DON'T GET YOUR TRIBUNE nd your Tribu: fter lookieg care: AN F YOU fon’t f A Splendid Day’s Work and count up the things we received result and also the things we missed For instance, along with Coolidge and awes, we got constitutional government, pres- \ervation of American institution: ntegrity and “huthority of the United States supreme court, protection of personal property rights, the pro- tective tariff, ion of American industry and world trade, American merchant marine, the budget, businesslike administr: m of govern: ment affairs, no entangling alliances, collection of foreign debts owed to the American taxpayers, further reduction of armaments by international agreement, lowér faxes, plenty of employment for all at highest v paidjin the world.

All » honor to them. They have saved America from destruction and themselyes from worst ‘ Fairly Licked ... Never in any national campaign have the dif- t ferent candidates been so well served by the news- papers through their press associations and their special correspondents. Each candidate has had -vhis views fairly stated and at length. This is particularly true of Davis and LaFollette. While Coolidge taken the worst of it. There can be no claim by the former two that they did not get a hearing. Neither the unfair criticisms of President Coolidge by Davis nor the absolute falsehoods by the La¥ollette group has even been modified. Nothing was too outrageous to be print- t ed. The people have been, thoroughly informed so far as the candidates wished them informed of their views and policies, And now that it is all over, the opponents of <==the Republicans cannot do the baby act and plead unfairness. They have been swamped, and badly swamped. Let them take their licking and call it good. ’ : Wanen’s Triumph Senator Francis E. Warren may well take pride in the splendid majority tendered him at ‘Tuesday's election by the voters of Natrona county. It would seem to be a substantial compli- ment to his years of faithful service to Wyo- ming. It represented as »well, the-faith the peo- ple have in his abil nd willingness to further the Casper-Alcova reclamation project, which is a matter of great moment to this commugity, In view of the fact that Senator Warren’s op- ponent was a local man, with a wide acquaint: ance and having a horde of political workers at his back -and seemingly inexhaustible waf chest, his victory is all the more notable. Senator Warren's triumph saves to the senate of the United States its most valuable as well us its most industrious member. oreter . , . Winter's Popularity Hon. Charles Winter has no cause to feel downeast at the send off Natrona county gave him Tuesday. He did pretty well. 4,131 majority in a single Wyoming county is fair enough. But Mr, Winter deserved it, He has brought con- siderable reputation to Wyoming in the first term he serv in congress and it is a nice way to say; “Well done, good and faithful servant.” In his future career in congress Mr. Winter will enlarge his reputation as one of the body’s ablest and most industrious members. In one session he came to the front as an able and well informed speaker on divers subjects and occasions. Partic- ularly as an authority upon matters dealing with oil, the very subject congress was groping in the - dark about, did he prove himself. So far as Wyoming people are concerned, Mr. “Swinter can be returned to congress until he weaches the record established by Hon. Frank W. Mondell. And then, as much longer as he desires. The Object of Voting = This is a partnership government, in. which — we all have a share. The success of the govern- ment depends on the average man and woman, z3if you are going to make a business pay, you must put some effort and intelligence into it. The American government will not pay dividends of efficient service if its stockholders never at- tend a meeting, never read a report of the direc- tors, never try to think out some way by which its earnings can be increased and its costs cut down. This wonderful country of ours came down as a free gift, paid for by great sacrifices. The people who receive benefits and do not make any. return for the same, are not highly thought of in this world. The only way we can say “Thank you” for our country. is to get out at elections and primaries and keep it true to its original ideals, just as we did on Tuesday, November 4, in this year‘of grace, Destroy the Germ The department of agriculture excludes ani- mals, shrubs and seeds which may produce ani- mal or plant disease. What is the matter with the federal departments which permit humans to enter rying the worst of all diseases, the germ of revolution, of famine, of pestilence, and of irreligion? Let us watch those who would adyo- cate their entrance into. the United States. Let us examine our own disease carriers and ascer- tain how many, there are in the third party to- day who sneaked around corners in 1917 and *18 knives under their belts for the government of the United States while it’ was at war. Let us have some gf the records at Washington which a benigh government is concealing. Let us know something of the men who make their homes the meeting places of spies and muck- rakers. We do not fear any Red issue just yet. but we do fear the unwelcome carriers of Soviet- ism and their. financial Tackers. The Soviet in Rusia drove out religion and introduced crime afd disi . Do we want it here? By all means let us inye: te the criminality of some of those who are pre ing about slush funds, Democratic Insincerity The insincerity of the Democratic party in its opposition to the protective tariff policy was put to the proof at the time of the passage of the Fordney-McCumbér tariff measure in 1922. Demo- cratic senators who are loud in their denuncia- tions of pr®tection.when on the platform joined the Republicans in voting for duties to protect the products of their own states. Fourteen of the Democratie senators voted for argendments which would increase the rates of duty! These senators were Broussard and Ransdell of Louisiana, Ken- drick of Wyoming, Ashurst of Arizona, Caraway and Robinson of Arkansas, Heflin of Alabama, Harris of Georgia, Jones of New Mexico, Myers of Montana, Pittman of Nevada, Sheppard of Texas, Fletcher and Trammell of Florida. eventeen Deémocratie senators votdd ‘against amendments which would lower rates of duty. These senators were, Broussard, hendrick, Rans. dell, Ashurst, Caraway, Harris, Heflin, Jones of New Mexico, Myers, Robinson, Sheppard, Fletch- er, Trammell, Culberson, Swanson, Walsh of Mon- tana and Dial. On the final vote on the passage of the bill three. Democratic senators joined the Republicans and yoted for its passage. These mators were Broussard and Ransdell of Louis- jana and\ Kendrick of Wyoming. They and they alone, were consistent. They believed in protec- tion for the industries of their own states and for the rest of the country and so voted. They did not, as did their other party associates, vote for the highest rates obtainable'on products of their respective states, then vote against the mea- sure, knowing well it would be enacted into law. and later ow-go before the country to damn the measure as iniquitous and unjustified. A Dignified Campaign We have alwhys believed that it should be be- neath the dignity of a candidate for the presi- dency to travel around the country begging for votes, To us the ideal attitude was that of Wil- liam McKinley, Jr., in 1896, whén he was oppos- ed to Bryan, with his free-trade and free silver heresies. Instead of traveling about, Mr. Me- Kinley remained at home and addresed only those who came to his home and offered their ‘support. In his own dooryard he addresed the visiting delegations and gave to them and through them to the entire electorate of the country, good and sufficient reasons for his support of the protective tariff policy and his advocacy of a sound money policy. On the other hand. Mr. Bryan traversed the country from end tovend, advocating his free-trade heresies. and his free silver fallacies ‘with an eloquence and 2 win- ning personality which he possessed in full meas- ure. Those who listened to’ Bryan went away charmed by his words and manner, but uncon- vinced by them. Those who traveled to the home of McKinley, were rigt only charmed but also convinced by the logic of his utterances. In the campaign just closed Mr. Coolidge, in principle, followed the example of McKinley. He did not travel about asking fot ‘votes, but remained at home attending to the dutiés which have devolved upon him as president, delivering no electioneering speeches, but not hesitating to discuss the policies of the party of which he is the titular head, nor to: criticize the policies which he believes to be inimical to the best in- terests of the country. He spoke but only on in- yitation and not as an electioneering candidate. As candidate for the highest office in the land, we believe that he has taken the proper course. The policy appropriate for a presidential candi- date does not apply to candidates for other of- fices. To a certain extent, they are spokesmen: not only for themselves, but for the presidential candidate as well. That is, they speak for the party whose candidates they are. The opposing presidential gandidates haye striven to draw Mr. Coolidge into controversies which are not, at issue in the campaign, He has had-the good sense not to fall into their traps and forward their schemes. The president stands for an adequate protective tariff, for an orderly ad- ministration of the government and such an ad- ministration hé has given us. He stands for the policies announced in the platform of the party whose nominee he-is, and he has not been back- ward in so declaring. Other candidates have “gone all around: Robin Hood’s barn” for the sake of making campaign talk and attempting to excite prejudices yand suspicions, but such tactics have proved futile in the face of the dig- nified campaign of the next president of the United States. Rattling the Bones Right down to the end Robert M. LaFollette rattled the bleached skeleton of Wall Street in the face of the people. Here is his final ante- mortem shot: “Tf I am elected president and such a conspir- acy as has been prepetrated under the present administration is attempted, some of the gentle- men of Wall street who are now glibly making threats are going to find themselves behind the bars in Leavenworth or Atlanta.” Robert M. LaFollette can now subside and calm himself. He is done with conspiracies, his own as well as other people's. He is Supposed to be deceased.

Such a plan, if adopted by our government, to which labor incites it and toward which, thert- fore, congress leans indulgently, as does the navy department, would close up most of our existing private shipyards, and many of our exist- ing repair plants. It is all of a part not only to prevent the adoption of any protective American shipping policy but to destroy anything and everything now existing that Is help- ful to the development and mainte- nance of an American merchant ma- rine. It is a notorious fact that neither construction nor repair of vessels can be accomplished as @heaply in navy yards as in private plants. It {s only through a bookkeeping jug- gling with “overhead” that navy yards are able to make a pretense of lower cost. Besides, there {s alto- gether lacking from navy bids the responsibility and Uability for per- formance as per contract that at- taches to a private’ plant. And it is this that explains the seemingly lower bids for merchant ship work navy yards at times make. Protectionists during the past half century or more -have not given much attention to, nor co-operated with, those representing maritime interests who have sought protec- tion. Protection in‘the United States is applied indirectly through the tariff, a way that the majority of our people approve of. Shipowners have sought protection by direct grants from the national treasury, to which the people, and congress and the press have objected. It is time that protection be extended to our maritime interests, ~ with the hearty co-operation of all protec- tioniste—that is to say, through the tariff. In’a single particular, in the existing tariff, adequate protection was extended to our shipyards and repair plants in the provision that places a 60 per cent duty on repairs to American ships made in foreign countries, unless it can be clearly shown such repairs were so made in order to enable the American ship to reach her home port. The pre. tective tariff can be availed of for the completq and adequate protec. tion of our merchant ships and ship- builders, and it should be so availed of. ———_ Yearling or. two-year-old bucks, good heavy shearers, mutton type, Corriedale breed.
