Ave. 242-7960 FOR GOVERNOR As a rancher and cattleman who has ridden a horse a few miles and roped a calf or two, I get irritated at the persistent rumor floating around Western Colorado depicting Ted Strickland as being anti-horse and anti-rodeo. Because I know Ted, I know these stories are not true. But, the rumor continues to be spread for political Masons the horsemans vote. Ted knows a good deal about the cattle industry.

He has worked cattle and helped brand many a calf. He te lls me he still likes to ride a horse whenever possible and loves to visit and ride on working cow ranches. I hope you will all read Teds open letter to all horsemen which is printed below. To all ranchers and horsemen whether for work, rodeo or pleasure, I urge you not to let a Lamm pull hist wool over your eyes. A vote for Ted Strickland is a vote for the ranchers friend.

Gene Vories A LETTER TO HORSEMEN To be the target of rumors and false accusations is a liability of public life; thus7a long timet ago I learned to shrug off most of the pot shots which come my way. There is one ri-diculous rumor circulating wrach I will not ignore because like many ridiculous rumors, it keepis getting repeated. It haa been said, Ted Strickland hates horses and rodeos." That is jusit plain wrong. I have spent myifeWin the west and southwest. I saw the world from horseback long before I could read or spell I would like you to know first hand that I still ride as often as I can and work cattle as often as I can, Those who know horses and know cattle know that an animal properly cared for is a very valuable asset.

Roping, branding, vaccinating and de-homing are normal ranch operations. I know because I have been there. I also know that a ranch operation is tough, necessary business, and that the horse is vital to the success of many ranches. Rodoo also depends upon horses. A rodeo contestant is anxious about the performance of his animal, be it a calf, steer, bull or horse.

The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association provides rules for governing rodeos. Those rules insure the contestant of the best ani mal available. Rodeo supporters should insist upon application of those PRCA rules to anyone sponsoring rodeo events. Horsea, and with them the ranch and rodeo, represent hte last vestige of the old west a vestige we must preserve. TED STRICKLAND Approved by Natalie Meyer; 'State Chairman.
