The final sessions took on the as- pect of a gala affair, fitting in well with the nationwide jubilee year celebration of the organization.

Last evenjng the outstanding talk was decivered by Mrs, Adrianna diungerford of Denver who related the history of the temperance work- ers body from the days of its incep- tion at Hillscboro; Ohio.

Hall of Casper, Mrs. Mary Burr of Burns, and Mrs. Mary Peckham of Cody, which were adopted yesterday. Preamble. Wyoming Woman’ Christian ‘Temperance union in its forty-first annual convention assemb!ed rev- erently acknowledges the leadership of God through the past year with deepest gratitude, and pledges consv- crated allegiance to Him through the coming year, Law Enforcement. We affirm that respect’ for and obedience to the laws of the republic which are essential to its life, that failure to enforce the Wighteenth Amendment to the federal constitu- tion imperils every other provision of that document, We earnestly protest against any weakening of the Volstead code, and in the power of the ate law enforcement department. Citizenship Realizing that Wyoming 1s facing @ crisis in the coming election, we appeal to every citizen to support only such candidates as will uphold the constitutions of the state and nation and the present method of enforcing the prohibition law in ‘Wyoming. Moral Education. ‘We declare for an intensive cam- paign against habit forming drugs, and urge a continuous warfare e@gainst the ciguret. We also call upon all educators to stress the teaching of Christian morals in the schools and colleges.

George E. Kindler, candl- Jate un the LaFollette ticket in this state for United States senator is in Ke city in the interest of his cam- vaign, which he is vigorously wag- ng throughout the state. He is a anique figure in Wyoming politics. deretofore he hag been a Democrat, wlding high rank in that party. Only two years ago he was a for- midable candidate for governor in he Democratic state convention which met at Douglas and came within a few votes of nomination. {t was only by the trickery of the Democratic state machine that he was defeated. The convention itself was for Kindler and wou'd have rominated him but for the inter- ‘erence of the politicians. The con- vention finally nominated William 8B. Ross. Mr. Kindler was found this morn- ing at a local hotel and in reply to she reporter’s queries made the fol- towing gene: statements: Have you dnything to say regard- ing the senatorship in this state? “Yes, only this, LaFollette voters very much desire to see an out and out LaFollette man elected to the senate. For that reason they will support me and not Judge Rose. The voters reason like this; Judge Rose, it elected, propably would support some of LaYollette’s measures, but the judge is an unknown quantity on the really vital propositions we want enacted into law. . In other words, he cannot be counted on in the pinches. Judge Rose is a Demo- crat and as he is candidate on the Democratic ticket, if elected, he will be greatly influenced by his party organization, both as to legislation and appointments—an organization which LaFollette condemns. Judge Rose is now campaigning the state, not for LaFollette but for Dayis, He is doing nothing for LaFollette, “It ig hard to conceive how a bona fide LaFollette voter who wants to see LaFollette elected, can vote for @ candidate who is antagonistic to such voter's interest. Then, too, the voter is not likely to forget the work I and our state organization have done for LaFollette in this state since last June. To summerize the matter a very large part of the Democrats are strong for La¥ollette and the same is true of Republicans. They will be for me, Judge Rose and Senator Warren will divide what is left.’ How about you place on the bal- (Continued on Page Nine.) Bliss and apparently had all gain speed. Unusual adventures of her career marked her flight during the night. She got badly off her course early today and dipped into Mexico accord- ing to reports at Douglas, Arizona, before she was set aright by wire- less from Fort Hauchuca. As darkness settled_on the Shen- andoah last night, abave the Ari- zona plains the gas in the great bogs was contracted by chilling breezes, and, becoming heavier with every drop in the termperature, she was forced to jettison 1,400 pounds of gasoline and release one of the tanks after having discharged all water ballast to acquire an. even keel. With all motors running full speed she had settled to an angle of fourteen degrees. At 1:33 a. m., mountain time, the Shenadoah had recovered her bear- ings and was above Douglas, 216 miles west of El Paso. She was due at Fort Worth about 4 p. m. There she will take on 200,000 cubic feet of helium tonight and cast off for Lakehurst, New Jersey, her home station, tomorrow morning. ABOARD THE U. 8. S, SHEN: ANDOAH, Oct. 23.

The elevation of LaFollette and Rose, one a radical com- mitted to the overthrow of existing order, and the other a per- son of no knowledge and little equipment for public service, will mean little else than economical chaos, both nationally and locally.
