A1 6 Star-Tribune. Casper, Wvo VVi dnesday, Nov. 5, 1 986 AP declares Cheney winner if iyVjf bid to join him in Congress. Among the incumbent governors easily winning new terms were two mentioned as possible 1988 presidential candidates Democrats Mario Cuomo of New York and Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts, as well as Republican George Deukmejian of California. Gov.

Bob Graham claimed Florida's Senate seat for the Democrats by defeating Hawkins, one of a handful of vulnerable GOP freshmen whose fate held the key to Senate control. Appointed Sen. James Broyhill in North Carolina also fell, to former Gov. Terry Sanford. Still vulnerable as the votes were being tallied were freshman colleagues Mack Mattingly of Georgia, James Abdnor of South Dakota, Slade Gorton of Washington, Mark Andrews of North Dakota and Bob Kastcn of Wisconsin.

Congress Continued from A 1 rematch and Bob Martinez won in Florida. Republican Kay Orr was elected Nebraska's governor in a two-woman race. But the main event of a nasty, expensive mid-term campaign was the battle for supremacy in the Senate. "If there was a Reagan revolution, it's over," claimed House Speaker Thomas O'Neill as he headed into voluntary retirement. O'Neill's House seat was won by Joseph Kennedy II.

Asked why the Republicans lost some seats. White House spokesman Larry Speakes cited "various slate issues." He said (he president's ambitious campaigning turned many of the races involving Republicans who won on his coailails in 1980 into close contests. Speakes conceded that a Democratic Senate "could be tougher" for the president, "but il won't alter the agenda." But there was no denying the difference it would make. The president's legislative achievements were first enacted by a GOP-con-trollcd Senate, then pushed through the House against the wishes of bitterly opposed Democratic leaders. Dole, in an interview with CBS, said Reagan would notice the difference most clearly in his judicial nominations.

Under the seniority system, the new chairman of the Democratic-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee will be one of two liberals, either Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts or Joseph Biden of Delaware. Some of the Democratic chairman will be more conservative, that the Republicans they replace. One early winner among House Democrats was Rep. Jim Wright of Texas, in line to replace O'Neill Jr. as Speaker when the new Congress convenes.

Kennedy son of the late Robert Kennedy and nephew of the late president, won his race with ease. His sister Kathleen Kennedy Townsend lost in Maryland in her CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) U.S. Rep. Dick Cheney, who admitted his campaign for a fifth term as Wyoming's lone delegate in the U.S.

House of Representatives was his cheapest ever, said Tuesday he was pleased with the margin of his victory over Democrat Rick Gilmore. "It was a good margin, obviously," Cheney said of the 70 percent majority vote he held with 326 of the state's 474 precincts reporting. "I am delighted with it." According to unofficial returns, Cheney had 60,419 of the votes cast in 69 percent of the state's precincts, compared to Gilmore's 31,735. Cheney was declared the winner in the race by The Associated Press early in Tuesday's general election, despite an apparently cavalier campaign. Gilmore, who was making his first run for office, attacked Cheney's representation of the state from the day he announced his bid for the Democratic nomination.

Gilmore ran an aggressive anti-Cheney campaign throughout the primary and maintained the attack through the general election campaign. He even admitted he brushed aside his Pemocralic primary opponents in 'favor of a direct attack on the man he was likely to face in the general election. The Cheyenne businessman didn't ignore issues, coming out in support of a fee on imported oil as a way to bolster the sagging domestic oil industry. Gilmore also called for barriers on im- Natrona Continued from Al Evans. Evans, 39, defended his record, and his "success" as a prosecutor was emphasized in his campaign.

In a radio advertisement, Evans claimed he has a "98 percent success rate in felony cases." But Meenan said Evans' "definition of success I think is probably different than mine. I think what's important is how a case is What kind of preparation goes into the case and what kind of judgments are made on a case." Evans' campaign claimed that his office has a policy against plea bargaining felonies to misdemeanors. Those claims were attacked by Meenan as false. Evans was elected district attorney in 1982, and before that served as a deputy district attorney from 1980-83. Meanwhile, in the sheriff's race, Republican Ketchum clearly was the winner from the beginning in his race against Terry.

Ketchum got 63.7 percent of the votes cast in the 50 precincts. Terry had 36.3 percent of the votes or 8,461 ballots while Ketchum had 14,871 votes. Terry was not available for comment, but his campaign manager, Dennis Fransted said, "There's not to say. I think both candidates worked very hard. the volunteers worked At first the 63-year-old Smith decided to leave his office and run for governor, but later dropped out of the race when the gubernatorial primary field grew to eight.

Despite assurances to fellow Republican Lee Galeotos that he would not again run for treasurer if Galeotos decided to run, Smith nevertheless reversed himself and ran, handily winning renomina-tion. Democrat Orrison, meanwhile, called for better use of the state's investments, saying that Wyoming has a $2.5 billion investment portfolio "and we need to maximize our return on investment of these funds." Smith said he had done just that. Dollar Pancakes Galore If you're Still Hungry Holler For More CHICKEN COOPoV 237-1132 1 nnDDl 1040 NORTH CENTER I) CS3 Mt 1 'ill. Iran Continued from Al tempt by Washington to mend relations with the Islamic government of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The United States broke diplomatic relations with Iran in 1979 when the U.S.

Embassy was seized and Americans taken hostage. Rafsanjani said McFarlane brought a Bible signed by Reagan and a cake that he described as "a key to open relations." Terry Waite, a special representative of the archbishop of Canterbury who has been closely involved in efforts to win freedom for the hostages held in Lebanon, was asked about a possible Iranian and Syrian role in Jacobscn's release, but he refused to comment. Waite told a news conference in West Germany, however, thai there were "reasonably strong suggestions" that the next two hostages to be released would be Associated Press chief Middle East correspondent Terry Anderson State Continued from Al lineup would stay the same. In Carbon County, the Senate seat formerly held by a Democrat who is stepping down appeared to be going to a Republican newcomer. Conversely in Sheridan County the Senate seat formerly held by a Republican appeared to be going to a Democrat switching from the House to the Senate.

No judges appeared to be in danger of being voted out of office in the early returns. In Fremont County, unofficial final results showed one incumbent Republican, Bob Baker of Dubois, losing his seat to Democratic challenger Eli Bebout. The other four incumbents, three Republicans and one Democrat, held their seat against three more challengers. In the hotly contested Lander mayor's race, retiring county commissioner Max Kail lost to Joyce Jansa in a vote of 1,223 to 1,330 in the unofficial final count. In Laramie County, with all precincts reporting, the unofficial result showed two new Democrats would be sent to the House and one incumbent Republican in the House was defeated.

The count showed legislative newcomers Democrat Steve Freu-dcnthal, former Wyoming attorney general, and Guy Cameron winning House seats. Incumbent Republican April Brimmer Kunz trailed in 1 1th place in the race for nine House seats. Democrat Ken Burns stepped down this year. The other seven incumbents, four Democrats and three Republicans, appeared to be holding their seats. In the Laramie County Senate race incumbent Democrats Win Hickey and Jim Norris held their seats against Republican challenger Stephen Kline.

In early returns in the hotly contested sheriff's race, incumbent Democrat Sheriff Rudy Restivo appeared to be winning easily over a challenge by Republican Larry Gienapp, a former Laramie County sheriff's officer. Laramie County voters also appeared to be approving the one-cent tax by a vote of 7,142 to 3,852. In Albany County, where a one-cent tax has never been assessed, the general one-cent tax appeared to be winning by a vote of 5,197 to 2,715 with 26 of 30 precincts reporting, and the additional facilities one-cent tax appeared to be winning by a vote of 4,519 to 3.239. In the county's House race, newcomer Republican Terry Guice appeared to be winning the seat left vacant by Republican Don Lamb stepping down. The county's three incumbents, two Democrats and one Republican, appeared to be holding their seats against three other challengers.

The Iranian news agency said that in response to continued re' quests for Tehran's mediation to secure the release of the French and American hostages, Rafsanjani listed Iran's conditions. He said Washington and Paris must guarantee the return of Iranian assets seized after the revolution, recognize the rights of Lebanese Moslems and free political prisoners in Israel and other parts of the world. Rafsanjani also said in his speech that the prime minister of Japan had sent a letter asking'lran to use its influence to secure the release of American and French hostages.

The speaker said he had informed Tokyo that Iran would make efforts in that direction if the United Stales ships weapons purchased by the government of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, but not delivered. According to the news agency's report, Rafsanjani said McFarlane and the four others carried Irish passports with duplicates now being kept by Iranian officials, who also have recordings of conversations between the White House and the envoys. The plane on which the Americans arrived was carrying military supplies that Iran had bought from international dealers, the speaker said. He said that immediately after their arrival at Tehran's Mehrabad Airport, the uninvited guests told airport immigration officials that they were Americans "with a special message for Iranian officials from the U.S. president." The pro-Syrian Lebanese magazine Al-Shiraa, said McFarlane's mission in Tehran was to discuss an end to Iran's support for terrorist groups and provided U.S.

military spare parts as encouragement. Casper Continued from Al cilities. In the past, the tax was the primary source of funds to erect new structures, some of which now require subsidies from year-to-year operating funds. The aim this time around is to "take care of what we have," according to City Manager Wes McAllister. Toward that end, both the city and county have pledged their first revenues under the 1987-88 tax to a permanent investment fund, the interest from which will pay for major repair work at facilities built under earlier One Cent programs.

Casper has earmarked $2.5 million to the permanent fund; the county has earmarked $600,000. The tax was eyed by Natrona County Sens. Tom Stroock and Charles Scott as a way to fund an upper-division program on the Casper College campus, possibly in conjuction with the University of Wyoming. The college, in negotiations with UW over control of the upper-division curriculum and faculty, had no funds of its own to operate the extra programs needed to make four-year degrees available in Casper. One Cent Sales Tax Committee members, however, were put off by the college's demand that it get $5 million in One Cent fund more than half of the city's expected revenue from the two-year tax.

The college also insisted it be first in line for the money to guarantee the full $5 million would be available. The sales tax committee balked at the demands, and asked the college in early October to withdraw its proposal. The college's inability to secure an agreement with UW also worked against One Cent funding, the committee said.

The Democrat maintained that his policies would almost assure full employment for Wyoming. He said that Cheney, on the other hand, was simply a mouthpiece for the Reagan administration who was seeking a power base in the Republican congressional leadership. Cheney, the popular at-large congressman, first was elected to the U.S. House in 1978. He has followed administration guidelines but does support a fee on imported oil and has voiced support for other measures that would help the domestic energy industry.

very hard. For myself, I have no. grapes. It was a long and a hard campaign." Fransted said Ketchum's huge lead was unexpected. "We thought it was going to be much closer." "They came out very, very strong," and the margin was wider "than we anticipated," Fransted said.

Ketchum attributed his win to "all the people who helped, who believed in me. When they were out selling me, the people they were talking to believed also." The Republican said he had "some idea" his lead would be as large as it was, "but you never know until the vote is down." As sheriff, Ketchum, 38, said he probably will retain most of the current staff. "I think that in most instances, all the people down there will have a job," he said. He called for support for Benton, "as they have supported me, because I believe he will do an excellent job." Ketchum said his race was easier because of Sheriff John Barrett "and the job that he has done in moving the Natrona County office to the place it is now." Ketchum said he hoped to make the department "an example" for the state. Terry, 60, was a sheriff deputy for more than 14 years before assuming the Mills post.

In running for auditor, Tucker considered his scientific background a natural plus for the job as the state's check writer. The 43-year-old was a newcomer to politics, but said his career in the minerals industry would be helpful to the auditor's office in its dealings with mineral royalties. Sidi's run for auditor brought an end to his 16 years in the Legislature. He and Tucker probably would not have exchanged words during the campaign if not for Sidi's suggestion that the state Liqour Commission be abolished. Sidi said private industry could easily replace the commission, make higher profits and return higher tax revenues to the state.

He's run a good race and he's won it. And I think it behooves all of us right now to try to get behind him and respond to what he wants." Wallop said it would be a "very difficult task to overcome the number of votes" Sullivan has over Simpson three-fourths of the way into election results. Simpson campaign manager Tom Kinnison earlier had predicted a 1,200 vote difference between Simpson and Sullivan. The tenor of supporters and tired staff members quieted as a boisterous seven piece band left, along with most of the 200 supporters, and the 20 foot waterfall, the background of Simpson's podium where GOP leaders said he would declare a "watershed victory," was turned off. Earlier Simpson had termed the initial lead of Sullivan "to be expected" since the precincts reporting are primarily from Natrona County, Sullivan's "home area." "We would hope to get a little closer to that, and we would hop-the precincts would come in an give us a little stronger offset in Natrona County," Simpson said.

His early morning run on election day was "terrific," Simpson said. He even saw two butterflies, he said. "In November, you know that's a little odd, so that was a wonderful run." Simpson said running "clears the cobwebs. been a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience. So you think about those things and on a sunshiney day in the State of Wyoming, boy, you don't have many worries when you're looking at that." Kinnison predicted earlier that if there is a high voter turnout of about 78 percent the split between the two gubernatorial candidates would be 56 percent for Simpson and 44 percent for Sullivan.

The late returns showed virtually the opposite result. Statewide Continued from Al Roncalio. Some sparks were generated when Simons and Meredith considered how to finance the schools in times of falling tax revenue. Simons said next year's projected $92 million shortfall in state's Education Foundation Program might require new taxes, including a "last resort" additional one-cent sales tax earmarked for education. Meredith at first agreed with Simons, calling for tax hikes as a last resort.

Then he flatly denied he had said so. Finally, when confronted with transcripts of his initial statements, he reversed himself again, saying a tax increase may be necessary. LOSE UP TO 20 LBS!

The college's withdrawal spajk-ed Scott to predict the One Cent tax would not win voter renewal without an upper division as one of the proposed projects.

Beyond the permanent repair fund, Casper plans to spend the balance of its expected $9 million from the tax on a consolidated emergency dispatch center that would eliminate independent dispatching operations by the city, county, Metro Animal Control and possibly Evansville. The county will participate equally in the combined center, which will feature an advanced emergency 91 1 telephone system. Officials predict a consolidated dispatch operation will save money mainly by cutting existing dispatching jobs. Casper also plans to spend $1.25 million to fund the Casper Area Economic Development Alliance, a public-private coalition established to develop industry. Natrona County has pledged $300,000 to the alliance.

Other proposed Casper projects include street improvements, restoration work to a city water reservoir and to 57 parks areas, an upgraded fire-department radio system, storm sewers, new filtration piping at the water treatment plant, a riverside pathway and improvements to the Paradise Valley water and sewer system. Proposed county projects include a Mills branch of the Natrona County Public Library and funds to buy land adjacent to the downtown branch to prepare for future expansion. Also proposed are storm sewers in Mountain View and a shelter to replace the Youth Crisis Center, which officials say is overcrowded.
