"And I wanted to see how (Rep. plan Howe would doI vote for him." The narrow polling and tabulations before the iies were resolved kept Mrs. Cramer interested, although the election as a whole was no more and no less exciting than other elections she remembers.

She said seitction of the president should be by the popular vote, not electors in the Mettoral College, "so our vote would count a little -more." The survey included two voters who are iviauvely recent arrivals In Utah, Mrs. Sharon Wall, '278 who moved from Georgia to Utah two iltinths ago, and Ernest H. Dixon, 2232-460 East, who tratne to Utah with his family from California in May. "Since I recently moved bere'from Georgia. aybe that's why I was interested in the election." Mrs.

Wall said. "I voted by absentee ballot, and was pointy concerned about the presidential race," she said, indicating her vote went to former Georgia governor Jimmy Carter. "I didn't know too much about the races in Utah." Dixon said there were definite differences c) new analylif Mi1ti Weilenmann. program chairman, said the event will honor Gov. Rampton or.

Tanner and Jack W. Gallivan. He said even though invitations have been sent out to certain individuals that anybody can attend.

Following the dinner, a large cake carried into the ballroom by four persons will be cut and served for dessert. The cake is being prepared by Utah-Idaho Sugar Co. President Spencer W. Kimball of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will give the invocation and the Most Rev. Joseph Lennox Federal, bishop of the Salt Lake Catholic Diocese, will give the benediction.

"They send voter information packets here, but in California the packets (sent by th counties) have a sample ballot inside, and the candidates can submit a certain amount of literature to be mailed with the packet 24 weeks before the election, before the mudslinging begins," he said.

Tuesday's election was the first chance for Tom ,78 N. liVebi, to exercise his voting franchise. "I started to eat into politics during the summer," he said. "the only thing I don't like is the campaign; by the time you get to the elections, you get so sick of hearing everybody's name, it starts getting boring." Jack Evans, 1198 DuPont also thought overexposure of the candidates was a problem. "I've seen more exciting ones (elections)," he said.

"Wilkie-Rooseveltthat was exciting, of course I wasn't voting then; and Dewey and Truman." "This one was more 'just can't wait until its maybe that's because of TV, overexposure and the length of the campaign," he saki. Mrs. Joanne Oakden, Midvale, thought the races for senator and president.were the most interesting. "There could maybe have been candidates I could have gone more wholeheartedly for," she said. but as it was, there were nominees she could accept and favor with her vote.

As the results tumbled in, Mrs. Sandra Payne, 3015 Maple Way, Kearns, paid close attention. "I voted a little Republican, a little Democratand I oted fcr Ford," she offered. "I was really curious about the governor's seat and the race for congressman," she said, admitting less of an interest in the Moss-Hatch Senate contest. Mrs.

And Jimmy Carter's election to the presidency is the reason. Many Americans think the spoils system of handing out juicy feral jobs is as dead as Andrew Jackson. but they're wrong.

Most federal officers are under the Civil Service which is a cad buffer between them and political influences, but not all are. Agencies outside the competitive Civil Service System include the Atomic Energy Commission, the board of governors of the Federal Reserve the Central Intelligenee Agency. the Foreign Service, the National Science Foundation, National Security Agency. Panama Canal Zone. the U.S, Postal Service.

Library of Congress, the Judicial Branch of government, and others. Many of these agencies such as the federal Bureau ot investigation have their own intermit civil service-type structure, with strict rules on seniority and job security. The big exception to the general trend of protecting federal workers from politics is the U.Z. Office. Each state has at least one U.S.

1 BOISE (UPI) Idaho went Republican in Tuesday's voting as conservative Congressmen George Hansen and Steve Symms won reelection and President Ford clairr.ed the state's four electol al votes. See additional Idaho story and photo On 4-8. The Hansen-Stan Kress race went right to the wire before Ada County returns finally clinched it early Wednesday, giving Kress the county but not by a large enough margin to overcome liambea.b iead. It was a bitterly fought contest in which Hansen and Kress traded personal 'charges about Hansen's tax returns and Kress' campaign contributions. In the-waning days of the campaign Hansen launched an all-out attack on Kress' support by organized labor, publishing advertisements asking the voters which "George" they wanted to represent them in Meer, or For conservative Idahoans, especially the farmers, it was a message that hit home.

"Well, it took most of the rest of the counties to offset a big labor vote in Pocatello but we did it," Hansen said, referring to Kress' edge in Ranleek county. The 45-year-old Hansen also credited Lis victory with what he a "spinitaneous uprising" of the people who have grown "very, very tired of excessive government that they have to put up with." Foe Kress, a 32-year-old former Firth school superintendent, it marked an abrupt halt to a brief political career. He is finishing his first term in the state Symms, 38, a Caldwell apple grower, called the campaign his toughest since he defeated now Attorney General Wayne L. Kidwell for the nomination to his first term four years ago.

"It's a good win and we feel very happy about it," he said, adding he will continue his fight to "maximize personal liberty" and private solutions to people's problems. He Carried all but five of the 19 counties in the First District and even cut into margins in some of the traditionally Democrat strongholds. He gave a lot of the credit to what he called his "grass roots" organization. 2.. I.

Bischoff agreed. The senate race was one of the hardest fought contests in Utah, with both sides feeling the pressures and short tempers of a close competition toward the end. For Moss, 64, the outcome means an end to 18 years in the Senate, and an end to hopes he had to rise even higher than his number three position there. Salt Lake City Mayor Ted L. Wilson milled around in the Moss root and expressed his disappointment.

"I don't think the people of Utah know what they've given up in Sen. Moss," the young mayor said while people around him nodded in agreement. As the returns became even more conclusive, the senator's staff became more protective of their boss, keeping reporters brief. 1.0u tate viol it shouted as Moss gave his guarded concession and thanked his supporters and the people who voted for him. "AU right," Moss smiled.

-We'll make them count all the votes before we give in." The senator and his quiet party then turned to watch Hatch on television, as the new senator was being asked why he won. Moss walked away, stopping occasionally to hug 'a supporter or shake a hand. As for Hatch, his step was jaunty and an unusually wide smile escaped his lips as he strode back into the Hilton Hotel after a quick round of interviews at local television stations. The successful trial lawyer, unheard of in political circles six months ago, had carried off the Cinderella campaign of the season. Ills family beamed as he stopped to talk with a reporter.

"Throughout this campaign, we've shown the people of Utah that Sen. Moss has fallen out of step. We have shown that he's a captive ot the eastern liberal establishment," Haddow shouted above the din of the crowd.

Commented a bystander: "Hatch can't lose this election, this is his time." Moss, looking composed but dejected. talked with the Deseret News about the election and at one point let his anger show through. "The most upsetting part of all this is that this state has invested 18 years of service in me," Moss said as he prepared to return to his private hotel room. "We'll have two men of the minority party in Washington and the state's voice will be muted." However, the senator said he felt worse about his campaign workers than he did about himself. His workers were not teeling sorry tor themselves, however.

They were too busy being mad. Several times during the evening, Hatch supporters entered the Moss room. Their smugness sparked the Democrats. who at one point asked the Hatch campaigners to leave. "They have a lot of guts coining in here." one commented.

Rancor at the opposition wasn't confined to the Moss side of the contest. When Moss appeared simultaneously on several television sets around Hatch headquarters. supporters hissed and booed in genuine dislike. -Pack your bags, cause you're out mister." shouted one man. "Don't vorry senator." intoned another al the tube.

Gale McGee to a scene in Alice in Wonderland. Wallop, a state senator and rancher from Sheridan Cour.ty called the. victory "a bit overpowering." The Republican said he was surprised by the wide margin.

Questioned about the impact of the victory, he said 'It's a little bit like Alice in Wonderland." In the campaign McGee emphasized the seniority he had built up. He warned voters that sending freshman Republican to the Senate would eliminate Wyoming's bargaining power with larger states. Wallop atttacked McGee as a one-issue candalate. He said he had spent too much time in Washington and lost touch with the citizens of the state. McGee congratulated Wallop and offered him all possible assistance in the transition period.
