Show .AttV Gen. Giles Tops Aspirants In Local Poll In direct contrast to the results re-sults of the recent Bulletin poll of presidential candidate favorites favor-ites by Sugar House people, this week's poll of 20 local business busi-ness men and women seemed to indicate that in state politics, poli-tics, people are more concerned concern-ed with "political parties than they are with individuals. For a the most part, local polices were disinterested in the gubernatorial guber-natorial candidates who have announced their candidacies.. In the poll taken two week? ago. political parties were a minor issue as 50 local men and women indicated their choice for the candidate rather than the party. President Truman garnered' 29 of the 50 votes cast, with Governor Dewey receiving re-ceiving 15 votes and Taft, Stas-sen Stas-sen and Eisenhower polling two each. Henry Wallace received , no votes. Of the 20 people questioned in this week's governor poll, 17 indicated that their political party choice was Democratic as compared to two votes for Republican Re-publican and one write-in-candidate. Horace Sorensen, prominent local business man, was nominated by one of the interviewees. In the final tabulation, At- torney General Grover Giles led all other candidates by a large majority. Mr, Giles received eight votes. Nevt in line was Gov. Herbert B. Maw, who has not announced his candidacy, with four votes. E. W. Royle, Democrat, polled two votes, as did John Boyden. Former Mayor May-or J. Bracken Lee of Price, Utah, received two votes. Mr. Lee, a Republican, has not announced an-nounced his candidacy for the position either. Mr. Sorensen received one write-in vote to complete the list of 20 votes cast. Several other avowed and un-avowed un-avowed candidates whose names appeared on the voting chart received no votes in the poll. |
