Carey, father of tha famous Carey act and for nearly forty years one of Wyoming's leading publio men, a llfe-lona; republican and who aay he la still a republican, but who, as the in-aurgent-republlcan-democrat candidate for governor last Tuesday upset all calcula tions and carried the state by an over whelming plurality against the candidate of the republican organization, was seen today and asked for an Interview. Judge Carey, aa he is more familiarly known, showed the effects of the strenuous cam palgn through which he had just passed, but appeared enthusiastic over the pros pects of his being able to Inaugurate re forms In tha affairs of the slate govern ment. In outlining the policies he would follow In the administration of Wyoming govern ment, Uovernor elect Carey said: I am deeply grateful to the people of Wyoming for the trust they bestowed upon me. 1 no not consider it a personal tri-, umph, but a triumph for the principles ad vocated by my associate, and myself. I am a republican and aa such was nom inated by the. democrats of this state. We were all workinK toward the same end. A clean, honest, economical government Is desired, and 1 shall use every effort In my power to see that such an administra tion is forthcvnilng. The people of Wyo mint? are deeply moved by the necessity of that character of legislation, which "is being urged by the progressive republicans and proa rcssl ve democrats all over the lulled Mutes. For Instance. a direct primary law, with a right to designate a preference as far as I'nlted States senators are concerned; a headless Australian bal lot, which will encourage Independent vot ing, and such legislation against corrupt practices as will insure as pure elections as possible under our sstem of govern ment. Also essential Is a commission sys tem or the entire elimination gf politics from city and town government; the plao lng of our educational, charitable and penal Institutions beyond partisan control and opportunities for personal aggrandize ment: the destruction of the machine gov ernment which has dominated the atate of Wyoming and added to the state expenses enormously; the elimination of double tax ation: equality In taxation between coun ties as well as Individuals. The people of the state were responsive. No money was used to corrupt them by my associates or myself, nor was the stuf flng of ballot boxes or the use of Illegal votes to influence the decision resorted to. Whether the fight will continue In an other campaign will depend upon the action taken as to the advance legislation re ferred to and as to whether such laws find a place upon our statute books at the com ing session of the legislature.

In fact, the antics of tha house at tlmea took on the appearance of a sore-heasled bear and at other times a grand orgle or a battle royal In a prise ring.
