"We will have no concerted effort to have Democrats vote in the Republican primary." said Democratic Party Chair Meghan Holbrook. "Republicans have their hands full, since they have been hijacked by the right w ing." On Saturday, delegates to the GOP convention forced Gov. Mike Leavitt and U.S. Rep.' Merrill Cook into primary races a move that has Democrats rubbing rub-bing their hands with glee. No Democratic candidates face a primary pri-mary race, so they can rest up for November. Meanwhile, the party could Welch refuses to take SALT LAKE CITt (AP) The attorney for Salt Lake Olympic bid executive Tom Welch has spoken w ith the Justice Department, but not with a plea bargain in mind. In tact, William W. Taylor II!, a Washington lawyer, said Welch will not accept any plea bargain in the criminal investigation of the Olympic bribery scandal. "W hat I have said to the Justice Department is there is no basis for a prosecution against Mr. Welch. If y ou want to call that a conversation, that's fine. But there has been no discussion of a plea. Mr. Welch wouldn't consider a plea." Taylor said Tuesday-Taylor Tuesday-Taylor also dismissed as '"categorically '"cate-gorically untrue" published reports that Welch may be angling for a plea deal to head off federal charges.

Democrats have been plotting plot-ting for years to increase their numbers in Utah's elective offices. They have just one statewide post, the attorney general's. Randy Simmons, a Utah State University political scientist, scien-tist, said the GOP primary offers the Democrats a precious opportunity to deepen the obvious obvi-ous fissures among Republicans. "Democrats need to be mobilizing mobi-lizing Democrats." he said. But Matthew Burbank. a University of Utah political scientist, sci-entist, said Democrats would do better to emphasize their own memorandum Taylor filed last month with the Justice Department. That memo argues Wekh did nothing noth-ing criminal when he won the 2002 Winter Games for Utah. As for speculation the government govern-ment might be trying to build a Welch case on mail-fraud statutes, Taylor claimed Wefch canl be liable because he didn't personally profit from Salt Lake getting the 2002 Olympics. "These things are like shooting at an uncertain target, but we've heard in the press the government is considering con-sidering mail fraud and other kinds of statutes." he said. "The government govern-ment hasn't made any decision, and we're persuaded that Welch hasnl violated any of these statutes." When former VS. Olympic official offi-cial Alfredo La Mont pleaded guilty in March, federal documents said he was aided in tax evasion by two unnamed bid committee officials. e-commerce companies selected select-ed Utah as its Western distribution distribu-tion center after considering sites in Nevada and Cofbiado. CEO Mike .Mulvehill said Monday.

That view is shared by Joe Hatch, a party activist and the former leader of Salt Lake County Democrats. Two years ago he urged Democrats to vote in the GOP primary, largely to weigh in against right-wing candidates can-didates seeking offices without Democratic candidates. "Right now we (Democrats) have really effective, moderate, mainstream candidates so that (voting in the Republican primary) pri-mary) doesn't make critical sense." said Hatch.

The Olympic probe also has netted net-ted Salt Lake businessman David Simmons, w ho pleaded guilty to a tax charge in August 1999. Simmons admitted he created a "sham" job used by the son of South Korean IOC member Un Yong Kim to get a green card Kim's son.
