How Utah Voted For president: Landslide Assures of Support on All Vital Legislation. Administra-ito- n La Follette For governor: The seemingly never ending stream of returns from every nook and corner of the country has subsided and the greatest presidential election the country has ever known now Is history. That President Calvin Coolidge was accorded the support for which his party battled throughout the campaign cannot be denied. The President has been given the support that will mean so much to his administration, through the selection of members of the senate and house who are of his own party. Several Important Items mark the election of President Coolidge as most remarkable In such events. Among them may be enumerated the generous support that was given in the election to the senate and house of members of the Presidents party a substantial majority In both branches; what might have proved a thorn In the side of the the President and his LaFollette faction has been dispelled ; the election was not thrown into congress as had been feared ; approval of Iresident Coolidges course by approximately 18,000,000 votes.

George H. Dern will be the next governor of Utah. Outside of the gubernatorial contest, the Republican state and congressional tickets have been elected. The county ticket in Salt Lake county appears equally safe. Mabey Visits Dern Governor Mabey visited Mr. Dem in his office in the Newhouse building, and personally extended congrat ulations on the victory, and promised him whatever assistance and support he might require, both in preparing to assume, and after assuming the duties of executive of the state. He tendered him the use of the machinery of the governors office for obtaining whatever information he might require. 'The governor and his successor-elecdiscussed the campaign, and congratulated each other that it had been free from personalities?, and had been fought out on the issues. Governor Mabey Subsequently made public a brief statement outlining his attitude: I accept the verdict of the electorate, he said, with equanimity. The people have spoke their choice, and I shall exert my full influence to make the next administration a complete success. My hearty congratulations go forth to Mr. Dem, I pledge my unqualified support to him in his new duties as chief executive. Also I acknowledge my profound gratitude for the support I received at the polls, and thank my friends who gave me their vote and their xssistance in connection with my candidacy. Furthermore, I wish to commend the many party workers who worked unceasingly to elect the Republican ticket. Later in the evening Mr. Dern issued a statement reading: .I am keenly sensible of the distinction to which my fellow citizens have raised me by electing me governor of my state. I want to thank the members of the Democratic party, who have given me their united and unstinted support throughout the campaign. My sincere thanks also go to the Progressives, who first favored me with their unsolicited endorsement and then supported me as if I had been their own nominee. I should be blind to the facts if I did not see that thousands of Republicans voted for me. I am grateful to them for their confidence and t good will. I am also very sorry that the remainder of our state ticket was not I stated in every speech I elected. made that I considered it the strongest ticket that has ever been nominated by a poliical party in Utah, and I feel that it is unfortunate that all these good men were not elected, because they were all exceptionally 'frell qualified to serve the state. My own ambition is to further the development and upbuilding of thf state of Utah and the welfare of Its people. After all, we should recognize that party lines do not mean much in our state problems. These important subjects do not depend up on political labels, but rather upon & patriotic desire to make Utah the best state in the union. I solicit the support and assistance of all citizens to this end. |
