party has insisted that the issue ia
church domination of the schools, and
that the non-partisan ticket is a Nor

ton is not a test OF strength between
Mormons and gentiles. The vote was
almost SO percent less than that at

predicted, but the spending officials

be followed by reduction of tax levy
for the municipal debt.
