rather than over The total vote cast for the mayoral mayoralty ty candidates was The day da was from the th standpoint all but perfect The sun shone brightly and the air was wall almost t The voters turned out of them going to the polls without waiting for conveyances of or any kind Generally speaking the election was a quiet one though It was not without interesting incidents One of them was the fact that the voting district in i which President Jo Joseph Joseph Josephi seph F Smith of the Mormon church and Apostle John Henry Smith reside was carried by the Americans This was the In the Fourth district a heavyweight voter tore tare the handle handie off of the machine This because the judge In charge failed to lift tilt the knob when the voter was behind the curtain The break was quickly repaired and the voting went wenton on In the Deputy Sheriff Joe Toe Sharp threatened to arrest the special special special cial policemen appointed by the council if Ir they did not desist from attempting to Instruct They desisted and peace was restored Looked Good for Morris Early in the day it looked as if Mor Morris Morris ris would surely run far ahead of Plummer So certain was the general pUblic of or this tills that bets were offered on Second South street at odds of or a high as two to one that Morris would beat bear Plum t Last night the Americans celebrated ed their victory in bibulous style Every saloon In the downtown district was crowded with them and fisticuffs were of frequent occurrence Nobody was tas hurt however and at midnight the streets and Saloons were comparatively com comparatively para ly clear cear The use u us of the voting machines made early returns possible and nd there was no no occasion for anybody not inclined to inebriation to stay down town late How It Happened The returns tell the story said Ashby Snow chairman of the Demo Democratic Democratic Democratic cratic city committee last night The Democrats are defeated I have noth nothing nothIng nothIng ing to say about the whys why and the wherefores I do wish to say sa however that from the tle U e bottom bot om of my heart the Democrats who wh stood by me fn this fight They
