Sen. Garn wants to go, but ' showed the first flaw in his character by deciding to run ! as a Ford delegate. Hope he pi gets left at home. -0- : The Newswatch 2 poll, taken tak-en in June, shows that Rom-ney Rom-ney leads Republicans in the p gubernatorial race, 36.5 to ; I Smoot's 8.5, while Dixie I i Leavitt showed 6. M Creer led the Democrats 1 with 7 and Scott Matheson i (Utah's next Governor) ran j j a poor third with only 4 of h ; the vote. i -0- j Channel 2, which gets first whack at the poll because they're paying for it, have already revised it and are i showing Dixie Leavitt with the most delegates ' going 1 into this crucial weekend.

The COUNTY NEWS hopes , j to do a short profile on all j ' local candidates in Beaver i County before the primary. So far, none have cooperated with pictures or background.
