Mr.
Dingledine won a seat in the Utah State Senate on a program of rigorous law
enforcement, expansion of the state prison system, Federal subsidies for the
mining industry, completion of the Utah wilderness freeway system, tax relief
for large families and fiscal responsibility in government. He was elected by an overwhelming plurality
over his sole opponent, a retired Paiute whose entire political platform
consisted of one plank: free peyote.
