The piece warns of a doctored map alleging Governor Kendrick monopolizes about ten thousand acres in northern state lands. It recalls a previous misleading map from four years ago and mocks the planned distribution of the new graphic to sway public opinion, foreshadowing a larger counterattack if facts align with today’s land dispute.
A letter accuses Republicans of map making to scrutinize Warren state lands, noting 46 000 acres bought under a state land board and suggesting double standards with Governor Kendrick’s land purchases. The writer claims legality and parity, urging scrutiny of party bias.
A state article argues Governor Kendrick praised Campbell county lands as farmable, but the author warns not all U S land is suited to farming. The Tribune’s optimism is challenged as Wyoming contains rocky, gravelly, and uneven areas that resist cultivation, including the Sherman hills.
The Tribune asserts coal lands bought by the governor are reserved and none were purchased. It notes a state land tract yields 75 000 dollars yearly and accuses Frank Curtis, once partner of Senator Clarence D. Clark, of seeking to strip that section from state control. It questions the senator's loyalty if he returns to the U S Senate and owes Curtis a favor.
The piece depicts Senator Clarence J. Clark as obstructionist in Washington. It notes an amendment to the parcels post bill would strip the postmaster general of extension powers, a change defeated after Clark opposed it. It claims Clark did not vote on the measure and was absent on the Adamson eight hour bill, arguing his absence aided railroad interests.
A Tribune interview ties Clarence Hamlin to $25,000 shipped to Wyoming and Chicago, while Pat Sullivan denies funds from Colorado. The piece predicts a Democratic sweep in November with Warren Clark Mondell and Pat O’Connor prominent in Natrona County.
The text argues for equal pay for women at $6 per day and praises Mr Wilson for advancing equal rights and suffrage, claiming he surpasses Mr Hughes in commitment to gender equality and progressivism. It frames equal rights as a broader principle for both sexes.
The Tribune weighs state resource use and land leases as a tax relief plan. Land Commissioner Hopkins pursues this idea, asking if Wyoming should retain Governor Kendruck lands and earn about 100 a year from leases versus 81 000 a year in interest, to ease taxation.
The text questions Kendrick's purchase of northern Wyoming grazing lands, arguing they are low value for farming and implying the state would keep them if not bought. It asks whether Wyoming citizens want Kendrick to return the lands, noting a potential hundred thousand dollar outcome.
A report notes twenty five thousand dollars spent in Wyoming to back Clarence Don Chirk for the United States Senate. The text also claims corporate funds from Wall Street and fast-bleary corporations were sent to Wyoming to influence the senatorial race against the will of Wyoming voters.
The piece promotes voting for the Democratic slate led by Jaramie Goshen and Platte for a strong ticket in Carpenter Landau and Moore for the Senate. It lists Hunter Olds Carroll Gibson Mitchell Natwick Palmer Sampson Hemphill Beaver as candidates.

Dr. W. T. Hornaday criticizes Mondell for hampering game refuges and urges Wyoming to elect Jack Clark, a strong defender of wildlife and forest protection. He notes Clark supports game protection and Wyoming’s resources, contrasting with Mondell’s opposition and alleged constitutional objections.
A letter and a reply discuss the legality and expense of deputies under county assessor Smalley. The analysis compares 1915 costs in Laramie and Sheridan counties, population and valuation differences, and questions whether a special law was crafted to justify Smalley’s staffing. The piece argues the 1915 law did not repeal existing rules and calls out potential political motivation.
