In Burgess precinct, Lund for the council
and Adams for the house, received ID votes
each.
Eighteen votes were cast for the Liberal
ticket at Deep Greek. There was only one
ticket in the field.
There were nine Republican and two
Democratic votes cast at Georgetown dur
ing the late election.
Ferron, Emery county, gave: Melville 80,
Olson 81, and the county officials similar
number. There was no opposition.
Sewer county people had q rousing rati-
ication meeting at Richfield a few days
ago. Hon. w. II. Seegmiller. Solomon
Sprague, G.. n. Bean and J. h. Wright
were the leading spirits in the movement
Several bands were out and for the time
being Richfield took on the airs of a metro
polls. The guests from outside towns
were royalty entertained st the Wright
house. The meeting, held in the bowery,
which was elegantly decorated for the &C.
casion was called to order by Hon. A. ID.
Thurber, chairman of the county central
Democratic committee. Short, spicy and
telling speeches were made, and each was
listened to with the most profound atten-
ton. Richfield never before witnessed
such gathering Of intelligent men and
women. All appear to be satisfied with
the officers elected.
Hon. f. A. Hammond writes as follows ::
Elections were held in but two precincts
in San Juan county, Bluff and Monticello.
There were three tickets in the field, Citi-
zens, Democratic and Peoples. The
straight Citizens TICKET brought out at the
county convention held at Monticello, had
for selectmen Hanson Bagles, Of Blum, and
T. /. Jones, OF Monticello; W. E. Hyde for
school superintendent After the conven-
top, the voters at Monticello bolted the
ticket and placed two more tickets in the
field, one, the Democratic, having II. j.
Nelson for selectman and G. e. Walton for
county school superintendent. Nelson got
votes out of IL cast here, and the chances
are that with The aid of the boilers at
Monticello he will be elected, and the same
may De said of Walton for super
intendent Of schools. No doubt it
will be news. to you to learn that the
Peoples party. after being dead some five
months, is still alive and Kicking in San
Juan county. 1 am not very proud of this
political picture for our county, but you
know. i suppose, that the Mormon church
is OFT of politics, and now we have the
privilege to make our own tickets and vote
just as we darn please, which, by the way,
has always been the case SO far as the
church was concerned, but we could not
make other people believe It, We had a
very similar occurrence at our election
here q year ago. This is good opportun-
ity to invite some of our political stump
speakers TO come down here and take up a
labor with the voters of this county and
see il they cannot be converted to some
form of political doctrine and practice
that will cause them TO stick to what their
delegates in convention adopt. / hope to
hear that the Democratic ticket throughout
the territory was elected and during the
late campaign that every Republican gun
was spiked"
