Just Where Do You Stand,
Governor
(~ov. L. C. Hunt opened his
campaign for the Democratic nom-
ination for the U. S. ~;enate with a
declaration that the Repu'bllean
congress was a "do-nothing con-
gress which could ~be charged with
criminal negltgence of the peo-
ple's ,good."
It must be assumed that he was
criticizing congress because it
did little to combat in, flation.
'The question immediately aris-
es, What would Governor Hunt
have done if he were in the sen-
ate? Voted for price controls?
Voted for wage controls? Voted
for rationing?
Name-calling during a cam-
paign is standard practice, but it
doesn't enlighten the voter very
much. We'd like to heal- Gov-
ernor Hunt state his position def-
initely on some of t.he issue today.
We'd like ~o know where he
stands.
And be can do it. For example,

he 9laced himself flatly on the
record---in a letter to a congress-
ional committees--in favor of sell-
in,g America's forest lands, such
as the Snowy range, to the stock-
men. We'd also like to hear
some more from the governor on
that subject.
That article from the Laramie
~Reptlblican reminds us of a" rec-
ent one we read in the Torring-
ton Telegram with the heading
Public Forest Lands
Or Baronial Estates
During the coming senatorial
campaign, the people of 'Wyoming
are not going to ~e allowed to
forget that Gov. Lester C. Hunt
(Dem.) candidate for the seat
now held by Senator Edward V.
Rc~bertson (Rep.), is on record
as advocating that national for-
est lands ~oe turned over to pri-
vate owners or to the states.
Republican leaders will see to
that---they ah'eady are doing so,
in fa,et.
Governor Hunt's advocacy of
the abolition (ff national forests
dates 'back three years at least
according to records of cougress-
ional--public lands hearings.
If there is any state in the coun-
try where a program of ending
federal ownership of forests might
be expected to be popular with
voters, it is "Wyoming. Livestock
is the dominant industry in the
state.
How does it happen, then, that
the opponents of Governor Hunt
dare to use his position on na-
tional forests as a major cam-
,palgn issue? And how does it
happen that the issue is ,being
raised by those who want to re-
elect Senator Robertson who un-
[like Governor Hunt, is a stock-
I man himself, the only stockman
in the upper house of con,gress?
The explanation, we believe, is
that even among stockmen them-
selves only a small percentage of
ranch owners, representing the
most extreme advocates of the
right of private exploitation, ever
really favored doing away with
the federal guardianship over the
nation's forest assets.
Those assets include not only
timber resources but water re-
sources, which are still more
0recious, and the recreational re-
sources which are the stock in
trade of a vast tourist business
whieh is rapidly ~urning into a
cear-ai'ound sourceof revenue.
Many stockmen in Wyoming
and elsewhere like to complain
wbout the administration of the
forests. Quite a number, espec-
ially amon,g the larger ranchers,
wouhl like to :be able to :buy
Taylor grazing lands, as contrast-
ed with forest lands.
But ill Wy.oming, as elsewhere
in the west, the average stock-
man, the average farmer, the av-
erage townsman, we believe,
would resist any program such
as that advocated by Governor
Hunt.
They know there is a 'public in-
terest in the protection of for-
est watersheds whic is superior
to the private interests of any
single group and that if the west
Is to retain its distinctive char-
acter as the nation's 'playground
our forests cannot be converted in-
to private baronial estates with
fences along every roadway and
with ".No Trespassing" signs on
every gate.

This supposedly happened in a
Kentucky mountain polling place
but might have happened most
anywhere. It just goes to show
that a perfectly legal-sounding
little word may have different
meanirLgs. Anyway:
"What party do you affiliate
with?" the election clerk asked
the mountain gal.
"Have I gotta answer that?"
she frowned.
"I.f you want a ballot, you do."
'%Va-al, then, I don't want no
ballot, 'cause the party I affiliates
with ain't divorced yet."

The man took the object of his
aftee/ions to attend an open air
opera on a beautiful clear and
warm summer evening. During
the first act, he found it neces-
sary to excuse himself. He asked
an usher as "to where the men's
room might be found.
"Turn to left and walk down
to the :big oak tree and there
it is."
The man did as he was told.
In due time he returned to his
seat. "'Is the second act over?"
he asked his girl.
"You should know," she
haughtily reolied. "You were in
it!"
The little boy came running
from the house calling for help,
and explaining that his father
wa s fighting another man..inside.
Upon entering and watching
the two men battle it out, a
passerby inquired of the boy as
to which one was his father.
In reply the youth remarked:
"that's what they are fighting
cver,"
