A brief notice lists a delivery rate of 1.50 dollars per month for mornings including Sunday and directs readers to address complaints of irregular delivery to T Joe Cahill City Circulator at the office by phone 93.
The Leader accuses Chairman Carson and the Board of County Commissioners of violating Wyoming law by bypassing public bidding for the Crow Creek bridge project. It argues the contract was secretly awarded to Pueblo Bridge Co at their price, demanding accountability and more disclosures before elections.
An editorial-like critique portrays Taft as dangerous to wool and range economies, aligning him with Roosevelt and Pinchot against western sheep industries. It argues free range limits, tariff shifts, and trusts favor the eastern crowd, urging Wyoming readers to oppose Taft and his allies.
A chaotic OCR fragment shows proposed bills to Congress by President Roosevelt and Baron Plachot aiming to withdraw 340,000,000 acres of western public lands from settlement. The text references improvements under gracing permits and public land laws with unclear garbled phrases about value thresholds and allotments.
A fiery critique denounces a federal land proposal as a theft of public lands. It claims five sixths of Wyoming would be federal controlled, barred from settlement, and leased to big cattle syndicates, urging readers to oppose Taft.
The piece argues Taft aligned with Roosevelt’s western land and forest plan led by Pinchot. It alleges misuse of federal power to harass settlers, cites arrests, taxes, timber sales, and calls Taft a mere heir to Roosevelt policies. It condemns federal overreach and imperial framing of land control.
The text questions Harriman’s character as an “undesirable citizen” raised by President Roosevelt and discussed by Taft supporters. It accuses Roosevelt of coercing Harriman funds years ago and asks voters to consider whether workers on Harriman roads share the same label and should back Taft. The piece contemplates how much money would be needed to rehabilitate Harriman’s image.
