CAMPAIGN KEYNOTE
Republican State
Convention Fires
Initial Artillery
Cheyenne, May 8, —“Our democrat
ic friends down under the blanket, are
not proud of the record of the past
three years of mistake and misrule”
aid Senator C. D. Clark in address
ing the Republican state convention
here today. “They are not basing
their hopes of success upon their mis- j
taken and un-American foreign poli- j
cy, nor upon the miserable mess in;
Mexico, nor upon the vicious assaultl
upon American producers and Ameri
can labor in their tariff legislation,
nor upon the discredited prophecies
and broken pledges of the Baltimore
platform. Upon all these they may
plead for votes, but from none nor all
of them do they in their hearts hope
for success. Their only real hope
and prayer and expectation for vic
tory is a divided republican party—
and for this hope they may as well
put on mourning right now. The
present administration is the result of
republican division, and while that
party makes fool mistakes occasion
ally, it don’t make the same blunder
twice running. We wrecked the
whole business last time, but this
year we have made different arrange
ments. Last time we were “throw
ing dynamite, but this year we are
making cement," and when the Nov
ember election comes our democratic
friends will find that we have built
up a solid American republican wall
against which the angry waves of an
extravagant, incompetent and discred
ited democracy will beat and break in
vain.”
“Which of the two great political
parties can be most confidently trust
ed to handle the administration of our
national affairs—domestic and for
eign—safely, wisely and with the best
possible results to the American peo
ple? The answer is so plainly writ
that he who runs may read. There
is no need of calling up the ghosts of
former inefficient democratic adminis
trations or of former democratic fail
ures to meet industrial conditions.
The last three years are or should be
a conclusive and sufficient answer to
the question.
“The year 1912 found this nation on
the highway of prosperity, with the
good will of most nations and the re
spect of all and with the path of nat
ional honor and national consequence
stretching straight before us. Our
treasury was overflowing; our current
receipts from customs and internal
revenues were more than enough to
support the ordinary expenses of the
government; in addition thereto from
those same revenues had largely come
the funds to build the Panama canal,
and there was remaining a safe and
satisfactory balance for any and all
possible contingencies, save only the
contingency of democratic national
success, ar.d that contingency as has
often been demonstrated, is one that
no mortal wisdom or wit can always
provide against and one the evil ef
ects of which can never be success-

fully overcome until the next suc
ceeding election.
“On March 4, 1913, the democratic
party took over the administration in
full the administrative and legis
lative affairs of the government; and
I believe to have been true that, while
the votes cast for democratic success
were in a decided minority of all
votes cast, yet there has seldom been
an administration launched with a
greater supply of goodwill from all
the country. In some way or other
by personal exaltation of their candi
date, by skillful assertion and spec
ious promise in the Baltimore plat
form and continued iteration and re
iteration of their own supreme wis
dom and righteousness, they not only
put over on the American people the
same old game, but had gone so far
as to succeed in convincing many of
our citizens of the wisdom of their
policies, the purity of their intentions
and the inviolability of their plat
form promises. So I say they enter
ed upon the task entrusted to them
with the general confidence and good
will of the American people, and as a
starter in a business way there was
turned over to them a full treasury
with a most liberal and all-sufficient
working balance of nearly one hundred
and fifty million dollars and no partic
ular trouble in sight. And then the
wreckers began to get busy!
“If there is one thing above anoth
er that a real Simon-pure, dyed-in
the-wool democrat hates it is a pro
tective tariff. He believes in hitting
any republicar.-made tariff whether
good or bad at the first opportunity.
So intent were they in knocking out
NORTHERN WYOMING HERALD
the protective features they entirely
overlooked the necessary revenue on
ly supplying the deficiency in part by
taxes direct and inquisatorial. The
result of their tinkering soon mani
fested itself. The splendid free bal
ance in the treasury—one hundred and
forty-nine million dollars on June 30,
1913, the last full fiscal year of rep
ublican tariff, went glimmering. At
the present moment, but for the jug
gling of figures and the accounting of
liabilities as assets, the national treas
ury would have the utmost difficulty
in meeting anything but the most or
dinary expenses of the government
and this notwithstanding the aid of
the income and so-called‘war’ taxes.
These so-called ‘war’ taxes, as all well
know, were authorized and levied not
to meet extra and unusual expenses
caused by the war, but to meet and
cover up deficiencies in revenue caus
ed by democratic legislation and
wasteful extravagance caused by a
reckless congress and a foolish admin
istration. There has been little or
no extra expense caused by the war.
No appreciable increase of appropri
ation has been even remotely con
nected with the war or dependent upon
it. The possible increases in our ar
my and navy or other scheme of pre
paredness have not yet made one dol
lar charge on the pocketbook of the
nation. The inquisitorial and direct
taxes now being collected and paid,
and the iritating so-called ‘war’ tax
and stamps, and all the new and un
usual revenue raisers, are only devis
ed and collected to meet the constant
ly increasing dificit caused by short
sighted democratic legislation and
reckless democratic extravagance.
Our imports continue practically in
the same amounts as before the war,
but thanks to the democratic tariff
law our customs receipts have been
cut to the quick.
“Our friends the democrats point
with much pride to the fact that the
country at large i at this time en
joying a season of great prosperity;
that labor is fully employed; that
transportation facilities are taxed to
capacity and that the American pro
ducer is receiving most satisfactory
prices for his commodities. This is
in a large measure true, but the cause
of this feverish acceleration is not
bard to • .ml. It had its origin and
' ‘ not in wi'.e le islation, either up
on the tariff or in other lines. It is
; : olely and ntirely by the nec

the very significant fact that in the

government itself is starving and the
treasury of the United States on the■
verge of bankruptcy owing to the |
mistaken and blundering tariff legie- j
latkm. This war must close in time,
and then our swollen exports will stop
and our producers and manufacturers

the democratic party would surrender
to the foreign producer and to for
eign labor.

* STOCK-FARMING THE MANIFEST *
* *
* DESTINY OF WYOMING *
* *
******** ********
That the great state of Wyoming is rapidly coming into her own and that
the way of her manifest destiny lies along the stock-farming route, are the
observations made by the Omaha Drovers’ Stockman-Journal in a recent
article under the heading “Wyoming’s Destiny." The editorial, as showing
how the state looks “as others see us,” is of interest to Wyoming people.
The Journal says:
For a good many years Wyoming was the leading range cattle state in the
northwest and the raising of cattle was undoubtedly the leading industry.
This was in the days of the open range. Later the sheepmen fought the
cattle interests and for several years the sheep business flourished while the
cattle industry waned. Still later “the man with the hoe” stepped in and
for awhile his activities tended to displace both the cattlemen and the
sheepmen and to a certain extent this evolution is still in progress.
The agricultural and grazing resources of the state have been so great
that there has been a vigorous conflict for their possession ever since when
white men entered the country but happily the logic of the situation ami
the good sense of the people have brought order out of chaos and now with
cordial co-operation of all interests the state has entered on a period of
great prosperity. The advent of the homesteader is no longer regarded
as a calamity by stockgrowers and the growing of crops, together with stool;
if now the leading industry of the state.
That this combination is proving a winner for the state is shown in
increase in quantity and the improvement in the quality of the cattle.
Last year Omaha rec.-ived a total of 114,795 head of cattle from Wyom
ing against 90,076 head in 1914, an increase of over 24,000 head, the improve- &
ment in the quality and condition of the cattle beng even more marked than I
the gain in numbers.
Wyoming is a fine example of the new order of things in the west and it
is the manifest destiny of the state to be one of the greatest if not the
greatest stock farming sections of the entire country.
Sheep raisers and feeders have been enjoying a period of unprecedented
proeperity for several months and under ordinary circumstances it might
be expected that the big profits realized from the production of mutton and
wool would greatly stimulate breeding. As a matter of fact, however, there
are no reports of any increase in sheep raising in any section of the country.
The dog nuisance in the east is an effective bar to mutton production there
while the steady influx of settlers and the constant restriction of grazing
territory in the west prevent any increase in that direction. It looks like
j u case of growing demand for mutton and wool with little or no prosper;
,of any increase in the supply produced in this country. Under no circuit;
stances can flockmasters take a very comfortable view of the situation.
The only menace to their continued prosperity is the prospect of free mut
ton and wool from Australis and South America and this is not likely to
rut very much of a figure so long as the war in Europe continues and for
some time afterwards.
