Show FIGURES ON THE RESULTS. There is a study in figures in the election returns. Salt Lake east 23,336 voles, or more than 5,000 less than polled last fall. Did Salt Lake's interest in the election lag or has the capital lost heavily in population in the last eight months? The indications are there has been a loss in population. Salt Lake cast 14.008 for the sale of liquor and 9,32S against the sale? Ogden cast 7,764 votes. At that ratio Ogden should have one-third the population of Salt Lake, so that Ogden has over 30,000, or Salt Lake has only 76.700 people. Jn Ogden the "wet" vote Avas 4.713, and the "drys" 3051. This is a proportionately heavier "wet" vote in Ogden than in Salt Lake, as the ratio i)3:140::x:47 would give Ogden over 3,120 for the "drys." The Third ward of Ogden was the only ward in the city to go "dry" and the Third ward in Salt Lake was the only "dry" ward in that city. v |
