Republican nominee for governor, has drafted the following platform of principles which should command close reading on the part of all who go to the polls:) In accepting the nomiriation for the office of governor cf Wyoming at the hands of the Republican state convention and the Republican state committee, I desire to reaffirm my life long faith in the party of Lincoln and that grand galaxy of party suecessors given to the republic by the grand old Re- publican party. The last official pronouncement by the party ‘was at the state convention assembled at Lander on May 10th of this year. The platform of principles adopwed on that occasion are as vital today as they were then. They are Republican prin- ciples. That platform had my whole hearted approval then. It has my approval and support today as your candidate for goy- ernor. As a candidate, asking the suffrage of the people, I would not change a single declaration made by the party on May 10th. I may, with perfect propriety, emphasize the planks ap. proved then, and may add such new ones us seem to fit the situation \upon which we have come in the present.

It means little to say that you are in favor of labor. Any person can be that and still not be labor’s friend. The real friend of labor is the one who permits life long action to guar- antee the friendship. It is nothing to boast of, because it was right and proper and Christian io see to it, during my business career, to provide good conditions, adequate wages, prompt pay and season it all with cordial and friendly relations with those employed. If these things constitute a friend of labor, then I claim the friendship. Law enforcement has rather grown to be a state of mind. The moral let down, throughout the world, brought about by the brutalities of war affected America to a similar degree as the rest of the countries in more direct contact with ruthless operations. Dis: of law and violent so-called crime waves swept the world. Bxecutive authorities struggled in vain against a situation that Yeached almost to universal disgrace and threatened public security if not civilization itself. The people are gradually returning to a more pronounced desire for morally and good order, and stricter observance of the laws which afford safety to society. I am convinced that the nation and the several states, already have too many laws. That we are regulated. beyond reason, both in our personal citizenship and our business, That the people resent the multiplicity of statutes which say, “Thou shalt not” and which invade the business affairs of the people. If congress and state legislatures could be brought to abstain from law making by wholesale and get on a retail basis, the country would be better off. And if fifty per cent of the laws npw upon the statute ‘books could be repealed great relief and better understanding would ensue. In this nation we are not ‘pula Regal ‘to extinetion, but we are governed to extinction... 0820" 2 eee She I believe in law enforcement. Not of one particular law, but of all laws; but I do not believe in placing burdens and regulations upon the péople. Rather would I trust them ;and the demands of their enlightened public apinion to maintain good order anda stgée of morality in their own communities through local officers of; the law. The staius of any community, with reference to morality and law enforcement_is known by the desires of the people of that particular commwity and since the “good” outnumber the “bad” in every community it is purely a matter of asserting themselves. .The people, them- selves must help create desirable conditions. Some of the provisions of the present primary election law have become obnoxious to many of our people, who believe that some reformation or some amendment has become neces- sary the light of recent experience. In order to have voters participate in all elections and proposals submitted to them it is essential: that the machinery by which the voice of the people may be heard is built so plain and simple, and so free from complication and liability to manipulation as to induce and attract voters to its use'instead of repel them. In my hum- ble opinion we do not secure a fair expression of the will of the people when at primaries and elections no more than fifty Be cent of the qualified voters exercise their right of fran: chise. In the coming election it is a matter of highest importance that the people prepare to perform their duties of citizenship by voting for the candidates of one party or another. It is of greater moment that they vote than that they vote for me or for my party. I would not undertake the administration of the public affairs of Wyoming, should I. be elected, unless I am assured that I may have the full support and hearty co-operation of the people of this state, regardless of party and regardless of polities. After the election the public affairs of Wyoming became the business affairs of the people, to be directed and as serup: ulously managed to the minutest detail as any private busi. ness affair within the state. With these’ sacred pledges to the people, all of which I shall faithfully redeem if given the power, I leave my case in their hands, Faithfully, EUGENE J. SULLIVAN. THE VIRTUE OF HONESTY By Jor: F. Lo: LANDER, WYOMING No doubt you have seen that card and ad of Rose’s “Wyo- ming “wants honesty in Washington and Prosperity in Wyo- ming. We baven’t been getting either—Vote for Judge Robert R. Rose for United States Senator.” It occurs to me that nothing more vicious and slanderous has been put out-in years in a senatorial race—and it is being put out to further the candidacy of a “Judge.” “Wyoming wants honesty in Washington—we haven't been getting either—.” In ofher words with Warren, Kendrick and Winter at Washington, still we hayn’t been getting HONESTY in Washington. In other words they are all three crooked. “Vote for JUDGE—.” Oh yes be sure to impress people that this is a “Judge” and therefore is sure to be honest. Judge Rose receives a salary of $6,500 0 year, or $541.65 per month, and it is presumed that he is drawing this sum each month, otherwise he would have-resigned, and looking at the cards, signs, advertisements, and the white enamel tin signs for anto license plates, I should say he needs the money for his campaign. However, during September and October outside judges are holding his regular term at Casper, and attending to his duties, but the salary of $1,083.30 due Judge Rose for those two months, is not being earned by the recipient. But we haven't been getting honesty in Washington. Let's send “Judge” Rose there to give us his brand so we can get some prosperity in Wyoming. Oh, Hell, what’s the use?
