Show The absorbing interest which is being taken in IB the impending election was clearly demonstrated ilffl by the registration of yesterday, which amounted B in this city alone to about 9,000. This is far j jS in excess of the number registered during any j H year in a political campaign in Utah on the third '' fJ registration day. The fact that of these about j 75 per cent were Republicans shows that Repub- ! Ifl llcan voters are in earnest this year and that Hfl they realize the full import of the coming elec- ' :H tion. In the matter of registration, tho apathy H of the Americans was only parallel to that of jB the Democrats, neither of the two parties show- '"'11 ing any active or systematic work in attending to 1 H registration matters. The total registration in ftRI the city is now about 15,000, or about half of the "tffl total vote which it is expected will be cast in the TM county this fall. . JH |
