Romney rep speaks at convention, but Paul rep denied equal time

SANDY — GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney got a forum at the state Republican convention Saturday, but Congressman Ron Paul did not.

Josh Romney, one of five sons of the presumptive Republican nominee, was the first speaker at the gathering at the South Towne Center, but an effort to give time to a Paul supporter failed when put to a vote of state delegates.

Brandon King, of Cache County, made a motion to speak for the Texas Republican, but when the motion went to delegates to amend the agenda to allow King four minutes to speak for the candidate, it failed.
