When he went out 20 milk her the first
night after the purchase he told her 10
hist. She rather OVerdid it. as he said
afterwaTd. She kicked him clear out
of the stable"
And again Chairman Spry smiled
/ broadly. Continuing. ne said that he
attributed the result i'm Utah largely 10
the Roosevelt landslide generally. He
also believed that the effective organi-
cation arranged and maintained by the
Republicans had much 10 do with the
outcome.
Senator Simon Bamberger, chairman
OF the Democratic state committee
President ROosevelt's former residence
in the west and his personal popularity
undoubtedly were great factors i'm the
result. For my part, 1 am still chair
man of the Democratic party Of the
state of Utah elected for four wears.
A good Democrat never dies nor r.
sings. and I'm going TO hang 10 my
z
qualities" said the senator.
Chairman Willard +. Snyder OF the
American party expressed himself as
/ being well pleased indeed with the re-
suit we polled a large vote said
Mr. Snyder, "a larger vote than VIC an

The Utah State band played "ThereII
Be 2 Hot Time" Dixie Marching
Through Georgia. The Red. White
and Blue" and other numbers at the
expense Of the Republican county COM
mittee last night. There vas plenty
doing in The headquarters Of this com
mittee. The rooms were damned with
men who smoked all kinds Of cigars
except good cigars and made merry for
several hours.
The proceedings were enlivened by
remarks by Harry Joseph. Harry tried
to tell a story but the crowd insisted
on 'jollying' him. Somebody said.
| Aye, hear the noble Antony" ana
Harry came down of Of his perch. Joe
Eldredge, county chairman and county
clerk-elect, was next lifted up where
/ his admirers might see him. But Joe
was too tired to talk. Then a parade
was organized and. headed by the
/ band. couple of bundled Republicans
marched around town for an hour or
more.
At the headquarters of the RepubH-
can state committee there were mora
dOings. Senator perhaps George Suth-
/ erland was there So were Apostle
/ George A. Smith, E. II. Callister. z. D.
r. Thompson. District JudEe-ebect
Richie and other prospective RepuhE-
( can officials Several hours were spent
/ in receiving and extending cOngratula-
tons Everybody was willing to con
cede that IL there was anything in sight
I the Republicans had not captured it
was because they didn't go after IL
very hard. It was conceded. also, that
| these are great times for the Repub-
lican party.
At Democratic county headquarters
nobody showed up last night There
was really no reason why anybody
should show 10. No Democratic rati-
( fication had been scheduled
Democratic state headquarters we're
as lively as a mud fence. The lights
We're all out. So were the men and
women who have been freQuenting the
headquarters for the last few weeks
Nobody had announced that joyful pro-
ceedings would ae pulled of at Demo-
cratic state headquarters.
The American party headquarters
held a few people. but not many. Those
who We're there talked with more or
less cheerfulness about the outcome
But there was little spontaniety about
the remarks and the lights were. turned
out early.
