Republicans for the Plan There is a suprisingly large number of Republicans in favor of the Presidents court reform plan. The Republicans supporting the plan will overcome by a big majority those Democrats who are opposed to the plan. According to the reports received by the Utah Labor News the strongest Republican support for the plan is in lleaver county, where 50 per cent of the Republicans contacted expressed themselves in favor of the plan. Fifteen per cent of the Republicans supporting the plan is the weakest in any county. The counties giving 15 per cent support are: Garfield, Iron, Piute, Rich, San Juan, and Sanpete. All other counties run more than 15 per cent and less than 50 per cent of the Republicans support for the plan. Figure it any way you may, according to the reports, and the opponents of the court plan cannot get any satisfaction whatever. One thing the reports proves is the fact that Utah is a strong, progressive, Itoosevelt state. The President is stronger in this state today than he was a year ago. There is no doubt about that. The reports of the Utah Labor News observers predicted the returns of last election within a few hundred votes, nearest correct of predictions from any other source. We have reason to believe that if a poll were taken with all registered voters casting a ballot on the Presidents court plan our estimates would be nearest correct.
