Knight Leads His Ticket and Burbidge Makes Good Rum

The Republicans swept the county by
an unexpected landslide. electing every
county candidate on the ticket by from
500 TO 5000, and electing the candidates
for city judges. justice of the peace and
constable by from 1000 to 100 major
ity.
The American" vote in the city was
about 400 less than year ago and the
Republican vote in the city was nearly
500 more than year ago.
Even the most sanguine of the Repub-
lican leaders never anticipated such a
sweeping victory, their highest claims
having been 2Ooe plurality in the county.
The Democratic vote in the county was
larger than anticipated. the Democrats
getting 7.42i for knight. and 1895 for
Burbidge in the city, and polling over
1.oo0 votes in the county districts outside
the city.
In Salt Lake City total of over a.
900 votes We're cast, and in the county
outside of the city nearly 1e.ooo We're
polled. Taft carried the city by 4,S00;
Spry by $500 over knight and 300 over
street. knight leads the Democratic

In spite of the most desperate efforts

Loco votes in the county more than Powers

thousand who left the Democratic party
this year probably We're Gentle Demo-
Gratis who voted the American" ticket as
protest against the attempt of the
church leaders to interfere in the politics
of the state.
In view of the assertions made by the
party leaders of the Americans and
the Republicans. warning the voters TO
beware of intimidation at the voting
places, the election was remarka bly, quiet,
and there was nothing to indicate that
there was any necessity for the appoint
ment of the 80 special deputy sheriffs and
the 20 special policemen to guard the poll
ing places.
Neither was there anything in the re-
turns TO Justify the charges OF coiluzion
between the Americans and the Demo-
Gratis. The result in Salt Lake county
shows that 1905 Republicans and 1900
Americans voted for knight, but the
fact that Street ran 1000 ahead of knight
in Salt Lake City shows conciusively that
there was deal of any Kind whereby
the Americans were TO Withdraw their
vote for Street and give 1t to knight In
return for Democratic votes for the

deal were attempted. It is evident from
the reforms that neither party carried out
its part of the bargain.
