SECURED FROM
THREE COUNTY CHAIRMEN

J. Z. McGinty, chairman of the Amer

publican victory in the county by a big
majority at a late hour last night. He
refused to say anything about the sitns-
tion in this city. however. stating that
he had nc. right 20 talk Of the condition
here. Asked If he would claim frauds
in the county election. Mr.. Ginty said
that he could not az this time talk of
those things, but that they would be
brought up at the proper time,
Chairman Lloyd left Democ ratio head
quarters early and could not be- seen.
Joseph Fl. Haslam, secretary Of the
county committee, said. however, that
he felt sure there would be evidences
Of great fraud shown, in the vote
throughout the city and county.
Atthe headquarters or both American
and Democratic parties. however, the re-
suit was regarded as a strictly religious
lineup, and much comment was made
on the apparent wipiug out of party
lines. ''The fight hereafter, Will be be

frmed by officials. of both American and

Combination of Republican and Demo
cratic Saints Proves Too
Much for Party of
Progress.
RETURNS FROM PRACTICALLY ALL OF
CITY DISTRICTS SHOW BIG MAJORITY
Every indication of Fraud in the Conduct of Election
by Church Republicans; Taft Sentiment
Also Contributes.

Aided by the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, aud by the violation of
the state constitution and innumerable
frauds, the Mormon church achieved a
political victory in Salt Lake county
and the state of Utah on Tuesday.
1t is idle for any political party to
claim credit for the triumph, so-cal]ed;
the whole praise belongs to the Nor
mon ecclesissts who for the past two
weeks have preached politics from the
pulpits of the meeting houses; in
structed the religious organizations in
political affiliations, which 70 them
meant the church; and taught religious
politics In the houses of the saints.
And in this the lesser ecclesiasts, who
defed the constitution but followed the
example of the hierarch who opened
the religious campaign at the close of
the semi annual conference on October
6, when he "thanked God for Smoot
and Howell'' and the balance OF the
federal bunch.
Bureau of Viliacation.
The part played by the church Re-
publican end of the combine was that
OF conducting a bureau of vilihcatiou,
abuse, falsehood and fraud. and IN this,
OF course. is included the federal gang.
In this they were conspicuously success
ful. The foul emanations from the
Smoot "Mouth,' prompted by the Re-
publican managers, need but be cited
as one instance OF the infamy of the
campaign. The vile charges Of the
selling out by the Democratic managers
of that party to the American party is
another instance of the viciousness of
the Republican propaganda No arti-
fec known to deviltry was overlooked
by them in their aid and assistance to
the church in its campaign.
And in this the church organ. backed
by the band of personifed lawlessuess,
gave ample aid. There was no Musser
letter this year, but the decrcpit Sol
Kimball was employed TO fill the va
cancy and furnish the villainy. Joseph
F. did not need TO use the Improvement
Era Morris, Taylor and dozens of
other interfering eccIesiasts carried out
their infamous mission all too well. And
in all they were aided and abetted by
the nauseous organ.
Betrayal OF Party
II was left to the Mormon Demo
Gratis to betray their entire party, and
how many of them did it the returns
furnish ample evidence. All the be-
seedlings and appeals OF their party
leaders to the rank and file of the party
in most part fell upon deaf ears;
church stood high above party and
party affiliations, and once again the

NO ARRESTS ARE MADE
BY THE SPECIAL POLICE.

Election day passed much more
quietly with the Salt Lake City police
department than was expected. With
the exception of few mischievous
bows there were no arrests made by the
police which had any direct bearing on
the election.
During Tuesday evening five boys
were brought in for raising a disturb
ance, but after being given severe
lecture were released,
The entire police force was on duty
from clock at night until midnight,
and the twenty special officers whom
Chief Pitt swore in TO stay about the
polling places did not make any ar
rests,
The police broke up numerous rows
and sent home many men under the IN
fucnce of liquor.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

1t is now several months since Wall
Street undertook to cure a case of
financial grip with remedies that all
but produced heart failure. Since
then the country has been promising
itself a speedy recovery of normal
conditions. Convalescence has in
deed begun, but it is not as rapid as
some of the optimists expected.
We can hardly expect that the
business world will return to normal
conditions until there is a readjust-
ment throughout its entire extent.
For the man who was forced to ex-
pand against his will, this period of
readjustment is not likely to bring
serious results. His very objection
to exploiting prosperity will have
proved blessing.
There will be more or less distress
on the part of those who have been
living as if the feyerish prosperity of
the last few years was excessive
health. The penalties of extravaganza
must be met by the world at large,
whether that extravaganza took the
form of rebuilding factories that did
not need rebuilding, mortgaging ones
house to buy an automobile, or buy
ing unneeded furniture on INSTALL
mentS.
Fifteen years ago situation such
as we see to-day would have given
rise to new populist movement. So
far as can he seen, there is no evil
dence of radicalism. We face Pres
idential year with no great issue be-
fore us except that of whether we
shall maintain the policy of President
Roosevelt-a policy that meets with
the approval of practically every man
in the country except those who have
oyerexploited their borrowing power.
1t is a moment of hesitation, but
not a moment of dependency. 1t is
moment that suggests reaction, but
only to those who are the manipula-
tors rather than the actual purchasers
of wealth, whether they be farmers or
manufacturers.
In a word, let us "sit tight and
