But with the help of People for Ford volunteers, Jerry Ford will stay on the job he is doing so well! You remember those dark days when he came into office. We were all depressed about our country. The economy was in bad shape, and other countries were uneasy about all the confusion in America. That's all changed now, because President Ford provided strong and steady leadership. He has accomplished much in two years with tough decisions and hard work not with smiles and empty promises. We don't know what the next four years will bring our country, but we know what kind of leader Jerry Ford is. The message you can help carry to the people of Washington state is that Jerry Ford offers performance, not promises. And President Ford is going to need the help of Republicans like John Spellman as Governor to keep common sense in the government. He cannot there -debating) Governor Evans future Governor Spellman and all of you thanks you for your support.

They are Catholics, and both attended Seattle University. Spellman, a graduate of Georgetown Law School, is presently county executive of King County, where Seattle is located. He was first elected in 1967 as one of three commissioners of King County. When the local government was re-organized in 1969, he was elected to his present job. He was re-elected in November, 1973. He is 49, and he won the GOP primary in late September very harddily. The general election is expected to be close. -0- LORADO FORD LIBRARY & GERALD FOR PRESIDENT FORD THE MAN: It's no wonder to Coloradans that Gerald Ford is at home in our Rocky Mountains that he understands the quiet strength of Colorado out- doors. Columnist Jack Anderson says of Ford, the man, "There is nothing suave or subtle about Gerald Ford - none of the sophisticated manner- isms which Americans are inclined to distrust." Whether skiing in Vail or greeting foreign leaders in Washington, Gerald Ford maintains a clear sense of priorities. His family has always been his top priority. Said son Jack at the Republican State Convention in Fort Collins, "My Dad made good decisions in Congress. He's made good decisions for the country. And, most important, he's always made good decisions for our family." It's no secret in this part of the country. Gerald Ford is a man with qual- ities Westerners know how to appreciate. Tough but kind. Informal but direct. HE'S MAKING US PROUD AGAIN ! THE LEADER: Gerald Ford took on the presidency - the toughest job in the world - at the toughest time in our history. And he's proved he's tough enough to get the job done. The October 4th TIME says of President Ford, "He is sound, solid, steady His composure is unlikely to crack under the strain of crisis." Former Colorado Governor John Love says of President Ford, "He's the kind of leader who listens. He has the important decision-mak- ing attributes of experience and sound judgment. Yet, never in his politi- cal career has he been carried away with his own importance." Even his opponents recognize Gerald Ford as a fighter, a determined leader who understands what the relationship of Congress to the presidency ought to be. As President, Ford has used his power of veto and the knowledge gained from serving in Congress to win a series of victories for common sense. From the peaks to the plains, Coloradans agree Gerald Ford is the best qualified leader for our country. HE'S MAKING US PROUD AGAIN ! THE FUTURE: President Ford believes in three basic principles of primary importance to the future direction of government in our state and nation: less gov- ernment interference in our lives, more efficient and less costly govern- ment, greater local control in government. His accomplishments in the past two years tell us a lot about what to expect of him in the next four. He has led us on a steady economic course out of the recession. He has cut inflation in half. He has increased employment by 3.8 million in the last year. Coloradans know they can believe President Ford when he says, "The best tax reform is tax reduction." They know they can trust him to really hold down the cost of government. They know he means it when he says, "We will not promise more than we can deliver, and we will de- liver all that we promise." The Ford-Dole team will lead us in building a new dimension of freedom for the future that will allow all Americans to share equally in the advantages of a free society. HE'S MAKING US PROUD AGAIN ! PRESIDENT FORD ON THE ISSUES: TAXES for every dollar saved in cutting the growth of the Federal budget we can have an added dollar of Federal tax reduction." "I propose increasing the personal tax exemption from $750 to $1000." JOBS "The Federal Government can create conditions and incentives for private business and industry to make more jobs." " EDUCATION I am totally dedicated to quality education - and to the principle that public education is predominately the concern of the community in which people live." DEFENSE "I am convinced that adequate spending for national defense is an insurance policy for peace we cannot afford to be without." AGRICULTURE "We will never use the bounty of America's farmers as a pawn in international diplo- macy. There will be no embargoes!"

Exposition Denver, Colorado 80209 Visit to Denver and Boulder FORD & GERAID LIBRARY On Friday night, you will attend a reception for women leaders. Patti describes them as having been recruited from the local business and professional groups, and the hope is they will be Ford volunteers and leaders. You will mingle informally. **There will be a proposal on the ballot in Colorado to repeal the state's ERA and to rescind approval of the national Equal Rights Amendment. ERA supporters should vote "no." A recent poll in the Denver Post showed that ERA supporters are ahead. The proposal is Number Six on the ballot. On Saturday, you will meet Ford volunteers who are passing out campaign literature at the Colorado-Nebraska game and then attend part of the game. Nebraska is ranked fifth in the National standings. Both teams are in the Big Eight. Colorado has won three and lost one. Nebraska has won three and tied one. This is the first conference game of the season for both. Politics Neither Senator, both Democrats, or the Democratic governor is up for re-election. The House delegation has three Democrats and two Republicans. The two GOP incumbents, Jim Johnson and Bill Armstrong, are expected to win, but Johnson could have a tough race, because of an independent in the contest. Johnson, who represents the 4th (Wayne Aspinall's old district), was first elected in 1972. This district encompasses both the East and West Slope of Colorado, and the environment is an important issue. Armetrong has no strong opponent. In the 1st district, which is Denver, the RCC thinks it is running its best candidate yet against Patricia Schroeder. He is Don Friedman, a state representative. In the 2nd, which combines suburban Denver and Boulder (home of the University of Colorado), freshman Timothy Wirth has received alot of national attention. His GOP opponent is Ed Scott, a radio owner. Wirth's 1974 opponent was Don Brotzman, and the district is considered Republican. Colorado, Page Two In the 3rd Dr. Mel Takaki, a dentist and former mayor of Pueblo, is trying to unseat Democrat Frank Evans. Although he is seeking a seventh term, redistricting may have made Evans vulnerable. R. Colorado is producing a new breed of liberal GELAR FORD activists like Senator Gary Hart, who unseated Peter Dominick in 1974. Issues like the environment, controlled growth and energy are very important. Other Political Visitors Carter was in Denver earlier this week, but First Family campaigning in Colorado has been limited. A Newsweek poll puts the President ahead in Colorado. Since this was a Reagan state, obviously the emphasis is on gearing up GOP volunteers. -0- Some items in this folder were not digitized because it contains copyrighted materials.

DEPARTMENT FORD and one of the most important industrial centers on the Great Lakes, has financial problems and high unemployment. The city is one of the Nation's leading LIBRARY steel producers and grain millers. The city has a black population of 21 percent and an ethnic population of 28 percent. The two largest ethnic groups are the Poles and the Italians. The mix of blacks and ethnics has produced racial tensions. The city also has a large Catholic population. Buffalo teachers recently went back to the classroom after a four-week strike, which delayed implementation of a school desegregation plan. There is busing, and it is not being well-received. One of the major reasons for Buffalo's financial problems is a heavy welfare load. The city is trying legal methods to try to get more state and federal money to help with welfare. The welfare tally also includes the unemployment payments. Politics Senator Jim Buckley is trying for a second term against Patrick Moynihan, who won a hotly contested Democratic primary. This is a tight race with Moynihan favored. The attached article tells about a recent Moynihan incident in Buffalo. Four Congressional districts involve sections of Buffalo. The 36th includes Niagaza Falls and parts of suburb Erie County and a few blocks of Buffalo. The District, formerly represented by Republican Henry Smith, is considered a basically Republican area, but the Democratic incumbent, John LaFalce won comfortably in 1974. Dr. Ralph Argen, an internist, is the Republican candidate. He has raised lots of money, is considered a good candidate, and may have a good chance of defeating LaFalce. The 37th is the main Buffalo district, and it is heavily Democratic. The incumbent, Henry Nowak, was first Buffalo, Page Two elected like LaFalce in 1974. Since the district even voted for McGovern, he's a solid favorite to be re-elected. His GOP opponent, Calvin Kimbrough, is a black, who works in a Federal training program. The 38th, which is primarily suburban Erie County is Jack Kemp's district. He made the best showing of any Republican in New York State in 1974, and is not FORD & GERALD LIBRARY expected to have problems with his Democratic opponent. The 39th, formerly Republican Jim Hastings' district, is now represented by Stanley Lundeen, who won the special in March, 1976. Lundeen isn't expected to have problems defeating his young GOP opponent, Richard Snowden, an insurance agent. Carter had a noticeably cool reception in Buffalo recently despite the unemployment problem. A recent poll in the Buffalo newspaper showed the President within two percentage points of Carter! -0- Background on Pulaski Parade Casimir Pulaski, a Polish cavalry officer, was under thirty when Benjamin Franklin advanced him funds to sail to America.

GERALD LIBRARY for place chimes St. Paul's Cathedral Buffalo, New York THE MOOD AND SPIRIT OF GENERAL CONVENTION On September 26, Canon Chapman's sermon focused on the Spirit of God moving through the mood and process of the recent General Convention of our Church, and at the discussion group a panel of those who attended the Convention spoke in the same vein, seeking to convey a sense of the tone in which our fellow Episcopalians sought to deal with issues which were potentially divisive. At last Sunday's services we distributed copies of the final issue of the General Convention daily, which summarized not only the main events and decisions in Minneapolis, but also sought to communicate the mood and spirit of that historic meeting. (Extra copies of this paper are available in the Church Narthex and the Church office.) The House of Bishops' Pastoral Letter, issued immediately after the Convention, seeks to convey the urgency of maintaining that commitment to unity in the Spirit. It states: "At Minneapolis we accepted the Proposed Book of Common Prayer as a companion to our present Prayer Book for the next three years. We also voted to open the priesthood Paid at Buffalo, New York 14202. and episcopate in the Episcopal Church to women. We cannot yet begin to see in all their $2.00, payable through pledges.
