ELECTION IN PORTO RICO.
Unionists Victorious Over Republic
ans at the Polls.

San Juan P r. Nov. THE Unionist
party scored an overwhelming victory at
the polls yesterday, carrying all the seven
districts of the island. The Republicans
are left without representation i'm the next
house of delegates.
The Unionists won in a ma ority of the
municipalities. the Republicans barely
saving San Juan. The Arecibo district
where the Federation of Labor made
concentrated effort with the assistance
OF Ss1 900 contributed by the American
Federation of Labor. made a surprisingly
INSIGNIFICANT showing, the vote cast
amounting to practically nothing.
The elections evoked much enthusiasm
but there were no disturbances, and yes
terday was the most orderly election day
since the American occupation.

new PARTY FOR
WEBER COUNTY
Performance of Tuesday Has
Inspired a Feeling of
Supreme Disgust.

Although the Republicans. who were
victorious in Tuesdays election, are try
ing to make it appear that now the fight
is over all is serene in Ogden and that the
strife has died away, there is quite a
feeling among many citizens over the re-
suit, which may mean that Ogden win
have an American" party ticket at the
next election. 1t is true that the Re
publican campaign managers and those
IN charge of the destinies of the Repub-
mean party in Weber county would like
to see the strife die away in order that
they could turn a similar trick at the
next election with but little effort
Judge III. II. Rolapp, who returned yes
tsrday from bIsinNs trip sald that
there was no election-it was merely an
appointment or a designation. There
seems to be a general feeling that the
defeat of j. d. Skeen for county attor-
ney means that there will be a cessation
of the work that Mr.. Skeen has been do
ing in the prosecution of the public Of
ficials. This opinion is altogether wrong.
Mr. Skeen will continue his fight against
graft more vigorously than ever.
Hint of New Party.
Mr. Skeen stated yesterday that he did
not feel at all vindictive for the reason
that he was defeated. when a fellow
goes into "A political fight ne must expect
TO get licked he said. There has got
TO be a revival of interest here through
some party-perhaps under new name"
AS to his future course, Mr.. Skeen said
that il may be necessary for him to
cease his activity for a short space of
time account of his private business,
which has suffered during the time he
has been devoting his attention to the
prosecution of graft However, he faVOrs
the formation of law and order COM
mittee and said that number of private
citizens had called upon him yesterday
TO obtain his views on such a movement
and that the preliminary steps for such
an organization were already under way.
Mr.. Skeen said in this connection that the
chief of police and other OF the city Of
ficials had better get busy and close the
dives. as well as see that the liquor laws
are observed, if they cared for their po-
sitioDs. He declared that the situation
within the city was disgraceful and cited
an instance a case where a young man
making but $50 per month had been spend
ing and gambling away three times that
amount each month. He said that there
were many similar cases and that with
the organization of the proper committee
of citizens he would see that the slot ma
chimes and other gambling devices which
he was led to believe were in full blast
would have to. be closed up permanently.
