Throughout all time-men’have received the heartiest approval of a united citizenship who would even attempt the organization of an in- dependent company and men with less courage, less sound business judgment than Gene Sullivan possesses would have been frozen out early in the game. Mr. Sullivan made the same progress with the irrigation projects he fathered and promoted. in the Big Horn Basin, reclaiming thousands of acres of arid land which became productive under the ditch. He is today, with all his other business interests, one of the biggest farmers in Wyoming, having more than 3,000 acres in crops near Basin, Wyo. | “Hon. Eugene J.

CAGPER HOLDS WHIP HAND IN STATE VOTE ON NOVEMBER 4TH Importance of Local Vote Emphasized in Figures Revealing Big Electorate Here. It is now quite evident that this will be “‘The Year of the Big Vote” in Casper, since the registration returns made by the city’s 26 precincts yesterday afternoon to the county clerk showed the total to be 11,560, That astounding figure definitely makes Casper the dominating fac- tor in Wyoming in the election of next month. Cheyenne, the second largest city in the state, last Thurs- day night closed its books with but a few more than 6,000 registrations. That Casper and Natrona county hold the “whip hand” in the stato vote is further emphasized by estt- mates that the total vote polled in Wyoming will be near the 70,000 mark, Based on these figures this county han between one-fifth and one-sixth of all the voters im the state. * The registration figures of this year, which show an increase.of 126. over those for the election N vember 7, 1922, confirm in no wncer- tain manner. ‘population estimates for this city of 34,000.

Aside from the nationwide campaign to get out a larger vote, there are other incentives to create a whirlwind of ballots on November 4.

This year there are 26, the new ones being Moun. tain V , Burlington, Evansville, Roberts, Woolf, Boundy and ‘Stand ard.
