The article comments on Brooks’s letters and Mullen’s fading role as Winter speeches falter. It notes CWBL signs on Brooks correspondence, warns about Wellman’s talk, and urges bringing back Hamlin as a mourner. It mocks state officials crying attack when truth is told and highlights machine politics promising fair dealing.
The article decries rising Wyoming state taxes during B. B. Brooks tenure, noting an increase of 223,275.96 dollars plus county and municipal levies compared with the last year of the prior administration. It argues taxes have risen about 50 percent in under six years, urging taxpayers to consider the impact of “machine domination” on state finances.
A dated 1910 communication signed by Enmore Chatterton attacks Judge Garey and criticizes former secretary of state Burdick. The missive accuses misused probity and political maneuvering, noting Burdick’s practice of ending letters with OWR-L to influence statements.
The first group of letters uncovers the identity linked to a stenographer. Fenimore Chatterton is named in a communication to J. M. Carey, with the dictation symbol OWB-L attached. Gracious indeed, stenographers can make embarrassing mistakes.
In an interview published last evening State Engineer Clarence T. Johnston denies taking work from companies in the state since his appointment. The piece notes an August 4, 1906 affidavit listing him as chief engineer of the Wyoming Central Irrigation Company and recalls affidavits from four years earlier.
The third installment reveals how three Wyoming state departments were used to pursue a vast land grab in the Wind River Indian Reservation. Tomorrow's issue promises to show a fourth department's role and the plan to secure title to the lands. The series urges Wyoming readers to a public duty.
The piece presents Awrenge R. Bresnaten as the leading Democratic mayoral hopeful in Cheyenne. It touts his past service, current stance on city issues, and belief he has the shrewd judgment and public-need awareness to lead. The article calls him the city’s "Man of the four" and a taxpayer-friendly choice.
The article reports a Cheyenne audience hearing Senator Warren and Governor Brooks respond to repeated questions about rising state expenses. Varying figures from 1900 to 1909 are cited, including trip costs and tax increases, with critics demanding explanations for graft and improper travel payments.
The Democratic party presents L Bresnahan as a nonpartisan businesslike leader. He has served three terms as mayor and one as state senator. He guided city water and park developments, persuaded Gould to fund a city subway, and helped secure railroad shops. The 1876 charter year brought land grants and rapid growth for Cheyenne under his leadership.
The article lauds Mr. Bresnahen for funding and leading Cheyenne’s water system rebuild and filtration era. It notes the Granite Springs reservoir project altered piping and highlights his personal and official efforts to develop the city. The piece endorses him as the ideal mayor candidate amid local complications.
