As the returns from Utah begin to filter in it is apparent that President AVilson has rolled up a majority in the state of approximately 15,000, possibly possib-ly greater, and tne same returns indicate indi-cate that the Democratic state ticket has carried the state by nearly as much. In many instances the Democratic Demo-cratic state nominees . almost kept pace with their national standard bearer, in others they are slightly behind be-hind him. Simon Bamberger, governor-elect, ran almost equal with Wilson in the Eixty districts. He received 13.12S votes against 8,745 votes for Nephi L. Morris, who also outdistanced Hughes SIMON BAMBERGER Simon Bamberger is a native ' of Germany, but came to America fifty years ago, and to Salt Lake City forty-eight forty-eight years ago.

The result of the election in Utah and in Salt Lake county could not be explained by either the Republican or the Democratic Demo-cratic leaders. While the Democrats insisted that it was due to organization organiza-tion work a number of the leaders who were surprised at the Democratic party carrying Utah said that it "just happened." Reports from the greater part of the state showed that the Democratic victory was not confined solely to Salt Lake and Weber counties, but that every county in the state voted for the Democratic ticket, with the possible pos-sible exception of Garfield county, from which reports have not as yet been received. It was said by the Democratic headquarters that claims had been made by chairmen that every county in the state had gone for Wilson. Wil-son. Salt Lake county's vote was the largest pver ast in an eIeclion in the county.
