Show Beaver County Joins j In Democratic Sweep All Democratic County Candidates Elected, Most; By Impressive Majorities; Amendments Are j Snowed Under Bv Milford Voters I 4 With the single exception of the district judgeship, in which case Judge Leroy H. Cox of St. George, incumbent, Republican candidate for reelection, who was given a majority in this county of 166 votes over Will L. Hoyt of Nephi, Beaver county got on the Democratic Demo-cratic bandwagon and "went to town" with a vengeance last Tuesday. Tues-day. Not a republican in Beaver county was elected and those who were fortunate in other counties are about as scarce as the proverbial pro-verbial hen's teeth. All state candidates can-didates on the Democratic ticket were victorious by overwhelming-majorities, overwhelming-majorities, including Governor Henry H. Blood, who was thought by some to be in a precarious position po-sition by reason of the independent inde-pendent candidacy of Ogden's playboy play-boy mayor, Harman W. Peery, who ran a poor third in Tuesday's election, with Blood carrying Peery's home county, Weber, by nearly a thousand plurality, Though Peery received more votes (54) in Milford than in all the remainder re-mainder of Beaver county, Blood is shown to have received 52 per cent of the Milford gubernatoi-ial vote. Beaver county as a whole cut the Blood plurality over Dillman, Republican Re-publican candidate, to a margin of 6, by the latest unofficial vote tabulations tab-ulations contrary to the plurality given Dillman in the Tribune. State Representative Frank D. Low had the hardest sledding of any of the Democratic county candidates, can-didates, winning out over Alex R. Hamilton by a scant 43 votes. Theodore Bohn, for county attorney, attor-ney, and R. H. (Dick) Nelson, for two-year commissioner, made impressive im-pressive races, not to mention men-tion the huge vote given Beaver county's own Abe Murdock, candidate candi-date to succeed himself for a third term as congressman from the first Utah district, who was given nearly a thousand votes majority over his Republican opponent in Beaver county alone, while running ahead of President Roosevelt's vote in almost all of the smaller counties of his district. Though constitutional amendment amend-ment No. 5, which would empower the coming legislature to enact a law allowing an exemption of $2000 on homes and $300 on personal per-sonal property, appears to have passed by a small majority in the state as a whole, it was the only amendment to do so. In Beaver county all the proposed amendments amend-ments received decisive negative majorities, including No. 5. In Milford, Mil-ford, this exemption proposal was voted down by a 73 per cent negatives nega-tives vote of the 432 votes cast on this proposal. Minersville gave this proposal an almost-two-to-one favorable fav-orable vote, with Beaver No. 1 following suit in slightly less proportion pro-portion and Beaver 2 and 3 going against the proposal by two and 29 votes respectively. Despite Beaver county's lead of 166 votes, Millard county's 235 votes, and the magnificent majority ma-jority of 487 votes from his own ! Election Winners President FR'NKLIN D.
