Show Little Competition i For County Posts ; In 1940 Primary j Utah's 1940 primary election, to be held Tuesday, September 3, will offer plenty of competition for most state and congressional : offices, it seems, but only a small ; amount for county offices. At least this will be the case by comparison compari-son with the election of two years ago the first under the direct primary system, which supplants the old method of nominating can-didates can-didates in state and county con- j ventions. County officers to be elected t in November this year include a representative to the state legis- j lature, a long- and a short-term , commissioner and a county attor-ney, attor-ney, but there is party competi-! tion only for the short-term com-missionership com-missionership (in both parties) and in the Republican race for county attorney. Thus, only these county offices will be voted on in Beaver county, though the galaxy of would-lbe state nominees, on both tickets, should help to bring out a good vote. Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock was the deadline for filing for office, of-fice, and telephonic contact with County Clerk William A. iMiller gave The News the following list of county filings: ! For State Representative Clif : McShane of Beaver, Republican J (incumbent); Samuel O. White of Beaver, Democrat. i Four-Year Commisioner Ernest Er-nest G.
