Senator Paddock-I do not wish 10 dis
parage Helena, but when my friend says
Helena has population as large as Salt
Lake he is certainly not acquainted with the
situation. Salt Lakes population is today
at least double that OF Helena and III Helena
shall come in the future to be as great city
as Salt Lake, with the conditions favorable
to the building up OF great city that exist
at the latter place IN an exceptionaDle de-
gree il will do very well indeed, vastly bet
ter than its most sangulue friends expect
Senator Plumb replied that the Senator
magnilied the population or Salt Lake City,
and that only ., 700 or $500 votes were cast
in the late election, at which the entire vote
was brought out.
Senator Paddock-I suppose II is we'll
known to the senator that very large num-
ber of those who uuder ordinary circnm-
stances form part of the voting population
of Salt Lake are eliminated on account OF a
certain unfortunate condition of things
which exists there. thinkl IT may be safe
to say that nearly two thousand votes were
eliminated under the law enforced there in
respect to the disqualification Of certain peo-
pie The voting population of Salt Lake
today is, venture to say, 5000, and think
the population is hard on TO $4,000.
Senator Vest also opposed the measure,
and the morning hour having expired the bill
went over
