UTAH REPUBLICAN
BY Bic MAJORITY
The Entire State Ticket is Elected
and Taft and Sherman Electors
Chosen by the Opponents
of Democracy.

Salt Lake City-The state of Utah
lined up in the Republican column on
Tuesday, the Taft electors having a
plurality of 10000 to $4,000, estimated,
while William Spry was elected gov
ernor, having received $4,000 more
votes than Knight, according to latest
figures. The legislature will be al
most soIidly Republican, insuring the
return of Reed Smoot to the senate.
Joseph Howell was returned to con-
gress by a handsome majority, while
the entire state ticket has been
elected.
A statement issued by William
Spry, governorelect, is as follows:
Il am very well satisfied with the
result. 1t is an evidence that the
people are satisfied TO continue the
era of prosperity which they have en-
ioyed under Republican administra-
lions.
1T is also gratifying that so many
Republican members of the American
party have returned to their former
Affiliations This is an evidence of
the beginning of the end for that
party.
