\"Click<\/a>The citizens of Utah will exercise an
\n important function of democracy Tuesday.
\n Their job will be to determine which of the
\n candidates in numerous key contests will
\n appear on the ballot for the Nov. 2 general
\n election.
\n Balloting in the Primary Election will
\n beg; at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.
\n Prepared by the Utah County Clerk’s
\n office, a sample ballot, list of polling places,
\n and voting maps for this county were
\n published in the Herald Thursday (Pages 35-
\n 38), If you still have questions on where to
\n vote don’t wait until the last minute to
\n contact the party chairman, county clerk, or
\n other appropriate source.
\n The Herald hopes voting will be heavy and
\n that the choices made Tuesday will be
\n representative of the wishes of the majority.
\n Some voters traditionally take a “wait untll
\n the general election” view on voting which is
\n poor judgment. in our opinion. Many a
\n candidate never makes it to the general
\n election because apathetic supgorters don’t
\n bother to turn out on Primary lection day.
\n The Primary ballot in this county and
\n across the state is quite attractive this year,
\n with contests at local, county, state and
\n national levels.
\n On the Republican side, there are such
\n races as: Jack Carlson versus Orrin G
\n Hatch for the nomination for U. S. Senator;
\n Calvin Black vs. Joe H. Ferguson for the
\n nomination for congressman from Utab’s
\n first district; and the nlpeand-tuck battle
\n between Dixie L. beavitt and Vernon B.
\n Romney for the GOP nomination for
\n governor.
\n Among contests of wlde local interest are
\n the two county commissioner nomination
\n races pitting Harley M. Gillman against
\n incumbent Karl R. Lyman for four-year
\n commissioner, and O. Doyle Crook against
\n Kenneth J. Plnegar for the GOP nomination
\n for the two-year post. There are also state
\n representative contests of more than passing
\n interest on the Regruhlican side, including the
\n one between Lee . Famsworth, incumbent,
\n and Jerry G. Thorn in District 37.
\n On the Democratic side, the ballot is
\n shorter. but there are some excellent races
\n nevertheless. For example, the one pitting
\n John Preston Creer against Scott M,
\n Matheson for the party’s nomination for
\n governor; and the Utah County Commission
\n battle between Raymond M. Kaluck and
\n Allen D. Warner.
\n A long non-partisan ballot features two
\n state school board contests and numerous
\n local school board races.
\n you’re not acquainted with the issues or
\n knowledgeable on the candidates, now is the
\n time to get informed because the election is
\n upon us. And then, be sure to vote Tuesday.
