The Democrats celebrated their victory before election iv, and it was certainly pitiful to see the gloomy Republicans anding on the street corners taking the gibes and bantering marks unmercifully hurled at them by their victorious emocratic opponents. The Democrats posted their bets on the oards and dared the Republicans to take them. It looked like general snowstorm. It was, but the gull darned storm turned to a blizzard on election day and the Democrats refused to to the polls and vote and as a result the Republicans stacked p nearly two to one votes against the Democrats.. When the returns began to roll in, it was the Republicans to celebrate and all traffic down town came to a standstill Srn the jubilant Republicans took possession of the city and ate. They formed into long lines of parade, with banners fly-anrl bands playing. It was then that the Democrats wished The Democrats iey had held off their premature celebration. osed up their campaign headquarters and went home to bed to wp off a severe headache but they could not go to sleep the noisy Republicans carried their celebration far into ie middle of the night. Never was there such a one sided victory for the Republics in the history of this state, nor did the Democrats ever feel sure of victory preceding election as they did at this time. It roved to be a double celebration that ought to make both parties The i g, be-ui- se H Rood. Now that the election is over, the people can see some things pt they cannot figure how the Democrats in this county disap-pareAccording to results, had the election been put off two weeks there would have been no .Democrats in the unty at all, and Democratic strongholds in other counties to have been successfully mined by the winning Re- d. an-jtli- er ap-,ear- od wMicai. wore against the Democrats from the beginning. ago, Ilcber J. Grant told his people that Reed llnpot had been a good senator for the state and wo ought to hii!i there as long.as he wished to retain the office, and the tion shows that the people had good memories. The business wrests got behind Senator Smoot solidly and the Republican y "'.is better organized than ever because of the anticipation I &ha:d fight at the polls, and the many straight Republican ;.Thc odds jVr a vear votes cast, was conclusive evidence that not many bothered about scratching their tickets. In this county, the Republicans were greatly enforced and supported when Sheriff Ben R. Harries was forced on the Democratic ticket. The only endorsement Sheriff Harries had was the Betterment Leaguers, while Clifford Patten had all the other organizations behind him, and he polled the highest vote on the Salt Lake county ticket, receiving 30,440 votes and. defeating Sheriff Harries by 11,607 .votes. Those who pushed Sheriff Harries on theDemocratic ticket are now being blamed, for the Democratic defeat in this county,. but we believe the final result would have been the same with any other man against Patten, so why add insult to injury when Harries is down and out as far as the sheriffs office is concerned. Much comment is heard on the streets regarding the scarcity of Gentiles on both tickets. Such a condition never existed, before until this election. Probably the Gentiles did not care for places on Die ticket, but that appears absurd. The people should be generally represented to secure the best government. For this campaign, the Democrats opened up their state headquarters many months ahead of the Republicans, and many Republicans resented their inactivitiy while the Democrats were actively at work. However, the Republicans had only so much money to put into the campaign and they planned a short and hot one and it proved entirely too hot for the Democratic party, which was never so disastrously defeated as at this election. The Democrats were well organized and that fact made the Repub-- , lieans work like beavers and their hard work is reflected in the grand victory. n As state chairman for the Republican party, Carl R. scored his first home run hit at bat. and finally put over a winner upon his third attempt as state chairman. He had a good organization under his direction and his estimate of the possible majority vote that Senator Reed Smoot would receive proves that he was in close touch with his efficient organization. Jesse Sharp as County Chairman worked harder than ever before. It looked like a real battle in this county and Chairman Sharp did not overlook a single vote. He was playing safety first from the first day headquarters opened and the batting average of his organization was entirely too much for the Democrats. . . ...
