Small turnout for mass meetings BY BRUCE JENNINGS The party faithful did not turn out en masse at mass meetings also called caucuses In Ephraim and Mantl Monday night. Attendance varied between 15 and 60. Those who did report to the gatherings devoted themselves mainly to routine party matters, like hearing financial reports, districts and precincts, discussing candidates, electing delegates to county and state conventions and even. In a case or two, giving brief attention to Issues like tax limitation. The election of the county convention delegates will serve like the starting gun In a race. Those delegates will now get the special attention of the candidates for several offices: county sheriff, with seven vying for the commissioner Job, four-yea- r and commissioner. At the Republican convention at the courthouse on May 3, the delegates eliminate two or possibly three, of the partys candidates for sheriff Chuck Ramsey, the incumbent, John Cox, Wallace Buchanan and Jeriy Jorgensen. If one of the four gets the support of 70 or more percent of the delegate votes, hell bypass the Primary election on September 13 and become the Republican candidate at the general electwo-ye- ar tion In November. If no candidate gets 70 per cent, the lowest two will be eliminated and the top two will be reduced to one by the primary. The three Democratic candidates for sheriff: Jim Cheney, Claude A. Pickett and Kay Larsen, will be subjected to the same process. And the same will and four-yego for the commission candidates. On the Republican slate It will r be Robert Bessey for commissioner, and on the Democratic ballot, Amoir Deuel and Newton Donaldson.
