With a large part of the state going Democratic for greater or less portions of the ticket, though giving the Hoover-Curtcombination the best of it in most counties, Box Elder county was not to be outdone and voted in .the Democratic candidiates for four-yecommissioner, G. G. Sweeten of Garland, and county attorney, Lewis Jones of Brigham City. The rest of the county ticket places were captured by the Republicans but the exact vote figures were not available for this issue of The Leader. Senator Wm. H. King and Governor George H. Dern appear to be reelected over their Republican opponents, while Milton H. Welling of Fielding, a favorite son of Box Elder, seems to have won in the race for secretary of state over his Republican opponent, John W. Peters of Brigham City. This latter is a very important victory tf or the Democrats from an administrative point of view since it .gives to Governor Dern and the Democratic arty control of most of the state boards and commissions a power Governor Dern has not been able to exert during the past four years, being the only Democrat in the state administration.

Governor Smith bids fair to go down in history as one of the worst beaten candidates for the presidency. His electoral vote is below that of Cox in 1920 and Davis in 1924.

Lucas ot d Logan and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. and eight months-ol- d babe of Grouse Creek, riding in the Hadfield car, met with what might have been a fatal accident. n Near the home of Mrs. Mary the road makes an abrupt turn and crosses the canal. Hadfield was not driving fast but there is no sign to indicate the turn at this point and, the driver being unfamiliar with the road and not seeing the turn until too late to, make it, he applied the brakes, the and turning car skidding over into the canal, coming to a rest upside down with the occupants having no means of escape. Mrs. Soren-so- n happened to see the top of the e car and ran a for help. About half an hour after the accident the occupants were removed from the car by the Sorenson boys and were taken to the Valley hospital at Tremonton, where they were treated. In a few hours none of the four seemed any the worse for the experience though the mother and babe had been blue from ' cold and exposure when taken to the hospital. It is fortunate indeed that this was not a more serious affair and, lest some one may become a victim of this very dangerous turn, let a sign be put up to indicate it. People have become accustomed to driving in accordance with road markers and their absence makes such places doubly dangerous.

Too much cannot be said of those who had the various parts of the big fete in charge and helped to make it the big success it proved to be another proof that there is no excellence without labor, for labor they did long, hard, and faithfully. Everything moved along on time and in perfect order, from the feeding of the multitudes by the Relief society and their helpers, to the turning out of the lights, well after midnight, to bring to a close a social that will long be remembered by all who attended it as a most successful affair.
