i sDemocratic, ana we nave REASONS tivr
4 me statein.iit. The; results or our cali-
Ipuss have shown several things which
had not been shown before Among
I,nose Things is tho fuct that while SAT-
Lake City Is wet and will probably
remain wet the county is dry. Our
canvass has shown tthnt It will require
only 80 per cent OF the vote of the other
parties TO give the Democrats the vic
tory in the coming election. These
| votes Will come to the Democratic
| ticket by, reason OF the, stand that party
| has taken on prohibition. There are
$500 votes In Salt Lake county which
| stand by the Democratic party through
! thick and thin To this can easily be
| added sufficient voters OF the other
| parties who honestly believe In prohibits
| ton and want to see 1t enforced 10
carry the, election. 4 1t Will require about
| 900 votes to win In my estimation,
and we will have between 1850 and a.
/ 900, according to the present outlook.
/ There are enough people opposed to the
| open saloon totdefeat both the other
parties, II they will only come out. Tho
prospects look good to me for Demo-
cratic victory"
CLAIM EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.
Frank Christensen. secretary at
"American" headquarters, said: We
EXPECT to carry everything in sight. We
will surely carry the county. Our cam
vnss In the city shows that our vote
in the city will exceed that of one year
ago. and in the county our vote Will be
nearly double that OF last year.
In view of It nil, 1t Is really aston
ishing what canvass will show
before the election.
