Show 1 Salt Lake City, Nov. S. While at nearly 2 o'clock this morning Glen I Filler, chairman of the state com- I mittee of the Republican party, still I claimed a probability that Nephi L. 1 Morris, the Republican candidate, I would be elected governor, the indi- I cations from the returns coming in I from every section of the state seemed r to pile up the majorities of the Demo- H cratic candidates. It was evident Va that Wilson and King had made a I clean sweep and that Bamberger II would have a safe majority over Mor-l Mor-l ris. I Glen Miller, Republican state chalr- I man, said last night I; "President Wilson has carried the E state by more than 5,000 and the in- r ( dications are that Senator Sutherland r ' is beaten. We hope to have the gov- I; ornor." t Mathonihah Thomas, Democratic Blate chairman, said: I "Wilson has carried the slate by I more than 12,500 and the entire Demo- j- cratic ticket is elected by almost as lj Treat a majority. ' f Never before in the history of Salt Lake county was there so much i scratching of tickets. One-half of the districts of Salt Lake county which had been heard from at midnight showed 4,197 Republican, G.CG5 Democratic Demo-cratic on the straight tickets. But in these districts there were 7,451 scratched tickets and the counting of these seemed to be giving results favorable fa-vorable to the Republicans. Utah county will give a big majority, major-ity, for the Democratic state ticket, as well as electing the county ticket. Weber, Cache, Summit and Davis counties have elected their legislative tickets, according to the returns received, re-ceived, and have added to the Democratic Demo-cratic majorities In the state. President Wilson's majority in the state is figured at 10,000; King is credited with a 5,000 majority over Sutherland; - Bamberger's majority over Morris will be smaller, but decisive. de-cisive. Both branches of the state legislature leg-islature will be Democratic. Congressman Con-gressman James Mays, in the Second district, has been elected and the Democrats claim also the election of M. H. Welling in the first district. Complete returns from outlying counties will not be compiled for several sev-eral days, as the official results are slow in coming In. nn |
