Moss. I have no doubt that the one most qualified to best Moss is Des Barker, a Salt Lake City public relations executive. This is not to suggest that Barkers intra-part- y opponents - herein identified as A, B, C and D are either less honest or more mortal than he. It is, rather, to observe that Barker embodies a combination of favorable factors that none of the others can duplicate. 1. Barker has a record of work for the Utah GOP. In every campaign since 1962, he has been active for statewide and legislative -- Republican nominees. On this item, candidates A, B, and D score zero. Cs endeavors largely have been on his own behalf, but with some effort for others. ' 2. Barker is a mainstream Utah RepubliHis service as the 1962 Utah-Idah- o can. coordinator for the Americans for Constitutional Action (ACA) initiated his orientation. On the other hand, B moderate-to-conservati- ve has accepted the support of the Birch crazies and C, when a Congressman, deviated toward the left. Barker knows the problems of government. Eighteen months on the White House staff and prior part time consultant status with DOT exemplify official recognition of his perceptioA. B brags that he is alien to the nations capitol and one wonders whether the public would trust a lawyer to remove an appendix. 4. Barker has spent both his formative and adult years in Utah. A lifetime of daily contacts with all Utahns - of whatever creed or social standing - is prerequisite to adequate representation of that constituency. It is not enough (although all five aspirants qualify) to be an active member of Utahs predominate church. After nearly two decades absence, A returned to the state just in time to announce his candidacy for a return to Washington. B moved here nine years ago. Save for the time span, D is in the same boat as A. 5. Barker is sufficiently youthful to gain Senate seniority. He is the same age as was 3. Moss when first installed in the Senate. C is 62, if successful would tie for the eighth oldest freshman Senator ever elected, and could not hope for meaningful seniority. 6. Barker has business experience. For sixteen years he has had to bring in a gross to meet wages and other overhead, and to earn a He has produced, not consumed, profit. wealth. A has been on the taxpayers pay roll. C and D, in their private capacities, have received trade association pay checks. 7. Barker is adaptable to the Utah electorate. The state is composed of thirds. It is a third GOP, a third Democrat, and third independant; it is a third active LDS, a third inactive LDS, a third gentile. Unless a candidate possesses in full measure each of the traits itemized, his chances for success with such a difficult electorate are minimal. Barker's unique qualifications permit him to maximize the opportunity to overturn Moss. Don't mistake me. If A, B, C or D is nominated, he shall have my vote. Its just that I believe I'll be in more numerous company if the nominee is Des Barker. 20 |
