"The pressing need in the rural counties of Utah is for increased economic opportunity. While a part of the state is experiencing phenomenal industrial and busi-ness growth many of our outly-ing counites have remained rel-atively undeveloped. A few are even losing population. "Utah cannot forge ahead to take her rightful place among Western states until these popu-lation trends are stabilized and economic growth afforded to all sections.

Committee Post In his announcement Mr. Rampton said: "In seeking this position I would in no way mini-mize the substantial contribution Mr. Rawlings hasmade as na-tional committeeman, as chair-man of Western States Demo-cratic Conference and a member of the National Advisory Coun-cil. "I feel, however, that the in-terests of Utah have suffered as a result of his division of atten-tion among these . positions. "If election I would do every-thing in my power to have the rather flexible rules of the West-ern Conference changed to per-mit Mr. Rawlings' retention as chairman of that conference. I would also urge his retention as a member of the powerful Na-tional Advisory Council, which is separate and apart from the National Committee.
