A 12 Jackson Hole Guide, Wednesday, March 29, 1989 Democrats select Vinich by unanimous consent Faces Craig Thomas in election HABERSHAM PLANTATION fffio "X10 under way." According to McDaniel, he and Rep. Eli Bebout of Fremont County will serve as joint campaign coordinators for the Vinich campaign; former U. S. Sen. Teno Roncalio and state Sens.

Winifred Hickey and Frank Prevedel will serve as honorary co-chairmen; state Reps. Scott Ratliff and Lynn Dickey will be Vinich's field coordinators; Sara Gorin of Laramie will be in charge of scheduling; Steve Pince of Fremont County is volunteering as another coordinator; and Glen Campbell of Cheyenne will serve as the Democrat's press representative. Vinich received more than $7,500 in campaign contributions immediately following Saturday's election in Casper, McDaniel said, adding that many checks have come in since then. And, he said, the staff is beginning a statewide solicitation effort, but he did not speculate on how much the month-long campaign will cost. Although they have not yet begun advertising their candidate, the Democrats plan to begin to do so by the end of this week, McDaniel said.

"Organizationally," he said, "the focus of the campaign will be grass roots, aimed at the precinct level to get out the vote." In addition, he said, Vinich has already begun to travel throughout the state, though his appearance in Teton County has not yet been scheduled. Republicans could not be reached for comment Tuesday about plans for the Thomas campa ign. By Diane Eastridge Staff Writer The Democratic State Central Committee Saturday selected Fremont County state Sen. John Vinich to represent its party in a race against Republican state Rep. Craig Thomas, R-Natrona, to fill the U.S.

House seat recently vacated by Dick Cheney. Vinich received 49 of the 66 committee votes cast at the public meeting in Casper, and was elected by unanimous consent. Vinich was the leading Democratic candidate based on his showing in last November's general election, when he lost narrowly in a bid to defeat incumbent U.S. Sen. Malcolm Wallop.

Thomas was nominated by his party's state central committee from a field of 11 candidates after an ballot-elimination process in Casper Friday. The two candidates will face off in a special election April 26 for the seat that Cheney resigned on March 17, after the Senate unanimously approved his nomination as secretary of defense. The two candidates have agreed to a televised debate on the evening of April 12, and a joint appearance at the Rotary Qub in Casper two days etirlier, according to Roger McDaniel, one of Vinich's campaign managers. More debates are expected, he said. On Tuesday, less than 72 hours after Vinich was nominated, McDaniel announced the names of the campaign staff and said the campaign was 'well iissdl boards and an extensive lineof wood and upholstered furniture in the tradition of American folk art and fine craftsmanship.
