MONDELL’S CANDIDACY
FOR THE U. S. SENATE
Occasionally one hears the remark
from those unacquainted with the true
situation, that Mondell should return
to the House of Representatives. Too
often perhaps the wish is the father
to the thought; but in other instanc
es, those possessed of this belief are
honest in their opinion. To go to the
United States Senate has been almost
the life-long, as well as the laudible
ambition of Frank W. Mondell. So
long ago as the senatorial fight of
1893 when the Republicans lacked
one of a majority in the legislature,
and the Democrats were unable to
muster all of their strength to the
support of any one candidate, the Re
publican strength was cast for Mon
dell, with the single exception ofy his
vote during many ballots. It will be
recalled that there was no election by
the legislature and that Wyoming, for
a two year period, had only one Unit
ed States Senator. This experience
turned the attention of the people to
Frank Mondell as Congressional Tim
ber. In 1894, at the Casper conven
tion, although first urged for the po
sition of Governor, Mondell was nom
inated for Representative in Congress.
In 1910, or shortly thereafter, close
friends of Clarence D. Clark stated
that he would not run again, and the

friends of Mondell suggested that if j
Senator Clark ultimated decided upon '
this plan, Mondell would be the candi- i
date. Senator Clark, however, decid-1
ed to make the race in 1916, and the
result is history.
In 1917 Senator Warren reached
the conclusion that he would like to
retire to private life, and Mondell an
nounced that he would be a candidate
to succeed him. Mr. John Hay also
entered the race. The United States |
got into the war and the demand up
on Senator Warren to remain in the
Senate was so strong that he changed ,
his plans and was re-elected in 1918. I
All down through the years it has ;
been the general opinion among Re- ■
publicans of Wyoming that Mondell
should be the first Republican nomi
nated when proper opportunity pre
sented Itself. By the fiasco of 1916,
a place in the Senate was lost to the
Republicans of Wyoming. That place
is to be filled by election this year.
It is the first time that the way has
been cleared for Mr. Mondell’s candi
dacy. At least a year ago he began
letters from prominent Re
publicans over the State, urging him
to make the race. During the spring
of 1921 the Sheridan Post, the most
prominent Republican daily of Nor
thern Wyoming, published a strong
editorial in advocacy of his nomina
tion. With a single exception, Wyo
ming’s Republican press joined in
this demand, and in the month of Au
gust Mr. Mondell issued a statement
which summed up the situation in an
admirable manner, therein announc
ing to the people of Wyoming that he
would be a candidate at the general
election in 1922.
The entire situation, therefore, was
fully canvassed by leading Republi
cans and the Republican press before
Mr. Mondell consented to enter the
race. Having so decided and made
his announcement to the people, there
was and is but one course to pursue
—to stand for the United States Sen
ate. He has never forf a moment
swerved from this decision and state
ments to the effect that he should re
main in the House are. coming mainly
from those who are in opposition to
the election of a Republican senator.
This year above all others, when
Republican principles and the Repub
lican administration are on trial, the
Republicans of Wyoming should be
steadfast and should dp their utter
most to regain the seat lost to them.
All over the nation the Democrats are
passing the word that they are going
to carry Congress this year and that
they will then be in a position to
block the plans and the policies of
President Harding.
There is another insiduous argu
-1 ment being used by our Democratic
friends —that Mr. Mondell would have
no influence in the senate. That is
not at all true. In the senate he
would have 1 vote to 96. In the House
Ihe has 1 in 435. He would not only
, have more than four times the voting
strength, but he would carry with
him to the senate all of the personal
acquaintance and intimate knowledge
of legislation attained by ewenty-flve
years of service. His intimate know
ledge of all of the various activities
of the departments and bureaus would
!go with him. At the same time, he
and Senator Warren would be able to
give to our member of the House of
Representative the value of their long
Congressional experience and person
al friendships. •
Those Democrats who are persist
ent in their argument that Mr. Mon
dell should go to the House have ex
ceedingly short memories. They do
not refer to the fact that Mr. Ken
drick, who was elected to the position
of Governor in 1914, became a candi
i date in 1916 for the United States
: Senate, against a constitutional pro-
I vision, and after election deserted his
post, turning over his office to a man
poorly fitted for the position and with
out the confidence of the people. Mr.
Kendrick, in justice to the people of
Wyoming, should have remained in
the position of governor.
The Republicans and the entire peo
ple of Wyoming have a vast deal to
gain by sending Mondell to the sen
ate, and this is their purpose this
year.
Powell Unit Holders
Soured On. Nelson
S. A. Nelson is back from Washing
ton for the third time, and, as usual,
when we asked for bread he brought
us a stone. Whether he meant for us
to use the stene as a project grave
marker, or to he tied to our necks the
better to sink us, remains to be seen.
But this one thing is certain. Though
he didn’t sec “Old Man Warren,’’ Ken
drick, nor Secretary Fall, he did find
time to stop off a day at Cheyenne to
feel the political pulse.
We haven’t a good memory but It
does seem true that the horse on
which Nelson rode to Washington was
groomed and caparisoned at Billings
by a conference bent on junket enter
prises at a cent and a half an acre;
also that the said conference charged
the said Nelson with three important
duties to perform which he seems to
have forgotten on the way. Then,
’ike the hunter who did not want to
return empty handed, brough back,
not a dead rabbit picked up by the
I wayside, but two full grown, well
pursed Irrigation district twins, one
for Powell and one for Deaver, not
mentioned in the plans and specifica
tions.
Some of us think that these were
slipped into his grip when he left
Powell. If that be true he certainly
took good care of them while away.
The line of communication between
Powell and Washington was closed
while Mr. Nelson was there, but we
did happen to be admitted to the in
ner circle, by invitation Monday night
to attend a meeting of the faithful at
the Badger Club room, to hear Nel
son’s report. There the "red flag was
waved In the faces of the bulls’’ who
happened all to be cows except two.
One of the two told them they could
get nowhere with the red flag, and if
any plan for relief was to succeed,
that plan must have the undivided
support of the unit holders. To this
Nelson consented, and expressed sen
timents of laying the district matter
aside until after we got the govern
ment’s plan of fconcesston, and “use
the irrigation district as stock in
trade to drive a beter bargain.” As
, ter the meeting we conferred with
Mr. Caldwell in the presence of Mr.
Scott and Mr. Carpenter—all mem
bers he water users board —and
Mr ; and Mr. Caldwell did say
to us uiac "for the sake of harmony
the irrigatipn district proposition of
Nelson’s report would not be present
ed to the meeting of water users Sa
turday afternoon —that we wanted the
five year concession and the district
matter could rest in the meantime
and be taken up later.”
Everyone present understood that
to be the arrangement. This will ex
plain to those we informed by phone,
and otherwise, why they were told
that the irrigation district matter
would not come up at the Saturday
meeting. It was due to a mistaken
i faith in men we thought had a con
' science. For, didn’t you see that
these men were determined to make
sure of the district at the expense of
harmony, even if it did jeopardize the
plan for relief? It looked as if they
were willing to trade the whole pro
ject for a concession which, after all,
will probably help the bankers more
than the farmers.
And what else did they do? We
never believed from the beginning
that they would let the unit holders
vote by ballot on the irrigation dis
trict matter. And they never will.
You must not expect to. Just turn
over everything you have to them.
The meeting held Saturday deprived
you of any right to vote when it ap
proved Nelson’s propositions which
already in the hands of Director Da
vis for action.
You will recall, too, that Nelson
vouchsafes an irrigation district for
the Deaver people, probably on the
theory that what is good for the gan
der is also good for the goose. We
thought he was merely a delegate
chosen to carry out the expressed
