Show Friday. Mav 1!, 1984 DEMOS: Convention :JuA - r iff. " (Continued from Page 1) '"The dynamics of the convention are such that get; ng 70 percent is next to impossible," said Jim Matheson, campaign manager for Owens. Matheson said he expects Owens to make a strong showing in Utah County, and is pleased with the results of the Herald poll. "You always want to hear that you have more votes than your opponent. We feel it's (Utah County) an area that we can do very well in. As we started organizing, we got it set up in total there before any other county." Matheson said other polls have shown Utah County supports Owens in greater numbers than any other area of the state. Officials in Gardner's camp say their candidate's lack of name recognition and inexperience in campaigning are problems they expect to overcome in Utah County. The endorsement of Gardner by Provo Mayor James Ferguson will be a big help in their battle for state delegates and primary votes, say Gardner backers. "At the county conventions held so far, most have been fought on fairly even turf," said David Spatafore, Gardner's director of communications. "We feel the better Kem gets known the better opportunity we have of Kem closing the gap. "What you've found is what we've been finding statewide, but the number of uncommitted is a little suprising. They either don't know the candidates well or they know Wayne and feel uncomfortable because of his liberal tendencies. "Jim (Ferguson) is going to play a major role in Utah County. I expect to come out of Utah County with more delegates than Wavne jsw. I i I 1 f 3 Saturday Among delegates polled, those favoring Owens generally said they like his experience in politics and his understanding of how to deal with the issues. Gardner supporters say they believe their candidate has a better chance of being elected in a race against the Republican nominee. "Wayne is a tried and true Democrat and has had good experience." said Edna Durham, a state delegate from Orem. Dean S. Peay, Santaquin, was a Republican but has switched to the Democrats this year and supports Kem Gardner. "He's the main reason I switched over," he said. "He's a more man. I think (Cal) Rampton started the ball rolling and (Scott) Matheson has kept it up and things have been good." Provo Mayor James Ferguson's endorsement of Kem Gardner has swayed Woodrow Hatfield, Springville, toward that Democratic candidate. "I haven't had any reason not to trust him (Ferguson)," Hatfield said. Uncommitted delegates are impressed with both candidates. "Either candidate could serve the state well. I think it's going to a primary. The general public should have the right to vote on the nominee." said Norma Thomas of Provo. "There are two real good guys running," said Ross Williams of Payson. "I think what it's going to boil down to is I'm going to flip a coin." Vicki Peterson of Salem said she hasn't received enough information and would be waiting until the convention "to get a better feel for candidates." Hermann Peine of Springville is still looking at the various stands on the issues. "I'm purposely trying to keep open." 40-ye-ar well-round- will." r - Page THE HERALD. Provo, Utah. GOP: Karl Snow Leads Locally H 1 (Continued from Page 1) minds eventually it can really change the figures and the scope of things," said Lillian Garrett, campaign manager for Marriott. The lead by Snow is not surprising to Garrett, she said, "I would expect Karl Snow to lead in his own county. And I think the 26 percent is a really good showing for Karl, but I am so pleased Dan made the showing he did in Utah County." For the past seven years Marriott has been the congressman in Utah's Second District which does not take in Utah County. "Considering Dan has not represented Utah County and that a lot of people there don't know him as well as they do in the north I think the 9 percent is a good showing," she said. Paul Rogers, campaign manager for Bangerter, said he was not surprised with Snow's showing, saying, "I'm not surprised to see Karl Snow showing best because I'm sure a majority of those Provo is our weakest and Karl's strongest." Snow said his support has been growing in rural Utah and he is pleased to have done well in his home county. "I'm very pleased at what's happening in Davis County and in the south. I think delegates are interested in issues and not name recognition," said Snow. Ike Morley, Snow's campaign manager, said, "We are very encouraged with the results. We expected to do well in Utah County where people know Karl and we are finding in other counties that when they meet him they are throughing their support behind him." Throughout the rest of the state, the race among the Republicans is between Marriott and Bangerter, according to Rogers. "I think as the convention gets closer Snow's support will fall off." he said. The reason for this will be because they will not look at Snow as a serious contender, Rogers said. "They will see that the real race is between Norm and Dan Marriott," he said. Campaign 1984 V Morley disagrees, saying, "I think the oppisite will be true. That percent undecided will come over to us and I think we will get the majority of that number." Comments from Wright and Ferguson could not be obtained before press time. 50 contacted were from the Provo area. Karl fades rapidly as you spread to the south and north. Norm does well on the north end of the county and not bad in Orem.

Attracting specialists has been a key to the change from a general care hospital to one with many specialty areas, Dr. Kent Gamette, president of the medical staff, told the gathering.

No Nails dumped on Interstate 15 Thursday afternoon resulted in flat tires on several cars, and the Utah Highway Patrol hopes someone noticed the culprit vehicle so restitution can be arranged. It was the third time in the past month in which nails interrupted the flow of traffic on the freeway, said Lyla Vincent, a UHP dis- patcher. A couple of weeks ago a conaccidentally dropped about a keg of nails struction company truck as it traveled through Juab County and near Lehi. The UHP dispatcher estimated about ten vehicles reported popped tires. Someone had witnessed the accidental discharge from the truck, the company was notified, and motorists received restitution for repair costs.
