13 Times Have the People of Wyoming Sent Mondell to
Washington.
13 Times He Has Promised Prosperity to the People
13 Times He Has Failed |
to make good these promises
The pride of Wyoming Republkans fell flat before
gathering disappointed in the “flower of the Republican
when more than three hundred people left the place of
party.” Mr. Mondell’s attempt to besmirch the char
acter of his opponent, John B. Kendrick- did not meet
with a sympathetic response on the part of his audience.
Mr. Mondell has in years gone by addressed audi
ences in Lovell when he was a fluent speaker, and at
perfect freedom befofrfef hfis audience. The freedom
of action, and the fluency of speech were both entirely
lacking when he appeared last Friday night.
His talk of prosFperity, which the Republican party
had brought upon the country, was very il'-timed in this
particular locality. His bragging of what the Republi
can party had done for agricultural interests, fell flat,
for all who read, know fulfl well that every bit of agri
cultural and livestock legislation that has passed the
LET THE EX-SERVICE MEN
SAY WHAT THEY THINK
ABOUT JOHN B. KENDRICK
Referring to Kaiser Bill’s re
cent editorial in the Worland
Grit, of the ex-service men gum
shoeing for Senator Kendrick.
As an ex-service man who has
spent more than eighteen months
in France, and a Kendrick man,
I wish to ask the editor of the
Grit who has a better right to
voice their opinion than the men
who bared their breasts to the
Hun lords, to make the world
safe for democracy and the Wor
land Grit.
While the Kendrick ex-service
men were in Frace, where was
the Renpublican editor who is
condemning the ex-service men
for voicing their opinion? But
then what more can we expect
from the Republican press, when
taking headlines from their col
umns we find them to read like
this:
191/—"Our Gallant Heroes.”
1918—“ The Saviors of Our
Country.”
1919 "The Returning Sol
diers.”
1920 "The Ex-Service Men.”
1921 “The Soldier Element."
1922 “Unscrupulous Robbers
of the American Treasury.”
F. C. CUSICK.
Senator Irvine, Life Long Republican, Out For Senator Kendrick
Douglas, Wyo., October 13. (Special to The Boom
erang.)—Declaring that the senatoriel election in Wy
oming is not a question of partisan politics, former Sen
ator William C. Irvine of Converse county, a Republican,
today issued a statement urging the voters of Wyoming
to support Uunited States Senator John B. Kendsick.
Mr. Irvine asserted that in voluntarily relinquishing the
leadership of the Republican party in the house in order
to run agairfst Senator Kendrick, Mr. Mondell was sac
rificing the state in order to serve his personal ambition.
Mr. Irvine’s statement follows:
"As a mere business proposition, says one type of
Republican, Mondell should be promoted to the Unites
States Senate. If you had had a man in your employ
for 25 years and he had given satisfaction would you
not promote him if he requested it. ? Asks this type
of Republican.
“The argument does not meet the test. There is
not an efficient or well-administered corporation in the
country that would discharge one capable employee be-
Friday the 13th.

Republican congress has been forced upon it by the
Agricultural Bloc, of which Senator Kendrick is a mem
ber.
Mr. Mondell’s explanation of the Teapot Dome rease
was equal to no explanation whatever.’ He talked in
llarge figures of what the dame would produce and what
would be Wyoming’s share of the same for schools and
roads, and apparently attempted to bewilder his audience
by marshaling a group of unusually large and attractive
revenue figures to be derived from the dome and have
them forget the real question of the manner and method
of which the lease was secretly leased by the Republi
can administration to the Standard Oil interests.
In his uneasy and restless condidtion before the
crowd of Friday night Mr. Mondell forgot entirely to
say anything about the bonus bill.
He boasted of the inability of the Democratic ad-
cause another employee, however capable, became am
bitious to gain the other’s place. Assume, for example,
that for 25 years you had showered honors upon an em
ployee and because you had honored him and had re
posed confidence in him. he had gained a position of in
fluence among a certain wide circle of patrons whose co
operation you were most anxious to have. Assume
then, that disregarding all the honors you had given
him, he suddenly became ambitious to displace another
employee working in a different field who had also given
you great satisfaction, and came to you asking for the
other man s ojb, saying, “I know I am holding a very im
portant place, that by reason of my long service I have
gained special influence that nobody else can have with
these particular patros. I know that it is very import
ant to you that lou should have the benefit of this in
fluence, but I don’t care about that. I want this other
fellow s job- You can get some new and inexperienced
men for my place.” Do yo think you would discharge
one capable employee at the request of a man like that ?
ministration to enact legislation and paid particular at
tention to the oil and land leasing bill, which he accred
ited action of the Republication when it came into
power, when as a matter of fact the oil and land leasing
bill became a law in February, 1929, one year prior to
the inauguration of the Repblican administration.
We might continue on right down through the ad
dress of Mr. Mondell calling attention to the same class
of misstatements made at that gathering, but what is the
use. when his most enthusiastic admiders were not only
disappointed, but disgusted with the insincerity of the
address that evening. 3
The conclusion many have arrived at since the Mon
dell speech in Lovfll last Friday night, is that he made
more votes for Kendrick than any efforts that can possi
bly be put forth by the Democratic organization this
Os course you would not. But that’s exactly the sort of
a request Mr. Mondell is making to the people of Wy
oming. J
“He is now the leader of the Republican party in
the house. In that position he cauld do more for Wy
oming in the next two years than he could possibly hope

only because Wyoming has kept him in the house for a
long term of years. But he casts it aside as a worthless

‘‘Wyoming was pretty well satisfied with Warren

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
SAID MONDELL STANDS
FOR PRIVATE INTERESTS
On page 393 of Colonel Roose
velt s autobiography, Roosevelt,
speaking of the Wyoming Con
gressman, says: “He is a Con
gressman who took the lead in
every meaure to prevent the con
servation of our national resour
ces- and the preservation of the
national domain for the use of
homeseekers.”
That is not the only reference
Roosevelt makes to the Wyom
ing man in his book. On page
431 of the same book Teddy Sr
refers to “Mr. Mondell— who
consistently fought for local
and private interests as against
the interests of the people as a
whole."
“ABSENT”
The Republican press Is lamenting
the tact that Senator Kendrick has
absented himself from the Senate
from time to Uwe, but they are not
telling where he was nor what he w a s
doing, for tfhe fatets are, SenatFor
Kendrick went to France, at his own
expense, to see how the boys were
faring over there, and upon his re
turn to the Senate he made such a
fight against conditions a* they were
over there th a t the boys received
some relief.
