In preparing this story of “Teno”, I asked him

what he believed to be the most important of his

contributions to Wyoming as Representative, also

what he considered the main purpose of his office.

Following is his answer:

“It is difficult to try to pick a few highlights

from such a busy period in my life. It is difficult

to judge what will be of more significance—the

legislation I supported that will influence genera-

tions to come, or the first steps in developing our

resources more fully.—

My major aim has been to insure that Wyo-

ming, represented by but one man, has the fullest

attention and best possible service. I strive for per-

sonal, effective service to every citizen, every com-

munity and every segment of the economy on the

premises that much can be done here in Washington

to assist and encourage the growth of our great

Wyoming. For example, my idea to seek unused

Hill-Burton hospital construction funds from other

states succeeded in bringing in an additional $500,-

000 for our hospitals—that is the kind of work that

pleases me most and is most helpful to Wyoming.”

Whether or not one agrees with Teno depends

mainly on what political party he is affiliated with

but everyone agrees that Teno has worked tirelessly

and has done a good job according to his convictions.

He is today a candidate for the United States Sen-

ate, opposing him for the office is Republican Gov-

ernor Clifford P. Hansen.

NEXT MONTH—I hope to have Governor Han-

sen’s story.
