Show Registration agents announced for county voting precincts A list of registration agents to register voters prior to the primary and general elections in the 14 election precincts in San Juan County were announced this week by County Clerk Ada Palmer. Mrs. Palmer emphasized that voters will have only one Tuesday, registration date Aug. 4 prior to the primary election on Aug. 11. Voters who have not previously registered should go to the home of the registration agent for their precinct to accomplish the registration. Registration agents for the various precincts are as follows: Ineze Wilson Bluff No. 1 Monticello No. 2 Josephine Pehrson 11a Redd Monticello No. Susan Blanding No. 2-- 3-- Butt Irene H. Blanding No. Redd Roberta Wilcox LaSal No. 4 Nina Cedar Point No. 5 3-- Gil-bre- th Helen Redshaw White Canyon No, 7 Virginia Wyers Aneth No. 8 Roy Burnham Anna Mexican Hat No. 9 Pehrson Montezuma Creek No. 10 Sue Ashcroft (Myrna Hensley is temporary agent for Aug. 4) Maurice Gouldings No. 11 Knee Navajo Mountain No. 12 Joe Folgheraiter Ucolo No. 6 Candidate status now uncertain The status of three political candidates on the Utah scene was clouded somewhat Tuesday as Secretary of State F. Toronto studied to see whether the three could legally be elected. Involved in the state election law question are Ernest H. Dean, candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor; G. Douglas Taylor, Republican, and Clyde L. Miller, Democrat, candidates for the office of secretary of state. The . question cqncerns whether "candidates who are members of the state legislature may seek offices in which salaries have been increased by that legislature. The state law reads that no member of the legislature, during the term for which he was elected, shall be appointed or elected to any civic office or profit under this state, which shall have been created, or the emoluments of which shall have been increased, during the term for which he was elected. Though taking no definite action, Mr. Toronto suggested the possibility of leaving the names off the ballots and allowing the candidates to pursue a legal determination through the courts over the state law.
