NJ KINLEY WINS
BY NARROW VOTE
Plurality In the State Less
Than 1000.
REPUBLICANS ELECT
ENTIRE STATE TICKET
Democrats In Some Offices In
Salt Lake County.

Returns received from all over Utah
yesterday and last night indicate that
McKinley's plurality will be cut down
considerably. It viii probably fan he
low the 1000 mark. The Democratic
state ticket is running somewhat ahead
OF the electoral ticket but the gain is
not sufficient to elect a single one of
the nominees.
Judge King carried Salt Lake county
by nearly 200 plurality, but Sutherland
will beat him in the state by a. small
majority. The election developed 2
number of surprises TO both Democrats
and Republicans. Districts that mad
been counted surely Republican went
the other way, while more that had
been thought Democratic showed a bal
ance on the Republican side
W. c. Hall has certainly defeated III.
L. Richie FOR district Judge. and the
chances are that s. w Stewart will
have a plurality over T. d. Lewis. With
only a few districts in TOOeIe county
to hear from, Hall has 1887. Stewart.
l5 706; Richards, 15,101: Morse 5S25:
Lewis, $3.50, and Richie. 151O2 1t is
possible, but not probable that the
missing districts will elect Lewis. but
Hall cannot be beaten.
For district attorney Dennis G. Eich-
nor has small plurality, and is un-
questiOnably elected.
Salt Lake County Vote.
The Salt Lake comfy vote is a puz-
zleT. With four small districts TO hear
from Judge II. p. henderson is only
thirty-flve votes behind George n. Law
renee, the lowest man on the ReDUb-
Iican senatorial ticket. The four miss
ing districts are Little Cottonwood.
South Jordan, Draper and Herman.
On the basis of the presidential re-
turns received from there Judge Hen
derson should receive a net plurality
sufficient to overcome LawrenCe's lead.
RulOn S. Wells has certainly been
elected to the lower house. He has
a lead of sos votes over Fred McGurrin,
and will probably have more with com
plete returns McGurrin was sacrificed
by the Lannan element because Of his
well known friendship for Senator
Brown. He openly declared that he
would vote for Brown Tor the senate
and this caused his downfall
Ham Naylor is elected sheriff by a
majority Of over 1000. George Wood
succeeds himself as auditor, defeating
Frank Hines by a small but comfort
able majority. W. H. Dale is in all
probability elected treasurer He has d
good lead on the present returns. and
the missing districts can hardly defeat
him.
1t is likely also that the
Democrats have elected one aLR
possibly two county commissioners.
They are Horne and Woolley, both Of
whom ran ahead of Whitaker Harker
and Standish are the Republican nom
inees for commissioner who seem
| doomed to defeat.
Democrats Feel Better.

OcratS have reason to congratulate
themselves for saving as much as they
did from the landslide that struck them
along with the Democrats elsewhere
in the state. Chairman Wilson Te-
CeiVed many congratulations yesterday
on holding his own so well. for IL was
common understanding that the Repub-
licans expected to make their greatest
gains in this county
The Democrats all did particularly
well in this city, most of them running
considerably ahead of the electoral
ticket, a fact which continued to be the
chief topic of conversation yesterday.
/ Surprises were developed also in the
vote outside of salt Lake City and
county. For instance, Park City had
/ been promised absolutely to the RepuD-
/ licanS by Tom Kearns and his fellow
magnates Of the Silver King The Dem

ate from the district composed of sum

! claimed by the Republicans, but both
were carried by the Democrats.
Juab County Safe.
Juab county was also figured in the
