PROVO is DEMOCRATIC.
Home of Reed Smoot Chooses Charles
Becker for Mayor.
Especial to The Herald.)


Provo, Nov 5.-An ordinary Republican
ma jority of 500 or Whereabouts was over
turned completely here today when
Charles Becker, the Democratic candidate,
was elected mayor over ]. H. Frisbee,
the Republican nominee. The vote stood
135 to 900. Inasmuch as this is the home
of Senator Reed Smoot the Democrats
feel highly elated. The vote was along
party lines, both parties here being pretty
well agreed on the issues" as they re-
late to improvements.
After the polls closed tonight Mayor
elect Becker was the recipient of a dem
onstration in which bands took part and
in which he was drawn about in a buggy.
Mr.. Becker is prominent fruit buyer
The Democrats also elected the marshal
J. T. Williams, who, with vote of l 055,
was successful over his Republican Op-
ponent. Jonathan Buckley. who received
1005 votes.
The Democrats also elected a council
man in the First ward. with majority
of 13, and one in the Fifth with the close
margin of 3. One of the pleasant features
of the day was the absence of the eternal
strife between the east side and the west
side. The vote was late and the interest
was not especially general.
In addition to the figures given already
these are the results of the balloting:
Recorder-David Johnson, R, 1I24:

Day Propous for Bringing Out Full vote-What Charmen
Have to Say.

behind the curtain The break was
quickly repaired and the voting went
on.
In the Thirty-sixth Deputy Sheriff
Joe Sharp threatened to arrest the spe-
cial policemen appointed by the council
if they did not desist from attempting
to instruct voters. They desisted, and
peace was restored.
Looked Good for Morris.
Early in the day it looked as if Nor
ris would surely run far ahead of
Plummer. So certain was the general
public of this that bets were offered on
Second South street at odds of a. high
as two to one that Morris would beat
Plummer.
Last night the Americans celebrat-
ed their victory in bibulous style.
Every saloon in the downtown district
was crowded with them. and f1sticuffs
were of frequent occurrence. Nobody
was hurt, however, and at midnight
the streets and saloons were compare
lively clear.
The use of the voting machines made
early returns possible, and there was
no occasion for anybody, not inclined
to inebriation, to stay down town late.

In spite of the fact that one of the
hardest fought municipal elections ever
held in Salt Lake was going on, cleo
ton day was unusually quiet. There
was little disorder and no arrests. In
one or two districts Illegal voting was
reported, but the evidence against the
ones accused was not sufficient to war
rant arrests being made.
In every district in the city the Dem
Ocratic and American" workers went
to work early and continued with equal
persistency all day. The Republican
organization was not nearly so good.
There were but few carriages used by
that party, and its campaign workers
were apparently disheartened at the
prospect of fighting a losing game.

Vote Is Surprise.
The great surprise of the election was
the tremendous vote received by the
American" city ticket. 1t was known
that the Americans had a first-class
machine, that they were using every
effort to get out their votes. and that
they had practically unlimited means
at their command. but it was generally
believed that the vote for Bransford
would be under. rather than over,
10000.
The total vote cast for the mayoral-
ty candidates was 23,S7O The day was,
from the weather standpoint, all but
perfect The sun shOne brightly and
the air was ALMOST balmy. The voters
turned out early thousands OF them
going to the polls without waiting for
conveyances of any kind. Generally
speaking, the election was a quiet one,
though ii was not without interesting
incidents.
One of them was the fact that the
voting district in which President Jo-
seph f. Smith of the Mormon church
and Apostle John Henry Smith reside
was carried by the Americans" This
was the Twenty-fifth.

voter tore the handle off the machine
