Farmers also had lo march on the said, to get repeal ot a hill providing that REA lines could not be set up In any area In which a private utility had 1 promised to give service. The house, according to Bezoff, recognized private utilities had abused Ihe law by giving a promise of service but not fulfilling It, Therefore, It had taken action to change the law. "I'm sure you don't want repre- lentatlves in the stale legislature who have to be marched upon to get something done," Bezoff said.

Bedford, former resident ol Plaltevllle and Weld county assessor, gave a brief outline of his political career. llt Miller noted some of the other democratic candidates for slate offices- and then told the audience Ihey would bo hearing more- from him later.
