Bill Barlow recounts Wyoming GOP sentiment at the Lander convention. Delegates voted to go unpledged to Chicago, with Taft instructed by some counties and others resisting. The piece argues for Roosevelt as next president and critiques the Cheyenne Tribunes’ influence on the campaign.
A collage of comments and notices from varied sources includes a mock debate on cures for panic, criticism of Lander convention seating, jokes about air castles and planetary motion, a Pittsburg baseball contract claim, tariff disputes over wood pulp, a jail inmate seeking release, a poem line request, weather cheer for dry farmers, timber industry jibes, and a caution on Roosevelt’s post presidency plans.

Osborne disclaimed aid and ambition but warned that if appointed, a long lanky chief forester named Pinchot would be hiking for the tall timber and oblivion shortly after taking office.

The Natrona Tribune notes the oddity and hints the Lander brewery's influence on the delegation.
