Show THE "AMERICAN" GAIN. A comparative table, showing the relative strength of the American party in the elections of 1904 and 1905, has been compiled by F. L. Hines, superintendent of water works, and will be of the greatest interest to people who watch the political politi-cal fluctuations in this municipality. The figures are based on the vote for Ogden Hiles in the two elections, Mr. Hiles being chosen because the vote for him seems to show most evenly and fairly the growth of the Gentile party. The figures indicate that the total increase in the Gentile vote was approximately 66 per cent over the year before. Of the five precincts, the 'lowest increase, 44 per cent, was shown in the second, while the fourth precinct made the biggest big-gest showing, with an increase of 91 per cent. The total vote for Mr. Thompson this year was only 500 in advance of the vote cast two years ago for Mr. Knox, the Gentile Republican candidate. As the major portion of the Mormon strength went to Morris two years ago, the figures fig-ures on this basis show that not more than two or three hundred at most of the younger Mormons Mor-mons voted the American party ticket this year. Mr. Hines' detailed compilation follows: Comparative American vote, 1904-1905, taking Hiles 1904 and Hiles 1905. Per Dist. Hiles. Hiles. Inc. Dec.
