Parker Tribune Political Editor President Ford swept Utahs four electoral votes in a heavy vote Tuesday as the electorate lurched to the right and Republicans plucked away the long-helDemocratic U.S. Senate seat and recaptured a congressional seat. Amidst this Republican treasure office seeker Scott M. chest, first-tim- e Matheson staged a remarkable I'V " achievement. He ran agauist the tide to hold the state administration in Demo7H y. cratic hands for another four years and become Utahs 12th governor. I cvy.f President Ford surpassed Jimmy e Carter by close to a margin in the Beehive State. However, Democrats were able to maintain control of the Utah Senate, even increasing their margin slightly. But the Republicans were leading in still incomplete returns for chance of wresting control of the House of Representatives by a slim margin from the Democrats.

Voters disdained appeals of seniority Democratic power by the Sen. Frank E. Moss, seeking his fourth term. They chose the Salt Lake conservative lawyer Orrin G. Hatch, according to unofficial tabulations of the Utah Election Service. polls indicated Although the chance for dumping Sen. Moss, the upset victory was magnified for Mr. Hatch by his being a relative newcomer to the state seven years ago and having virtually no Utah politic al background. Youngest Senator Tie At 42 years old, Mr. Hatch joins Republican Sen. Jake Gam, who at 42 years old two years ago became the youngest popularly elected senator from Utah. The last time twin Republican U.S. senators represented Utah w as between 1951 and 1959 with Sen. Wallace F. Bennett and Sen. Arthur V. Watkins. In the 2nd Congressional District, Republican Dan Marriott won a two-yeterm in Congress and ended the dream of Democratic Rep. Allan T. Howe to overcome the stigma of a summer conviction for soliciting sex from police decoys. Political Novice Mr. Marriott, a political novice who found success with Rep. Howes setback, returned the seat to Republican hands from its loss in 1972 to Democrat Wayne Owens. The write-icandidacy fostered by Democrat Daryl. J. McCarty, didnt make a significant inroad despite the endorsement of the Democratic State Central Committee and a passel of party leaders. In the 1st District, Rep. Gunn McKay, without working up a sweat, won a fourth term in office, defeating Republican Joe Ferguson, the John Birch Society member who had sought for three times the nomination to run agai rc h' congressman. Minor Party Vote Light Minor party candidates in the top races picked up only small percentages of the vote. railroad Mr. Matheson, lawyer, defeated Atty. Gen. Vernon B. Romney, completing two terms in office, and who for much of the year ran well ahead in polls ogamst all comers. The Matheson victory stood out also among a trend of Republican support for other state office holders, which gave the GOP a majority on the St31 Board of Examiners. State Auditor David S.

So the outsider, who began his campaign 22 months ago without visible means of political support, became Carter. On Jan. 20, he will become the 39th President cf the President-elec- t United States, and the first Deep South president elected since Zachary Taylor in 1848.

He came close, narrowed what had been a runaway Carter margin in the early polls. But the poll that counted was registered on Tuesday, by an unexpectedly high turnout of voters. The Final Verdict With 86 percent of the nations precincts tallied, their verdict read this way : Carter Ford or 51 percent. or 48 percent. 35,399,937 33,338,442 Independent Eugene J. McCarthy or one percent. Georgias Carter swept out of the South, holding it almost solidly, and returning the region to the Democratic column save for Virginia. That state went to Ford, the only crack he could manage in Carter country. To those electoral votes. Carter auued uuulvr states, New York and Pennsylvania. He captured Democratic strongholds like Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and won in the Minnesota home of his running mate, Sen. Walter F. Mondale. He captured 23 states, led in two more. Among them, those 25 states have 342 electoral votes. Strongest In West Ford, strongest in the Midwest and West, won 21 states, led in five, with a total of 196 electoral votes. The contest drew a voter turnout, and while that worked to Carters advantage, the race was almost as close as had been advertised. Democrats quickly certified their control of both Senate and House in the 95th Congress. They were assured at least the 62 votes they hold in the current Senate, and they appeared on the way to about the same 290 to i45 margin by which they dominate the 573,572 heavier-than-expecte- 4.: ' ' VI kv i ... . 11 Vvw' current .LM Wins 2nd Utah Roster Candidates , Issues on the Ballot President 1523 of 1620 Lt.
