ARE SANGUINE

man Ben T. Lloyd of the Democrats,
/ with an optimism born of youth and in
! experience in the political game, claims
| everything in sight and promises to re-
veal a few things hitherto unseen when
| the votes are counted.
| The Republicans are ready for the battle
| Of the ballots in every one of the fifty
| four districts, with the necessary number
| Of workers for each district chairman and
| carriages provided, as we'll as checkers
/ and challengers. The Americans are also
/ well prepared, and they will make a des-
! perate effort to vote 200 to 500 vagfdnts
/ district, whom they have compelled,
/ through the aid of the police department,
/ to register Illegally. In the other pre-
cincts of the city the American party
| has cOlonized 1000 OF more additional
| floaters and only the utmost vigilance
| will prevent the winning of the election
| by fraud on the Part of the Kearns work
| ers.
| At Republican headquarters the final
details were attended to early yesterday
| afternoon and many of the workers at
| tel ded the enthusiastic rally at OdeOn
| hall. There was little activity at AmeTi-
| can headquarters, but the Democrats had
| sent out a frantic call for their work
| ers last night and a few of them gath
| cred in last futile attempt to form
some sort of an organization whereby
something Ike the normal vote of the
party might be gotten out. The Demo-
Gratis have no canvass of the city and
/ the weakness of their campaign will Dc
/ a surprise to all excepting the few who
| have been trying without means to con
duct a campaign, the only hope of which
| has been to cut down the Republican
ma ority.
The campaign has been q short and &C
/ tive one for the Republicans and in every
move it has been clean and straightfOr-
ward. AT the start there was some talk
of fusion with the Citizens and Demo
| Gratis, and the Republican city commit
| tee earnestly strived to reach a fair
/ agreement with the others on the city
ticket. A deliberate breach of faith on
| the part of the Citizens and Democrats
! however, resulted in the decision Of the
Republicans to put their ticket in the
1 field as 1t appears today, and the wis
dom of the move has been attested By
the support which the Republican city
organization has received from the indie
/ pendent voters, who realize that no bet
/ ter selections Of candidates for fusion
ticket could have been made than the
men whom the citizens Of Salt Lake vii
name today by voting the third ticket
from the top of the machine.
In the various wards fusion was ef-
feeted on the cOuncilmanic ticket gener-
ally and the prospects are that nearly
every one of the fusion candidates vii
be elected.
The campaign of the Americans has
been vigorous along certain lines, al
though the disaffection in the American
ranks has amounted almost to q rout II
some branches Of the organization. Prac
tically all Of the efforts of this party's
organization have been directed toward
corraling the Fifth precinct for Martin
Mulvey for the city council with the
hope that enough illegal votes might be
cast in the business district to carry the
city ticket through. The Americans have
| had an immense fund at their command
swelled by contributions Of $500 day
| from the gamblers and saloon men. and
| as much more collected by an organized
system Of blaekmail levied against the
women of the underworld. The managers
of the American party themselves have
no idea how great is the split IN theil
own ranks and only a careful analysis
of the vote cast today will disclose how
many citizens have decided to forsalke thu
party which has had no cause for It's
being other than to satisfy the persona.
and bigoted hatred of a few disgruntlec
| defamers of Utah.
