Polls opened at 7 a. m. and will remain so until 7 p. fn. Indications point to a record vote in the county and perhaps in the state for a primary election. Intraparty races for two seats on the county commission are most credited with stirring any electionitis" at the local level. Both the Democrats and Republicans have pairs squared off in the and four primary test for year terms on the county board. In addition, the Demo ballot offers a choice for state representative from District One and the GOP voters must select from two candidates for county attorney. Not strictly county but nevertheless invading Box Elder with its appeal is the chase between Sen. Wallace F. Bennett and Salt Lake City Mayor J. Bracken Lee for the GOP senate nod. This battle has waxed hot in the campaigns late stages. Local voters also will have a hand in settling Democratic primary races for the senate and state attorney general posts, and a GOP contest for representative from Utah's First district.

The city officials claimed that raising the sales tax from 2.5 cents on a dollar to three cents would be the fairest kind of tax increase. Commission members countered that only the cities would derive benefit from the tax increase since Utahs attorney general has opined that the sales tax money must be returned to point of origin. Citizens living outside the cities would pay the tax but would not receive benefit from it.
