The department of fish and game said today that all signs and field information indicate that the harvest and hunter success will be comparable to a year ago when 112,000 animals were bagged with three of four hunters getting a deer. With the exception of four hunting units, the general season over the whole state continues for eleven days through October 30, with extended weekend hunting and longer seasons set for many areas. One deer of either sex is legal game everywhere on the regular license. Shorter Season Set A shorter season of seven days was set by the Utah Board of Big Game Control for the Heaston, Utah, Denver U Teams Ready xsEaing For Battle Stansbury, Vernon, and Tintic hunting units. Dates for these areas are October 20 through October 26. Earlier regular license hunts open October 13 on four major hunting units. They are San Juan-El- k Ridge, San tain, and the LaSal in San Juan and Grand counties, and the Blacks Fork on the north slopes of the Uinta Mountains. In each case the hunting on these four units continues through the October 30 close of the general season.

They also know that had Lee been elected he would have been a formidable senatorial candidate against Watkins two years from now. No one realizes this better than Senator Watkins and for this reason he is anxious that the people forget the Governor as quickly as possible.
