I Iffi '. have been satisfied throughout the 11 carnpalfm that Salt Lake City Jig 1 would remain in the wet column. i ' Had it voted dry it would not have , yn been dry, but would merely have -' n ! changed tho sale of liquor from a Bp single glass to five gallonB. This ; could hardly be called a temper- IK; anca measure, even by the most, ill , radical prohibitionist. Tho law is m' plain as to what retailers of in- Jh toxicating beverages can do. I ' 1 i am confident that if the law is n given a fair trial, as it will be in D : Salt Lako and other cities and nj towns which have voted wet, the 1 li : people will be satisfied, that it f is means the propor regulation of the llji traffic. , ?1 ! The busine?s men of Salt Lake, j h entirely outside of tho liquor inter- ffl ' ests, have been a powerful factor ml ; in this campaign. They have gone r r ; on record against class legislation, jj ' and have gone on record to show i Br that they are not yet ready to im- B pair the progress of the city. I m The campaign has been a Btrenu- u . ous one because of the many ele- flj raants which have entered into it. K . I am satisfied with the result. n When I predicted that the, city K would go wet by 6000 majortiy, I w ' was not guessing, but based my Mi estimate upon a careful canvass W which our association had mado. " m ; GEORGE M. MACDOWELL, M, manager of the Manufacturers anrl ;w Business Men's Assoqiation of Utah. YiM ' SALT LAKE remains wet. By '1 ; a majority of 4730, according: ffi to complete unofficial returns 9 from every voting district in the . city, the people have voted for j regulated and licensed saloons and against prohibition. Official re- m turns may change slightly this jEj majority but will not materially m affect the general result. The j M wets have swept the city. 1 H Tho anti-prohibitionists carried every I jj ward in Salt Lalio City but one. and JR almost held their own with the prohi- l bitionists in that ward, which was al- tiM ways conceded to the drys. The major- I'm ity'in the First was large and that of fe- the Second proportionately larger. The CfH drys carried the Third and ran the lm wets close in the Fourth. Tho Fifth tira was overwhelmingly wet. tWt Sheets Concedes Defeat. m At midnight lust night George Mac- fig Dowell. manager of the Manufacturers' I Hal and Business Meirs Association of Utah, f u3 claimed the city by nearly 6000 votes, KOli while Edwin S. Sheets, manager of tho Salt Lake Antl-LIquor league." conceded InjA the" city to the wets by from 2000 to 4000 MSgj majority. fjfn The election was the first local option election ever held In Salt Lake and in tho Xjj state. The vote was large and declslvo i MB 1 enough to indicate clearly tho sentiment -431 1 of the people.
