A political argument claims Wyoming must elect Carey to break a grafting machine in state government. It asserts the Republican ticket embodies machine influence, pledging to end treasury drain and promote principled governance in the November 8 election.
The Republican platform endorses Governor Brooks administration noting a dramatic rise in Wyoming state expenses. Officials show expenditures for the early Brooks years up 81 percent from the last year of Penimore Chatterton’s term, with figures starting at $451,567.34 and rising into 1909.
The piece condemns Governor Brooks and the Republican machine for rising state costs. It notes five years of increased government expense by $397,429.26 and about $1,087 more per day in the fifth year vs Chatterton’s last year. The writer predicts a near end to the “ring” regime and calls for a taxpayer revolution.
The piece argues that clear understanding and independent thinking erode rigid party lines. It claims voters now judge by principle, not party, and asserts J. M. Carey as right and electable as an Independent Republican on the Democratic ticket. Party fanaticism is portrayed as a relic of the past.
The 1910 levy shows J. M. Carey & Bro properties in Converse, Natrona, and Niobrara counties with valuations of 262 248 in Converse yielding 1 008 82 in tax, 157 005 in Natrona yielding 2 000 001, and 125 243 less than Converse in Niobrara with a tax 121 79 higher in Natrona. The figures invite analysis of valuation versus tax outcomes and the peculiarities of Wyoming tax operation.
