Leavitt has two opponents for the eastern distriet Republican nomination, while the Democrats and Faymer-Laborites have but one candidate each. In the west- ern district, Representative John M. Evans has one Democratic opponent. Five Republicans seek this nomina- tion. The office of United States Sen- ator will.not be voted on.
