Analysis of The Direct Primary Law Editors Note: In this and the next two issues of the Uintah Bato sin Record we will attempt make an analysis of Utahs new Direct Primary law which will be put into use for the first time this fall. Because the time is short the first article will be devoted to the mechanics of becoming a candidate for office in the primaries. The second article will explain the methods of becoming an independent candidate and some ol tne the mechanical features of law. The third will be devoted to instructions-ovoting. Major Part) Candidates To become a major party candidate on the ballot for the November election, a person must be nominated through one or both of the primary elections held in September. The regular primary election will be hel I on Sept. 13th, the run-of- f primary on Sept. 27 th. Major parties are generally understood to mean the Democratic and Republican parties, which met the requirements of the law by polling 2 per cent of the votes at the last general election. There has been some activity by the Harmon Peery party to qualify for the primaries since it polled enough at the last election but it is thought improbable that it will do so. Most Direct Method The luw provides two methods for a Major party aspirant to his or her to office get public name on the ballot for the regular primary. The most direct and simplest candidate to method Is for the file a petition of nomination with the proper official and pay the required filing fee. Such a petition requires no signers, except the candidate and the form of the petition is contained in "the law. The Ming fee is 4 of 1 per cent of the total salary for the entire term ot the office sought. The petition sets forth factual matters as to party affiliations, office sought, and residence and contains an oath tying the petit- ioner to the party under which he seeks nomination. He also swears that he will not withdraw, and if elected, will qualify for the office. Second Procedure Explained The other procedure is for a group of supporters to file a designation of nomination on his behalf. Such a designation must be signed by at least 10 qualified who are members of the same party as the candidate they designate. The person thus designated is notified by the official who receives the filing and he has until 30 days before the regular primary to file an acceptance and the required fee which if pay will put his name on the done plmary ballot the same as if he had filed a personal petition. Filing Limits Given There are two limits to filing petitions' of nomination or designation, and 2 places for filing. If the office sought is voted upon by the electors of a subdivision larger than a county they must ol be filed with the secretary be30 is limit the and days state, fore t.he regular primary. Also included in this group are candidates to the house or representatives which the law specifically Includes with those who must file the with secretary of state. (Note; filing time for the above group closed this year on August 13th.) Those seeking an office voted upon by the electors of a county a subdivision of a county or must file with the county clerk and the time limit is 15 days before the regular prmary. (Aug. 29th this year.) This includes all county officials, and precinct and justice constables.

Last year tlq U, B. I. C. was combined with the Indian Fair, thus merging the two great and unique events of the Intermountain West. "Individual Security Through Initiative Self Reliance and the slogan for this year's convention, is an apt description of the motive of the U. B. I. C. which had its Inception 16 years ago. Origin Told The story of its origin was told Tuesday evening over the KSL broadcasting station by Convention President Melvin E. Lund-berg, the saluted ibis great event. Seventeen years ago, hundreds of persons were leaving their homes in the Basin and seeking when, Tribune-Telegra- m residence elsewhere. "Something had to be done to atop them, to give them a new Interest in their farms which were being destroyed through drouth or because transportation facilities were so poor, produce could not be sent to market," Mr Lundberg told the radio audience, First Slogan As a result, a plan was developed to call a meeting to inform the people of the vast rasources-i- n their territory and how to use them to the best advantage. Thus began the Uintah Basin Industrial Convention with its first slogan, "Know the Uintah (Continued On Page 8) SLOT MACHINES Editor Uintah Basin Record: There has been some complaint mato me lately about the slot chines in Duchesne county. There is a special statute against slot machines and similar devices. It is the duly of the sheriffs constables, police and other peace officers to Inform against all persons using the slot machines. The place to inform is at the county who attorney's office. Anybody has complaints In this matter will be duly taken notice of by the county attorney whenever they want to sign a complaint. The Attorney General is advising the suppression of the slot machine There are other particularly. gambling devices of which there is a doubt, such as games that are denominated as games of skill rather than games of chance marble and the games are in doubt, because lt seems that the supremo court has made the distinction of chance as opposed to skill in these games. However, this matter will probably be clarified still further in the supreme court within a reasonable time. But, as to slot machines, it is the duty of the sheriff and constables to take notice of them, and anybody can file a complaint against the users oi slot machines, by presenting the matter to the county attorney.
