Fresh Water Versus Goldwater Moss Terms Wilkinson Shade To The Right Of Goldwater . By PETER A. MASLEY WASHINGTON, September "If the election were held 3 Utahs Democratic Senator Moss expects a "very considerable vote from moderate Republicans who supported Representative Lloyd In his losing primary bid to oppose the Incumbent senator this November. We have a strong far -- right wing movement in Utah, although I do not believe Its of dangerous proportions, Senator Mossf fcaid In an Interview this week. He feels that unmoderate Republicans, -nom with Goldwater the happy lnatlon and his ties with right-win- g groups will turn to President Johnson in November without actually bolting from their party. Senator Moss said, "we'd win. He Is confident of victory In November, primarily because "I dont see that Utah would gain anything at all In sending Dr. Wilkinson to the Senate. today, LOTS OF MONEY far as the Utah Republican primary was concerned, Senator M oss was surprised As that Representative Lloyd was defeated by Dr. Wilkinson. "I noted that Wilkinson used a lot of money, what appeared to be at least twice as much as Lloyd. From that I draw the Inference that I will be opposed by a lot of money, Senator Moss saild. "Wilkinson went on attack Lloyds record In some minor areas, such as where were you when this particular vote was taken? I was a little surprised that It would be as effective as It turned out to be. From the Republican - view, Lloyd had a polnt-o- f good voting record. "I think Wilkinson was able to capture the Goldwater surge and ride In on that, the Democratic Incumbent said. Senator Moss has strong feelings about Senator Gold-wat- er as the Republican presidential candidate. "I Just dont think he is Suited for the position. I think his changable and somewhat erratic statements Indicate that he Isnt suited for the Presi on dency, not In the International nor the domestic field. I Just dont feel that the' American people can afford to gamble with Goldwater, he commen- ted. The senator sees a distinct similarity between his own race for against Dr. Wilkinson and President Johnsons campaign for office against Senator Goldwater. "Dr. Wilkinson has espoused the cause of Goldwater ... I think be will run as a Gold-watman, a shade to the right On the other of Goldwater. hand. I support the President In nearly everything. er FRESH WATER VERSUS GOLDWATfiR He was particularly pleased with the nomination of Senator Humphrey of Minnesota as running - mate with the President. One of Senator Moss's better friends on the Hill, Senator Humphrey has had glowing words for the Utah Democrat. A little more than two weeks ago Senator Humphrey told a Utah audience that "Frank Moss Is a man who knows the difference betweenFresh water and gold water. He said, " we look forward to six more years of leadership from this able spokesman for the West. In the Interview, Senator Moss discounted statements on Capitol Hill that the Democratic National Committee and considers his that of Senator McGee of Wycritical races. oming as "I want to convince the people of Utah that Ive been good for the State and It would be a mistake to replace me, Senator Moss said. My emphasis will be on my personal record. "I would hope to be able to stay away from personalities and generalities. I hope I wont have to spend any appreciable time criticizing him (Wilkinson). I have known him for 25 years and I have respect for him as a capable, energetic man. i "Its almost certain that President Johnson will be elected," he said, "Even If he Isnt be , a the Senate will still Senate.
