HANNA|1ES ARE SORE
Disguised Over Results of Yes
terday's Registration.
BEATEN BY DEMOCRATS
IN NEARLY EVERY DISTRICT
LATTER ARE AHEAD.

Gloom as black as midnight settled
down on Republican county headquar-
tiers last night as the workers came
struggling in from all over the city, all
telling the same story-the story of
how the Democrats skinned" them in
the registration for the day In many
of the districts the Republican organ
ization went all to pieces. and in buc
two or three of the districts of the en-
tire city did they seem to get the best
of their opponents, and even there it is
questionable.
Every Republican worker who would
express himself told of the indiffer-
ence OF the Republican voters and the
utter impOssibility to get them to the
places OF registration. So much was
this the case that Dennis Eichnor. who
so seldom loses his temper rallied last
night like a little man at these lag
CARDS. He said it was a shame that
When laws are provided to enable every
voter to take a part in the running of
the government, people will sit back
ana not attend to the simplest duty.
Hanna Carriages Out.
The Republicans had carriages in
every district yesterday, and workers
until they stood around in each others
way, but they could not bulge the
stay-at-homes and turned in at night
very sore and much discouraged. On
the contrary, the Democrats were jubi-
lant. They were positive that they had
added to their already good lead in the
city, and that they had whipped the
Republicans to a standstiI from one
end of the county to the other.
1t was a clear demonstration Of what
good organization will do, and it was a
demonstration at the same time that
men working for a principle will work
better and accomplish more than when
they are working simply for so much
per day and their hearts are not in the
work.
The total registration yesterday was
close to 5000, and this will bring the
total registration to date up to about
$500. All the figures were not OBJ
tainable last night, but it was thought
at both headquarters that the average
Tor the day to the district would be
very near 100. The twenty-three dis
tricts heard from. including some from
every precinct in the city, registered
2,125, or an average of ninety-two to
the district, and this average would
make the total for the day 4, 784. Both
cha1rmen agree that there are between
1000 and 5000 voters still to register in
the city on Oct. 80 and 81.
Chairman Wilson Happy.
Chairman Wilson had the appearance
last night of a man who had done a
hard but very satisfactory days work
but instead of resting on his laureIs he
was busy getting ready for the final
rush of the last two days of registra-
ton, and if any Democrat escapes on
those days he will be a long way from
Salt Lake.
4 am perfectly satisfied with the sit
uation as it stands tonight he said
we got very much the best of it to-
day and our friends on the other side
VIII admit it among themselves. We
had the best of it before, and today's
work only added to the size of our ma
JOr1ty- Our organization is running
like clock work and the boys are work.
ing splendidly all along the line
Dennis Eichnor claimed the earth as
is his custom, but there was no hearth
ness in his claims this time.
Yes" he said; I'VE got the best of
it. OF course you will make the same
old stereOtyped claim that we hauled
Democrats in our carriages all day
long, but you just wait till the votes
are counted and we will show you what
we hauled"
Then Dennis went off on his scold
about the voters who will not get out
and register and vote. He thought that
the registration for the day would run
between 1000 and 5000, and still main
tains that the total will foot up over
900.
No figures were received last night
from the registration in the country
districts.
