MONDELL MOURNS FOR MAN WHO BEAT HIM IN RACE FOR U.

S. SENATE One of the men defeated by th late Senator John B. Kendrick for public office Frank W. Mondell, for 25 years Wyoming's representative in congress wrote Governor Leslie A. Miller a letter received Friday expressing hij deep regret upon the death of the senator.

"We are all greatly shocked and grieved by Senator Kendrick's death," Mondell wrote from his Washington, D. law offices. "The state has indeed suffered a great loss in the passing of this earnest, capable, faithful and effective public servant. Like all who knew him well and enjoyed his confidence and friendship, I feel his loss very keenly. "We have at least the consolation of knowing that he lived to see the successful consummation of a great enterprise of development and reclamation in behalf of which he gave without stint or limit of his strength, his energy and his great influence.

"I mourn with you and with all h's friends the passing of this great champion of Wyoming." Senator Kendrick defeated Mondell, then majority floor leader-of house, in the senatorial campaign- of ild Uoather of Post I7c3ks Odd.

Postmas- Loud Hum of Political Bees Follows Announcement Of Jackson Man (By Claude McCracken) Plans for advancing the candidacy of State Senator William DeLoney went forward rapidly today despite the avowed intention of Governor les-lie Miller to name Joseph C. O'Mahoney to the United States senate. In Cheyenne, Attorney General Kay E. I.ee was upholding the legality of move; in Cheyenne Secretary of Stale A. M.

Clark was issuing a tirade against the same action of Miller: in Kemmerer Congressman Vincent Carter was disclaiming any intent to be a candidate to the senate scat made vacant by the death of Senator Kendrick; in Sheridan the candidacy of Judge James II. Burgess was advanced timorously, by a group of his friends and in Jackson DeLoney was pursuing his business as usual and awaiting the march of events which his friends hope will place him in the senate seat from which death removed John B. Kendrick, Activities throughout the state wcre not at a standstill, however, and perhaps the Democrats, some of them friends of Tom O'Neal there, felt that their hero had been slighted in thu senatorial selection; elsewhere there are pronounced disappointments that i John D- Clark or some one else has nut ''been chosen for the mini oy the wmm of an executive who desires to fill by appointment rather than by the will of the elector- tej.

10. 1933) The voters of Wyoming should be allowed to express by ballots their choice for United States senator to fill the vacancy resulting from the death of Senator John B. Kendrick, Secretary of State A. M. Clark told reporters today.

Mr. 'ark's statement outlining his attitude on the stand taken by Got. Lealie A. Miller that he intends to flu the vacancy by appoint ment, came following a query as to what action, if any, plana to adopt if an appointment made by the governor would be sent to him for certification. Regarding that question, he replied that he had not gone into the matter.

"I do not believe the citizens of Wyoming should be deprived of their legal right to vote for a United States senator," said Mr. Clark. "It seems to me to be as important to call a special election for this purpose as it was for the governor a short time ago to request a special election in Niobrara county to fill a vacancy in the state senate of that county, and much moi'e important to the people of Wyoming at the present time than a special session of the legislature. OPPOSES ONE MAN RULE "In the last campaign, I expressed the thought quite decidedly that I was in opposition to one-man government in this country and under our laws. I have not in any sense changed my view.

While 1 give the governor credit for all sincerity and the best of intentions yet my convictions in the past and at the present will not permit me to agree with him in this instance. Not only are we obligated as citizens of representative government to sustain our people in their constitutona right free expression of which the popular vote I chief, but in this case we are also bound by the wording of a mandatory statute. The law governing the situation was passed in December, 1929, with full support of both political patties. Governor Miller was then a member of the state senate and voted for the bill which became a law. "It is not for me, as I understand our form of government, nor for any individual or public officer to determine who shall go to the United States Senate nor to what party he shall belong, but it does seem to me this state and every other state to stand for the individual right of every elector to participate in government as one of his sovereign privileges under any true representative governmental form.

Most of the local legionaires were jruests at a banquet in the legion hall in the afternoon. A larpe turn-out was reported at the special show and dance at the Rainbow.

Deer Hunt Proves Costly to Three Mistaking Ewe For Quarry "Out of bounds" meant more on pun preserve than on the basketball court or the football field. That was learned this week by three young men from Cokeville, including a one-time basketball star of the Kem-merer high school. They had outfitted themselves with brand new rifles, red caps, licenses and other impedimenta, peculiar to ntmrods. The only thing they had neglected was to study the difference in formation, color and shape of deer and mountain sheep.

Armed with thei" licenses, weapons, and what not, they journeyed from their Lincoln county homes to the far reaches of the Jackson Hole country to prey upon the elusive deer, elk, or whatever happened to come within the range of their shining rifles. Passing the Ed Russell place, 32 miles east of Jackson, they spied their quarry. Huge deer, antlered and inviting, roamed the hillside. What a target for hunters in quest of such game! Ten times each rifle spoke. One of the animals fell to the ground and lay quivering- Another had a lower jaw shot from its face.

The remainder galloped away. Fred Deyo Called From a nearby window watched Mrs. Russell. A staunch believer in game preservation, she was angered at what she saw. So she sent her daughter to tell the young men to 4igitnd-h railed Fred warden in Jackson.

When the young woman reached the scene of the kill she found the three hunters rather ruefully examining a mountain ewe which had been felled by one of the lethal messengers. The young men were properly penitent when they learned of their error. Playing out of bounds, and killing a mountain ewe out of season and on a game preserve were some of the things they had done in violation of the coded statutes of the state of Wyoming. They were properly sorry and appeared before Justice of the Peace Lee Johnson, in Jackson where they plead guilty to the charges. (Continued on Page Eight) WYOMING STATE NEWS By CHARLES A.

COONEY (Special Correspondent) CHEYENNE, Nov. 16. Aside from proposed taxation bills drafted by the npecial legislative committee, more interest probably centers in the proposal creating a state department of finance, which would absorb many of the functions of government as well as certain control over local government units. Designated as House Bill 5, th'o measure provides among other things that the department of finance wo dd consist of a board of finance, a commissioner of finance, a director 0f taxation and subordinate officers. Present functions of separate state departments would be merged into the one department If the legislature approves the merger, the finance bureau would assume all functions of the state board of equalization together with those in its capacity as the public service commission, functions of the auditor, treasurer, state examiner, board of supplies, board of deposits, board of condemnation, highway boards of condemnation, board of wills and trusts, capitol building commission and aesistant budget officer.

In addition, it would assume administration of duties of the secretary of state relating to motor vehicle license taxes, all functions of the insurance commissioner relating to the administration of inheritance tax laws, all functions of the Insurance commissioner relating to insurance taxes, and all functions of other officers and agencies of the Btate involved in the administration of laws relating to the levying or imposing and collection of taxes and other charges (probably county treasurers and assessor). The board of finance would consist of the auditor, treasurer and. at its inception, the' present board of equalization. This board subsequently would lose ita Identity. The governor would appoint the commifaioner of finance, under terms the act.

The finance board would certify him a list containing id leant thie names fiom which he would e-lect the commissioner, whose appointment would go before the senate for ratification. If no appointment were made by the governor within 30 dayi after receiving the list, the board would select the commissioner.

CHEYENNE, Nov. 15., Governor Lealie A. Miller has issued to the press the following statement: "In considering a successor to the late Senator John B. Kendrick I am required to assume a very grave responsibility.

Never in the history of Wyoming have such matters of vital concern been at stake. Senator Ken drick has won many victories for the development of our state, the saving of the fruits of which must be our prime concern. It is therefore, my task and my responsibility now to select to represent Wyoming in the U. S. Senate the man who can best be expected to achieve these ends.
