CONTRASTS SHOWN
ARE INTERESTING
System Demonstrated at the
Republican Headquarters;
Nothing Doing at Others.

Striking contrasts were afforded yes
terday on visit to the various head
quarters in the city. At Republican
county headquarters there was the
usual hustle, while a force OF clerks at
telephones were answering calls and
informing voters OF the location OF their
respective polling places. j. u. Ed
redge, jr, Republican county chairman,
was directing the redistribution or car
riages and automobiles and receiving
the reports from district chairmen.
All OF the vehicles previously en-
gagged by the Republican organization
reported at county headquarters early
yesterday morning, and were assigned
10 the various city districts, while in
the county the district chairmen looked
after their own transportation
During the early hours Of the day,
there were urgent calls for more sur
reys and automobiles, and these We're
provided Immediately
Little Doing.
At Democratic headquarters there
was little doing. The telephones were
manned. and whenever a request for
transportation to the polls was re-
ceiVed, ii was telephOned from Demo-
cratic headquarters 10 American head
quarters. and an American party auto
mobile was sent out TO carry the Demo-
cratic voters. In order to make this
Democratic American combination ef-
fective. the Americans discarded their
| banners, which were on the vehicles
for the last days of registration, and a
/ few OF the rigs used TO carry Demo
Gratis and Americans bore flags, while
many bore no decorations or signs.
| American headquarters were in the
/ dark all day as TO the progress OF the
fight outside the city, and the Demo-
/ Gratis knew even less.
Carrying out the perfect organization
/ OF the Republican party In salt Lake
/ county, the district chairmen reported
/ to county headquarters al intervals OF
I during
| o'clock these reports. received from 20
| out of 100 districts, indicated that the
/ total vote for the county would be
| close TO $1,000. and that Of these the
| Republicans would cast Il. 600 TO $4,000
In many of the city districts where

! ers, and the American workers at the
I polls did everything in their power &c
! induce the American voters to support
II the Democratic state ticket. In re,
i turn for this. so far as the voters could
be influenced, the Democrats were vot'
ing for the American county ticket.
Returns received from the county dis
! tricts outside the city began coming L
county Republican headquarters short
~ after noon, and these reports indi
CO ted a heavy forenoon vote, with a.
least IS per cent of the early vote Re
publican.
Confident AT Bingham.
there was a heavy vote. Atha vii
liams, Republican chairman for Bing
ham, said at o'clock that there wa
every indication that the Republican
ticket would receive a majority OF thu
votes in the six districts in his organ
ization. Some scratching was being
done, he said, but there was no chanc'
for a change in general results, and tn
Republican ticket would win in its en-
tirety
Murray also reported a heavy vot
early in the afternoon, with Indication
that the Republican vote would b.
larger than the combined vote of tn
Americans and Democrats So far a
could be learned, the Democrats ha'
not the slightest semblance Of an or
| ganizatiOn, either in city or county
. The American organization, which wa
placed at the disposal Of the Demo
Gratis. was fairly good in the city, blu
outside Salt Lake there was no at
tempt on the part of the Americans 4
get out their vote or to check ii.
