BULLETIN SERVICE.
A unique feature OF the day vas
bulletin service which County Chair
man j. T. Eldredge furnished his dis
stiict chairmen. It was sent out in
automobiles hourly to every chairman.
and embodied the results of informa-
ton sent IN during the hour before it
was written. AT | p. IN. the bulletin
sent out was as follows:
Republican Bulletin 2
lo'clocit. Nov 5. 1908.
To District ChairmeG
After morning of splendid work.
County Chairman Eldredge is assured
that the Republican party las been VIC
torious i'll the county, and will elect the
entire county ticket.
Chairman EldredEe is now busy d.
recting a campaign which Will result in
the Republican ticket sweeping the
city, and electing all city and precinct
officers as Well.
Reports from the city districts up 10
J. O'clock show that the Republican,
ticket has polled nearly - per cent or
the vote except in the few districts
that have long been regarded as Ameri-
can strongholds, and in these the Re-
pnblicans have polled fully one-half
the vote.
The vote in the county shows that
the county ticket will receive an UNI
precedented majority over both the
opposing tickets. The Democrats have
no organization either in the city or
the county. And the American organi-
cation is going to pieces
with an afternoon of good work the
majority for the Republican ticket in
this county will put the American
party permanently out of business.

Transportation on election day is az
ways an important feature. Today II
was completely organized, the auto
4riages, and many country carriages
from Davis county points, being all
drafted into the service. Vote fo;'
the American party" was the slogan
pinned on those that reported TO
Chairman McGinty. "Republican'' was
that given out by Chairman Eldredge
and Democratic was what Chairman
Lloyd had had painted on the banners
he had ready to distribute.
County Chairman Eldrcdge stated
that there We're $50 Republican car
riages at work in the city and county.
All We're assigned to district chairmcn
who We're keeping them at work to the
best possible advantage
No claim as to Democratic carriages
could be secured although the rArr-
orleans claimed 300 vehicles of all
sorts including automobiles. They
were we'll distributed in each instance,
and workers were in charge, each with
list OF voters for whom they were
responsible. Privately owned automo-
.biles We're prominent at the voting dis.
tricts where their owners reside.
Very few Democratic scarria ges were
81, Il tSfr iffs
morning. Out of 20 districts Is an
.wered that no, Democratic workers
had been in evidence during tho
morning in their district. Democratic
checkers, however, were present In
every district.
IN AMERICAN STRONGHOLDS.
At noon, 34S out of the $40 registered
votes in the Fortysixth district had
been cast. No challenges had been
made up to the hour stated, but Matil-
da Oman. who resides at 927 East South
Temple street, was obliged to swear IN
her vote. 1t appears that in copying
the registration list, the registration
officer made Il mistake, giving her
place of residence 927 Second avenue.
A great deal of scratching is being
done and many Americans" are show
ing thell. preference for knight over
Street for governor This district Will
probably be carried by the "Aneri-
cans" but the Republicans are work
ing hard to get out their voters. SO
far the voting has progressed quietly,
with no disturbance Of any kind Near
the voting place the American work
=ers have established headquarters in
a tent and using every effort to keep
their following in line. Mrs. Margaret
zane Witcher and Frank Hegin-
botham, candidates on the Republican
county ticket, visited the polling place
during. the forenoon.
In the Forty-seventh district, con-
siderable challenging was done in the
early part Of the day, but all were
allowed to go into the booth to cast
their ballot without swearing it in. At
noon, 29l out of the 100 registration.
had voted. 1t is expected that, about
600 votes will be cast in this district,
as many on the registration list have
moved away. At one time during the
day voters in this district had to stand
in line for an hour in awaiting their
turn to exercise their right OF fran
chise.
