Dern was elected governor of I'tah yesterday to succeed Governor Car!es II. Mabey; teut that, if this is the case, Mr. Deru will have a Republican set of state officers to work with. It appeared that the scratching of the ballot was largely against Governor Mabey, although in Salt Lake county ther;e was also some scratching of W. II. Stenacker and K.

Unless unusual upseta are revealed in belated returns, President Coolidge will receive a substantial majority over the combined strength of John W. Davis and Robert M. La Follotte in the electoral college. The president's lead may even rival that of Harding in the landslide of 1920, when the Republicans gathered in 404 of the 631 electoral votes.

One Jiathct in thia city, for example, 62, cart 131 vote out of a total registration of 148, or about 88 per cent. Several of thoae registered but not voting were known to be out of the eity, and some of the others had voted there two years ago and since have removed from the district. PBOQaES8rVE8 VOTE STRAIGHT. One feature of the vote waa that a very considerable number of the ballots perhaps enough to turn the election in a close contest cast by the Progressives wore "straight." In that instance this meant that these voters voted only for president, and not lor the state or any other tieket. Home Democrats were inclined to complain of such treatment. The Democratic state organization, they said, had let La Toilette alone, with the idea that the Progressives would reciprocate by giving a atronger support La Follette voters fo the Democratic than to the Republican candidates. who stopped with the cross in the cirele under tha Liberty Bell were not thus reciproeating. Governor Mabey 'a supporters wera willing to atate that, aa to the success of their candidate, which they still claimed, tha vote was not ao conclusive as they would have liked. Nevertheless, they pointed to the large plurality in most cases a majority of the straight ballots that were Republican, and aaid that in the scratched bailota it would be found, when the count waa in, about tha same proportion wera Republican. This, they argued, would put tha Republican atate ticket over by a comfortable margin. DEMOCRATS CONTTDENT. The Democrats saw no reason in the early returns for altering their claims that Dern would have a majority of soma thonaands, and the atate as much. ticket about Karly Indications appeared to support their claims to a heavy awing to Dern in Salt Lake ami Weber counties, and possibly aoma others.

The street waa crowded so that it was difficult to paes on either side. These returns seemed to meet with general approval, although there were no wild demonstrations, as though the result waa aa expected. CROWDS AT HEADQUARTERS. t club headquarters on West Many gathered at "Second South atreet, and there waa a house full at both Republican and Democratic headquarters rooms in .the Hotel Utah and New house hotel All of these places supplied telegraphic news. Local news also was received and given out at both state headquarters, as waa that from over the state as fast as received. At La Follette headquarters in the Commercial building a telegraph wire kept the follower of the Wisconsin senator informed, and another- wire gave news which waa dispensed bv the s management of the Newhouse hotel, independent of the Democratic located there.
