They had hopes Rulon Ru-lon twin brother of Rolon would turn up eventually, alive and well. Friends interceded with Utah congressmen and the war department decided the Borgstrom family had made enough sacrifices. The fifth brother, Boyd, was sent home a month ago with an honorable discharge. dis-charge. But the hopes for Rulon were to no avail.

MOLER United Press Staff Correspondent SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 7 vu; What may be a record number of Utah voters went to the polls today despite intermittent showers to mark their ballots and end their part in the hectic 1944 Utah political campaign. A random check of voting districts dis-tricts In representative areas brought replies like these: "The heaviest I can remember" . . . "more than 25 per cent of our voters were here in the first two hours" . . . "by 11 o'clock more than 250 out of our district's 400 votes were cast" . . . "the rain isn't making a darned bit of difference." dif-ference." In previotrr elections, a vote of 20 per cent in a district by noon was considered pretty good. So a vote of around 30 to 40 per cent by 11 a. m. bears out the previous forecast of a heavy elec torate turnout. There are about 270,000 regis tered voters In the state. A Tjpte of the size indicated by noon means that the total vote by to- nieht should mean that 1940's to tal of 247,628 would be surpassed. Just which party the apparent heavy vote favors Is something else. One observer explained that "the early voters are labor' ers casting their ballots before going to work and that's a good sign for the Democrats." Another declared that the early showing was made by Republicans who were aroused against the Demo cratic national and state admin istrations and wanted to get their protests in eariy. Any way you look at It, the early turnout proves that interest in the 1944 campaign is really high. The polls will close at 7 p. m. But because of the heavy vote and the manpower shortage among election officials, it's doubtful that the decisive returns in Utah's bitter contests will be in much before midnight Around polling places, conversation conver-sation it's illegal to discuss partisan par-tisan politics at the polls but it's done anyway was devoted almost al-most entirely to the presidential, senatorial and gubernatorial contests. con-tests. President Roosevelt is heavily favored to win Utah's four elec toral votes, possibly by a margin of more than 25,000 votes, over Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. The 1940 totals were 154,277 for Roosevelt and 93,131 for Willkie, plus 200 for Norman Thomas, the perennial peren-nial Socialist candidate. The senatorial contest between Sen. Elbert D. Thomas and Dr. Adam S. Bennion was expected to be extremely close. In the 1940 election the last senatorial election here the Democratic candidate, Abe Murdock, won over Phllo Farnsworth, GOP nominee, 155,499 to 91,931.

One of the heaviest voting reports re-ports came from district No. 12 with 120 votes cast before noon. District 15, not far from there, turned in a report of 11 votes cast by 1 o'clock, and a steady stream of voters reported coming In. District No. 5 in tha southern part of the city reported 110 voters, and the judges in district 10, east of North. University Ave-nu.e Ave-nu.e had handed out 108 ballots by 12 o'clock today.

An idea of how heavy the absentee ab-sentee ballots have been cast may be gleaned from the reports in district 6, with 79 absentee ballots bal-lots to count There were 18 ah sen tee ballots in district 28. Most of the local districts had been provided with double sets of judges, one set to count the votes and another to check the voting lists and handle the ballots. bal-lots.

The counting judges are under the surveillance of the constable at all times. In order that no premature reports of how the voting is going may leak out to party checkers. It is predicted that the results will be available before 9 o'clock in most of the city districts. where double eti of judges have been employed. The election was the chief topic of discusssion on the streets, in the restaurants, lobbies and public pub-lic .offices throughout the day. Servicemen's relatives generally evinced greater than usual interest, inter-est, although there was little agreement as between Dewey and Roosevelt supporters. $6,400,000 To Be Distributed to Beet Growers SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 7 CJJO General Manager Douglas E.
