Favors Prohibition by Wyoming Governor Kendrick
Gov. Kendrick voiced support for prohibition aligning Wyoming with Montana and Colorado after noting 80 percent of penitentiary inmates are there due to alcohol related issues. He praised state institutions, fiscal health with a small bonded debt, and praised the Worland boys Industrial school and Lander home for the feeble minded. He cited a new law restricting murder victims' estates and life insurance benefits, and reported on bankers association officers in Casper.
