Pete Kutulas, a lieutenant in the County Sheriffs Department, and John Delaney, the County Finance Director, were the top victors in that contest. Mr. Kutulas was the leading candidate with 197 delegate votes and Mr. Delaney held 186 votes. The elminated hopefuls were James Dooley with 171 votes and Quentin Wells, 85 votes. The two victors will be the Democratic candidates in the Primary election, which will be held Sepetmber 12. Governor Calvin L. Rampton opened the convention with some statistics of the economic standing for Salt Lake City as compared to the national average, which showed a sharp increase from the comeback from the economic doldrums of 1970-7The Governor said, Lets put the record straight, which is the result of some Republican criticism of unemployment. Salt Lake City is above the national average in many areas including factory worker income retail department store sales and construction activity were all above the national average. The featured speaker at the county convention was Pierre Salinger, a campaign coordinator for Senator George McGovern, who pleaded for party unity once a presidential candidate is selected. Mr. Salinger went on to say that What we seek is to give back to the people the feeling that they arc in control of their government. Our areas of agreement about the need for change and the reordering of priorities give us the ability to unite. The convention was packed, with standing room only. Many 1. Pete Kutulas delegates were separated on the amendments to the platform presented. Most of the planks of the platform were quickly accepted and some areas faced much heated debate. One amendment debate lasted almost one and one half hours, which was finally passed and then called for reconsideration and then rejected. Also selected at the county convention were some persons seeking election to the State Senate and the State Legislature. The candidates for the primary and some for the general election who gained more than 70 per cent of the delegate support for their areas are District 2, Sen. Richard Evans and Wilford Black, Jr.; District 4, Rep. Richard C. Howe; No. 5, Don Brooke and Sen. Grant Whitman; No. 12, Sen. Carl Pettersson and John Tucker.

Salt Lake County Attorney Carl Nemelka said he intended to search the records of the jail which help indict Sheriff Delmar Larson a year ago have now disappeared. When Mr. Nemelka went to search the records covering March to October, 1968, to see if any violations were made, the records, which had been in the keeping for former County Auditor Glen Palmer now are nowhere to be found. Sheriff Larson was indicted on three counts of violating federal laws by a grand jury in 1970. He was never prosecuted. The U. S. Department of Justice re fused to sign the proposed indictments on the basis that the grand jury has been unlawfully constituted. Mr. Palmer was named as coconspirator but. not a defendant. The jury recommended that local prosecutors also investigate the sheriffs running of the jail as we believe that state law may have been violated.
