SULLIVAN AND MONDELL BRING CAMPAIGN HERE TO FINAL CLOSE Elks Auditorium Is Packed for Rousing Meeting; Rep. Winter Unable to Attend. Under the inspiration of heart-to-heart messages from Frank W. Mondell, ex-con- gressman, and Eugene J. Sullivan, candidate for gov- ernor, the Republican party brought its Natrona county cam- paign to a rousing finish last night at the Elks’ auditorium. The seat- ing capacity of the hall was taxed with those who gathered for the oc- casion and the applause for the speakers was generous. Congressman Charles E. Winter, scheduled as one of the principal speakers, was unable to be present, being confined to his bed with a mild attack of influenza as a result of campaigning too strenuously the last couple of weeks. His cause was ably espoused by Mr. Mondell who dwelt at length on the advisability and necessity of returnring Mr. Win- ter to congress. A telegram of regrets from the Hon. Hubert Work, secretary of the Interior was read by Mayor 8. K. Loy, who presided at the meeting. ‘Mr. Work was to have been the main orator of the evening but en- gagements made for him, without his knowledge, made it impossible for him to leave Denver today, not send me, down to Chey- enne as governor unless you expect a strict enforcement of all lawa in an inteligent, safe and sane manner and a’ sttict adherence to economy, honesty and morality in the hand- ling of your affairs.’” In this the concluding déentence of his talk, Mr. Sullivan summed up thé whole of his campaign, In the introduction to his talk the Repub- Mean nominee traced briefly from the time of the death of Governor | Ross to the present time the moves that had been made fr the selection of himself as tka gubernatorial can- didate of the party. Of the important points stressed by Mr. Sullivan, on none did tis put. the emphasis so strongly as on the urgent appeal for all citizens to take an active interest in’ politics, to ally themselves with some party and to, send responsible. men to fill national and state offices.. People ‘© been, according to Mr. Sulli- , too prone to sit back and eriti- elze and to give too little attention to public business. ‘The same kind of attention to public business that the average citizen gives to his pri- vate affairs would result in a mar- velous administration of our affairs, Mr. Sullivan took his" stand deter- minedly for the enforcement of all, laws on the statute books, the fur- therance of education, economy in administration, the paring of un- necessary legislation, the further- ance of the Casper-Alcova ’ project and a return to more safe and sano administration of public affairs, + Although confining himself for the most part to national issues, Mr. Mondell took occasion to pay glow: ing tributes to the work in 1) gress of Representative Winter and Senator Francis Warren, both candidates for re-election, Both men have, a ding to Mr. Mon- dell, proven their ability in the of- tices which have been conferred on them and are vitally necessary to the furtherance of the Casper-Al- cova project and other works that Wyoming desires, 3ir, Mondoll traced the life of Sen- ator Warren briefly from the time he enlisted with the Union army tn the Civil war, through his winning (Continued on Page Bight) LOS ANGELS, Nev, 1.—(United | | Press)\—With the death toll atanding jat 18 and with at least four more |} victims expecte die, city and| county! health orities believed jtonight they had controlled the mys |terious epidemle which broke out in |the Mextcar section of the city and {which haw diagnosed the} as pneumenic plague.
