Show POLITICAL GOSSIP IN WEBHCOWTY The Salt Lake Tribune offers this piece of political gossip from WcIxm county State Treasurer David Mattson and County Clerk Sam Dye. both of Weber count arc having an interesting contest for tho control of the cber county delegation to state convention. Mi Mattson is a candidate for secretary of state and Mr Dye wants to succeed Mr. Mattson as state treasurer The contest In Weber county Is likely to eliminate one of these candidates for state office Whichever Which-ever one secures the Weber county coun-ty delegation to the state coen-tlon coen-tlon will be a formidable candidate candi-date for the office he seeks For this reason the other candidates for state office are watching eagerly ea-gerly the Weber county contest Both candidates are particularly particular-ly strong in Weber county and each has a large following The contest between the two Is almost al-most certain to be close In the event of a nearly equal division of the Weber county delegation between the two candidates It Is considered not unlikely that the two will reach an understanding that the delegates will try for one office first and then for the other in the eent that they fail to secure se-cure the first one. If one candidate candi-date secures a large majoritj of the delegation, however, no such arrangement is likelj. oo |
