ONE AMENDMENT
HAS BEEN ADOPT TED
This Is Question Number One,
Which Provides for Taxa
tion of Mines.
BOTH THE OTHERS
HAVE BEEN DEFEATED
Total Vote o. State Is About
10000, Increase of 900
Over Four Years Ago.

The board Of canvassers, which has
been canvasslng the vote cast in the
several counties in the state at the cleo
tion held November 3, completed its
work Wednesday, with the exception of
Salt Lake county. The verifcation Of
tho figures from this county will not,
as stated in The Tribune Wednesday.
be completed until late this Thursday
evening. and 1t may be Friday morn
ing. In view of this, an adjournment
OF the board was taken until Friday at
. O clock p. m,
The canvass of the returns indicates
that the total vote cast will be nearly
10000, or almost 1000 more than
were cast in 1904, when the total vote
was 10l $40, aud 10000 moro than in
1900, when the total vote aggregated
$3.50
The plurality for Taft will be iu the
neighborhood of $4,000. -Four years
ago Roosevelt had plurality of ,29033.
This shows that while the Republican
vote increased 1000 votes over four
years ago, the majority is reduced also
11.000 votes This likewise shows that
tho Republican party is not nearly SO
strong nationally IN Utah as it was in
1905
The Democratic vote, which in 1904
was 29.033, was increased nearly $4,000
votes on the national ticket this year.
One of the proposed amendments 10
the constitution, number one, pertain
ing to the taxing of mines and mining
claims, was adopted by a majority of
3S0S. the vote being 15,SS6 for and
l2,073 against. The other two amend
ments were lost, the second by 1S7 and
the third by 746a majority.
