McClure, Chairman Phillip R. Blomquist Stephen Harmsen C oTi rad Harrison Jennings Phillips William E. Dunn Northwest Hosts Commission Candidates An opportunity for some heated political discussion in an setting will be offered to citizens of Salt Lake County Tuesday night, September 5 at 7:30 p.m. when Northwest the County-operate- d Multi-purpos- e Center at 1300 West 2nd North will sponsor a program featuring all 7 Democratic and Republican candidates for the two County Commission seats being contested this year. An added attraction will be the presence of the County Chairmen for both parties. Democrat Robert Moore and Republican Jack Bowen, who will be asked to explain their respective party platforms and answer questions about them. The idea behind this, says. Northwest Director Jim Holston, is to give the public as great an opportunity as possible to define and clarify the issues in this year's campaign. "We'd like this event as well as to be issue-oriente- d personality-oriented,- '' says Holston. In addition to Moore and Bowen, citizens will hear the views of the candidates for the two-yea- r seat being vacated by Commissioner Ralph Y. McClure, Republicans Jim Kirkwood and John Dwan, and Democrats John Delaney and Pete Kutulas; and those vying for the four-yea- r seat. Democrat McClure and Republicans Warde Cameron and Henry (Happy) Hilton. Three of these men will be eliminated from the race in the September 12 primary, after which one man from each party will run for each Commission post. McClure is the only candidate who was unopposed at his county nominating convention. The format to be used is this: first, each party chairman will be allotted time to state his interpretation of the major issues facing Salt Lake County residents and his party's positions on these issues as presented in the party's platform. Citizens will then have an opportunity to question the chairmen on the platform issues. Following this, each candidate will have a chance to present himself to the public, and all candidates may then be questioned by the audience. Finally, candidates will have the opportunity to meet citizens individually around the building, and they or their campaign workers will be allowed to distrubute pamphlets or other political paraphernalia. Holston stressed the importance of staging the "issues night" before the primary election, noting that the electorate has a broader choice of positions and men than they will on Election Day in November. "We hope all citizens will take his or her civic responsibilities seriously this year and learn all they can about the candidates and the issues. We've got the facilities here to accomodate several hundred people sure hope comfortably, and they take advantage of this opportunity." I Mark Your Calendar For This Event!
