in one id and the Hagve court in the other, unable to decide which, {f either, it will offer, meanwhile confessing that its dis- armament treaty was a failure by suggesting a new disarmament con- ference. “Certainly never in the history of the country did a party organization display so great a talent for con- fusion and evasion as has the present Republican organization. The reason is not far to seek. The Republican party is no longer a co- herent whole. . It ig unable to for- mulate, much less to execute, any program for the relief of the ills from which the country suffers be- cause it js not agreed within itself. The leaders are at odds with the fol- lowers. The masses of the Republi- can party are just as progressive, just as patriotic, just as honest as the members of any party, but they hawe been betrayed by the men who control their organization. “No Republican voter who believes in the principles of Borah, or Norris or LaFollette can achieye his pur- poses by supporting the administra- ton of Coolidge and Lodge and Mel- lon. The two factions are funda- mentally opposed to one another. A house divided against itself cannot stand. To entrust the government of the country for four years more to such a house would be only to perpetuate the present miserable re- cord of strife, recrimination and failure. “As opposed to this what does the Democratic party offer? Not strife but harmony. Not recrimination bit co-operation. Not failure but sué- cess, Wilson went into office in 1913 with a definite program of re- form and progress. His adminis- tration was pledged to break the grip of big business on the people's government. It redeemed its pledge. Within the brief space of six years it wrote upon the statute books of this country more progressive legis- lation than kad been enacted in a generation before. That its achieve- ments were wise and beneficial is proved by the facts first, that under the leadership of Wilson the country enjoyed unparalleled prosperity, and second that the succeeding Republi- can administration did not attempt to repeal or change a single lav: en- acted under Wilson, 2 “If there is any single element in government that more than any other induces prosperity, it is cer- tainty. Big business wants special privilege, but small busin: wants a square deal. It wants harmony in government, uniformity in policy. That ia what the Democratic party gave the country under Wilson, That is what it now offers. “If there is any single element in government that the rank and file of the people need, it is unswerving Mevotion to the rights of the masses. Special privilege would exploit the masses and under the Republican administration it has been given free play. The farmer has been ex- ploited for the benefit .of Wall Street, the worker has been exploit- ed for the benefit of the powers that prey and the public resources have been exploited for the benefit of industrial pirates, The Demo- cratic party offers an end to these abuses, It will govern the country during the next four years as it did under Wilson, in the interests of all It is not the party of any clique or faction. It is the party of all the people. “Not alone in the domestic feld does the Democratic party offer the country clean, coherent and pro. gressive policy, but in the field of international relations as well. Woe pledge a restoration of the idealism of Wilson. We shall place this country in its proper place at the head of all mankind working for world peace and for human better- ment. “Oh my friends, what a heritage is ours from Wilson! He died a mortyr to the greatest cause to which man ever aspired. Away with war and preparation for war! Away with the narrow selfishness of those petty statesmen who, to gain a footing partisan victory, robbed their country of world leader- ship! Let us pledge our loyaity anew to the great vision of Wilson, and, guided by his spirit, move for- ward to the realization of a policy of peace on earth, good-will to men.” EXPLOSION.

TWO FAMOUS BARTENDERS OF WHEELER ON STAND AGAIN TO PRE-PROHIBITION DAYS ARE EMPLOYEES OF U.S. SENATE TESTIFY AT HIG INDICTMENT Senator Flatly Denies That Money Was Paid Him for Representation in Oil HINGTON, May 12.—Senator Wheeler went A oa y before the senate committee in. ctment in Montana and Chairman orah announced that with his testimony the hearings back on the stand i Guiting into his ind’ would conclude. © A flat denial that any money paid him by’ Gordon Campbell, the Montana oil promoter, was intended fee for representa- tion in ofl perm matters before the department of interior, as charged in his indictment was entered by Senator Wheeler. In reply to a series of questions, he specified in detail that the $4,000 paid him by Campbell was a part of legal fees due for representing the oil man in state court litigation. Senator Borah cited the letter produced by the department of jus- tice, in which Wheeler in Wash- ington suggested that Campbell sent him some details of oil permit application, “in order that I may have the facta when-I take it up with the department of justice.” “I never received an answer from this letter,” Senator Wheeler sald, “and I never appeared before the department of interior in connection witht it.” ‘The permit mentioned in the let- ter, he declared, was not in contro- versy, and his recollection was that Campbell was seeking to sell rights under it to the Standard Ol! com- pany of California. “The Standard people, who had bought some land, felt they should ve more from Campbell,”’ Senator Wheeler went on, \“I never got the matter straight, because Campbell never answered my letter.” “Did the Standard company ever Pay you a fee?" asked Senator Swanson, Democrat, Virginia. “No,” Senator Wheeler gaid. “I never had any connection with it.” Questioned by Senator Sterling, Republican, South Dakota, Senator Wheeler said he had heard a dis- cussion between Campbell and a Standard Oil lawyer. “Can any other inference be drawn than you discussed the per- mit?” asked Senator Sterling. “I'm telling you'what was done— you can draw the inferences, plied the witnesses. Senator Sterling asked about a telegram in which Wheeler asked Campbell to prepare a list of all ofl Permits he had in Montana, and send it on to Wheeler. E. C. Booth, former ‘solicitor of the in- terior department, had testffied that he joined with Senator Wheeler in preparing the message. ‘Did this.embrace the evidence of oll permits?” Senator Sterling asked. “f couldn't tell you,” Senator Wheeler responded. ‘This message was dictated by Mr. Booth. It had nothing to do with any matter pend- ing before the interior department —in any way, shape or form. I re- ceived an answer to it that after- noon.” Senator Wheeler read this mes- sage, which said Campbell was coming on to Washington person- ally, but would forward the list. “I never received the list,” the witness continued, “because in the next day or so, I was on my way to Europe.” Senator Wheeler sald Booth was interested in trying “to finance Campbell, and Senator Sterling re- marked that that was “hardly « matter for the interior department solicitor.” —_—-—. 2.22 Wyoming Motorway ¢ ¢ 7 ‘ Chairman Borah.

To test Wheeler’s account of legal work done by himself and his law firm, Senator Sterling asked’a num. ber of questions which dealt with complaints, legal motions, and legal brief preparation. The senators— both lawyers—put some heat into the discussion. Senator Sterling endeavored to show there wasn't much law work involved, and Sena- tor Wheeler that there was a great deal. Senator Sterling presented for ths record an affidavit made by E. M. Harvey, an associate of Campbell, and Chairman Borah admitted it, though he remarked that it was en- tirely immaterial.
