That was obvious last Tuesday night at West Valley City Hall (and likely the same was true at ci-- t y throughout the state) where office seekers gathered and As results from each polling place were added to the running tab, Most of the apparent losers in a manner which would have earned commendations from the straight-lace- d British - Thats the way, chap, keep a stiff upper lip and all that rot." reacted anxiously the results of the days voting.

It was as if maintaining an appearance of neutrality would hide the personal embarrassment and sink- ing feeling inside. Obviously, theres no reason for embarrassment. Theyd run a race and lost. Thats all. Theres nothing wrong with losing. Someone has to. Besides, winning doesnt depend on qualifications or personal ability. Other, less logical considerations, such as the position of the stars in the heavens, have more bearing on the outcome. Still, defeat does give a quick kick to the old ego. Thats difficult to take and even more difficult to hide. Candidates I observed used several means to cover their disappointment. Sitting there was one way. But that pose couldnt be maintained when people came by to offer condolences (sincere or artificial) or a comforting pat on the back. So the candidates woutld flash a quick grin and make a small joke, trying to suggest the outcome wasnt really that bothersome and might even be a relief. In some respects, the ploys were successful.

A number of in the Announced Melchizedek priesthood And since local government functions are about as as Ayatollah Khomeini Appreciation Nights here in the states, the public recognition is not that much of a reward. But when you lose, it hits home heart deflating. Its easy to sympathize with a fallen candidate who is being pierced at that moment by an expanding feeling of despair. After all, these are ordinary people. Some have more political ambition than others, but on a local level like this, most have a commendable desire to serve the community and have no pretentions at making a name for themselves in politics.
