Monday, August 18, 1924. Wyoming for Wyomingites. The 1924 primary, and its echo in 2024.

France withdrew from  Offenburg and Appenweier as a gesture of good faith on France's part to enact the London pact.

The sole two remaining US aircraft attempting to fly around the world were damaged attempting to take off while overloaded in Reykjavik, Iceland.

It was the day before Wyoming's 1924 primary election.  The Wyoming State Tribune urged that Wyoming be for Wyomingites:



In a year in which Wyoming has seen out of state entities attempt to heavily influence the election, this editorial means as much today as it did then. 

Why, we should ask, have PACs centered elsewhere tried to back candidates here, and why should we let them try to influence our elections?
