n ETURNs from Salt Lake CITY an

n ETURNS from salt Lake City and
X county are coming in slowly be-
cause OF the great amount Of
scratching, but the county is conceded
to Roosevelt. A distinct feature Of the
situation is the vote of the American
party ticket, which appears to be much
stronger than had been generally ex-
pected. At $3.50 O'Clock this morning
meagfe returns indicated small plurali-
ties for Republican candidates. These
returns were mostly made on straight
tickets and the large percentage Of
scratched ballots makes il difficult 20
arrive at definite conclusion regard
ing the outcome of the count. It is be-
lieved Democratic candidates win
profit by the scratching more than Re
publicans.
Analysis Of the returns. in the
absence Of complete reports from any
except one or two districts. is impossi-
bic The partial returns from seven

over Moyle and incomplete returns

State Ticket in Doubt
Republicans claim that Roosevelt

the Democratic leaders. who contend
that the lead is TOO small 10 justify the
claim OF a sweeping Republican vic

There has been more scratching
than in any election i'm the history OF
the state. This is in part due to the
fact that the American party ticke
bore the names of no presidential cleo
tors and the majority Of the supporters
of that movement voted for names or
more than one ticket. Democratic
scratching, so far as can be ascertained
