The strongly dry rural sections, however, turned the tide at. midnight. The plebiscite was the first in On- tario since 1919, when a éimilar ref- endum showed a majcrity of 407,000 in favor of the dry law. The act was passpi in 1916 ag & war meas- ure, and is similar to the eighteenth amendment of the United States constitution in that it allows the sale of iiquor only upon physicians’ prescriptions for medicinal purposes. Women’s organizations campaign- ed actively for the retention of the act, while the “wets” concentrated their efforts on the cities, which they felt confident would roll up a (Continued op Page Ten.)

The investigation by Smith and his assist- plaints, STAND FOR YOUR OWN! (eprTortaL) What and who put Casper on the map and made it what it is today a mignificent city of 34,000 prosperous people. The answer is easy—oil and the men who developed the industry. That being the case beyond dispute, we are wondering if there is not some slight consideration due the producers of all the prospefity that has core to so many people? These same developers are going further, They are seeking to build Cas- per bigger and better, b: and join us and so dive one indi&try community inducing other interests to come fy industry and take it out of the The-one thing that answers the greatest immediate need is the Casper-Alcova project, the direct source of many of the essentials of life. The one means that will feed the popu- lation at lawest cost. ,a population that affords a splendid home market to absorb most of what can be produced on such a farming and dairying enterprise. The enterprising developers and builders of Casper rely upon the power of Senator Francis E. Warren to aid in this greatly desired object. In short they desire his re-election to the senate so he may be in position to aid. They count his re-election a vital matter in the immediate futuro expansion of C: . Their motive is a purely patriotic one. It has to do with the prosperity of all,the people. It means great things for the city and-great things for those who take advantage of the offers that will be made under the project. .There are people who do not appreciate the importance of the project nor the greater importance of Francis E. Warren to the securing of the project. The people of Casper and of Natrona county should pre- pare to act as a unit in the return of Senator Warren to con- ‘gress. It is to their own advantage and it is to their own pros- perity that they will act in re-clecting him. Senator Warren is the key to the whole situation. If he is ‘in the senate, the project is assured. If he is defeated the whole of improvement becomes very uncertain, or will fail t is not a political matter it is a civic matter.Everybody is interested. Every voter should cast his ballot for, Sena- tor Warren. Think it over, a nd if you are for Casper and Prosperity and willing to:support the man and the interests that have brought arren, TO yates. thus far, you will see the point and vote for “SLAYERS ARE SENT DEATH; PENALTIES METED OUT TO SIX IN ROBBERY CASE MONTREAL, Can., Oct. 24.—Louis Morel and Frank murderers of Henri CjJeroux, were hanged at Bordeaux jail at 4:56 this morning.

Mr. Wimer, known all over the state through his activity in the wool business here for the last 15 years, is keen student of politics and active in campaigning in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Previous to the primary he campaigned through the whole state of New fersey for Senator Edge, who won the primary by a large majority. “Warren’s name in’ Washington and the entire east,’ sald Mr. Wim- er, “means more than hie Wyofhing constituents can possibly conceive, He is known as a worker and a fighter, with his eyes always open for the things that will help his home state. “It is a notorious fact in Wash- ington that ‘Warren can get more for Wyoming than the majority of the senators can get for their much more densely populated and richer states. Senators from the big east- ern states envy his influence and more than one has made a business of studying Warren's political activ: ity so that the might pattern after hi ‘he one big reason why Warren should be re-elected is that he has the influence that counts.
