But all seemed uncertain about what the election of Democrat Bill Clinton to the presidency would mean to Wyoming and the nation. Some strong forces hope, skepticism, or relief were clearly drawing a large number of citizens to the polls.

Please see PEOPLE, A12 By JOAN BARRON Star-Tribune capital bureau CHEYENNE Wyoming Republicans achieved their election goal of making the Legislature "veto-proof in both chambers, general election results show.

During the past two years, Republicans in the Senate were able to muster the two-thirds vote necessary to override any veto by Democratic Gov. Mike Sullivan if the party 's members stayed with the GOP line. The House did not have a two-thirds GOP majority, however. Tuesday's election maintained that GOP power in the Senate, with 20 Republicans and 10 Democrats, but also extended it to the House. The new 60-member House created under reapportionment will include 41 Republicans and 19 Democrats.

That will give the Republicans one more vote than the 40 needed to override when the new Legislature is sworn in January. Sullivan, who did little active campaigning for Democratic legislative candidates, could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Legislative reapportionment reduced the size of the House from 64 to 60 members. The current lineup is 42 Republicans and 22 Democrats. Turnover in the Legislature totalled 53 percent.

A majority of the members of the House, 32 of the 60, next year will have no legislative experience. Two other newly-elected House Secretary of State Kathy Karpan said late Wednesday her office had not yet received final unofficial results of the justice's retention vote. But The Associated Press reported unofficial results showing Urbigkit lost retention in a 51-49 percent vote. Gov. Mike Sullivan's press secretary, Dennis Curran, said in a telephone interview the governor was "disappointed in Justice Urbigkit's failure to win retention." "The governor also supports the retention process the so-called 'Missouri Plan' and believes that the debate is healthy, but that he didn't feel there was anything in And because Urbigkit has been called "soft on criminals" by at least one particular opposition group, the voters have sidestepped constitutional rights that outline a defendant is "innocent until proven guilty" in return for "presumption" of guilt, Zunker said.

Urbigkit, who was appointed by Gov. Ed Herschler to the Supreme Court in November 1985, is the first Wyoming Supreme Court justice ever to be denied retention by the voters, according to the Secretary of State's office. Urbigkit was retained by voters in November 1986. His term expires Jan. 3.

The term-limit initiative, which was approved Tuesday by nearly 80 percent of Wyoming voters, will become effective in 1993. Under its wording, both Simpson and Wallop could seek two more consecutive terms before retiring. Wyoming was one of 14 states which passed term limit initiatives Tuesday. U.S. Rep.

Craig Thomas, who handily won re-election Tuesday to his second full term, said he has long-supported term limits for members of Congress, but only if they apply nationwide. Barring that, he said he would not feel compelled to step down at the end of three full terms if congressmen from other states were remaining in office for as long as they could continue winning re-election. He suggested that if the trend of individual states passing term limitations continues in 1994, Congress is likely to address the matter with national legislation.

"We've got two years before another election for people to weigh that seriously," he said Wednesday. Simpson, who supported the initiative, said "people have spoken damn loud and damn clear but I'm rot about to say anything, with four years left in my term, as to anything that would limit my ability to do the job."
