Early Monday morning party leaders were at their desks with their coats off and settled down to work on the last lap of the race.

Interest In the election has centered down in the State to the election of a Congressman. Judge Powers and Mr. Howell were both invisible, and it was stated that they were out of the city and would probably not be back until late Monday night or Tuesday. Americans Claim Salt Lake. At American party headquarters predictions pre-dictions were made that the party would carry Salt Lake county with a rush, while the Republicans made the same prediction on the floor below. Down in the county Democratio headquarters head-quarters for Salt Lake county not so much confidence was shown, although Mr. Dunbar, speaking for Chairman Matt Thomas, stated that their poll books showed 2500 majority. Mr. Dunbar Dun-bar qualified the statement by saying that he would believe nothing until the ballots were counted. Democrats Are Uneasy. A vague uneasiness and unrest was noticed in Democratic headquarters, both State and county. Although claims of safe majorities were made, it was evident that the leaders did not feel the confidence they bespoke. Clerks were busy over the poll books, making out new reports to gladden the eyes of those who cared to look. At Republican headquarters Chairman Chair-man Spry and his lieutenants were busy with callers, and there was a general gen-eral air of hurry and bustle that spoke of eleventh hour preparations. No claims were made by the American Ameri-can party of carrying the State, but a strong claim for the county was entered, en-tered, the county chairman, George L. Nye. stating that there was. no doubt of the ticket going through. In the j State it was clafmed that enough votes would be polled to show that the party was distinctly In favor and that another anoth-er campaign would carry it to victory. The great fear of all of the chairmen at this hour is of "roorbacks" and every means Is being adopted to prevent pre-vent any being set afloat. Every active worker In every party j will be out early Tuesday morning and will labor until the polls close at night, and will then prepare to take his part in the celebration of his party victory.
