Cluff for an opinion Wednesday as to the course be should pursue, folMr. lowing Senator Dixon's death, of the while wording stated Cluff that, the state law appeared to make it to call mandatory for the governor a special election to fill the vacancy, he thought that such a proclamation would not be necessary. If the citUens of Utah county did not desire for a special election before the opening of the legislature. Mr Cluff pointed out that there was no urgent need of filling Senator Dixon's seat and that it might be well to spare the Utah county taxpayers the cost of a special election.
