The text accuses Judge Carey of a campaign of education built on distorted figures and falsehoods. It cites various speeches and stenographic reports from Laramie, Kemmerer, Cheyenne, and Rawlins, referencing tax laws, land exchanges, and university land values, alleging deliberate misrepresentation by Carey and allies.
In a Wyoming dispute, Judge Carey asserts taxes and state levies grew under the current administration, challenging earlier figures. He cites figures from 1905 to 1910 and argues residents deserve clarity on per acre land values, state expenditures, and constitutional land disposal rules amid heated accusations.
The Republican State Central Committee warns voters that the Carey ticket relies on late charges and accusations from paid agents.

The committee urges skepticism toward any statements made at this campaign stage.
The article argues Judge J. M. Carey opposes the modern Wyoming tax system calling it burdensome and infamously administered. It cites his Natrona county holdings and alleged tax avoidance under the new plan, contrasting it with broader tax shifts affecting cattlemen, woolgrowers, farmers, and railroads in 1910.
Judge Carey’s campaign rests on an appeal to prejudice accusing state funds of waste and tax hikes. Four charges are listed with minimal substantiation: a Chicago trip costing $162 plus $2,500 for dry farm use. $300 in veterinary fees denied. a $600 travel expense by Hall and Williams showing savings. and $100 for New Orleans waterways.

It notes manufacturing, merchandizing, per head taxes, land and improvements, town lots, and railroad contributions, highlighting higher payments by big corporations and Judge Carey’s statements amid contract debates.
Governor Brooks rebuts Judge Carey’s circular “Facts-Consider Them Well” with state tax and spending figures. He cites 1908–1910 tax shifts in Laramie County showing relief for small taxpayers, notes state funds on deposit, and counters claims of fiscal extravagance and salary increases. Carey forces plan further unfair claims before election.
The piece questions Carey and Brooks administration taxes in Converse County. It cites Carey & Bro returns for 1905 and 1906 with amounts listed as taxes paid and dodged, totaling 3,250.89 over four years. The banner accuses Carey of claiming clean hands while presenting disputed figures and alleged dodged taxes.
The opposite page presents a full page statement of Wyoming’s financial affairs for 1905 through 1910. Figures 1905–08 come from former State Examiner Henderson, 1909–10 from Deputy State Treasurer F B Sheldon. Taxpayers are urged to study this official record.
The Denver Post debates Carey’s gubernatorial bid and possible senatorial aims in Wyoming. It notes Warren’s dominance, the Clark candidacy, and Osborne’s contested residency as a broker of a two-year shift. The piece argues Carey would face Clark or Warren, depending on timing, with Osborne maneuvering to capitalize on a lean election year.
In a speech at the Encampment on October 12 1910 Judge Carey traced Wyoming growth over twenty years.
