Reasons why the products OF Utah

For an accurate forecast of the re.
suits in 1916 it will be necessary for
a moment to revert to the conditions
in 1912 which resulted in the cleo
ton Of Woodrow Wilson.
In the first place, it will be recall
ed that in the November election of
that year President Wilson received
6.293O19 votes. Theodore Roosevelt
received 4,119,507 votes and William
II. Taft received 3,4S4,956 votes. The
combined vote Of Taft and Roose.
welt was 1,311,444 greater than that
of Wilson. In short, Wilson re-
ceived some one and quarter mil.
ions less than majority Of the pop.
ular vote cast in 1912.
The vote received by President VIII
son in 1912 was. moreover, not an ac-
curate barometer Of his strength.
His vote was increased by the sup.
port Of very considerable number
OF Progressives who were determin.
ed that a Republican should not be
elected and by the also considerable
number of Republicans who prefer.
red that a Democrat should be elect
ed rather than Progressive.

This wound has today been practi-
cally healed. The causes which &C.
casioned this division of the party in
1912 have now disappeared.

example in 1914 ceased to exist. cast

the law it is not entitled to partici.
pate in the primaries, in the state in
1916. This same situation has result
ed in Massachusetts, as another illus
tration, through the state election
there last fall
This result has been due to the
feeling of the gent majority of those
who voted the Progressive ticket in
1912 that the ideals for which they
stand can best be accomplished thru
Republican success.
As the Democrats were successful
through disunion in the Republican
party in 1912, so must the Democrats
fail in 1916 through the reunion OF
the Republican party.
There are many other causes which
will contribute to the certainty OF
Republican victory next year. One
is the inevitable reaction which al.
ways exists against the party in pow.

Disposal Of
r. Dead Animals
eurying or Burning All Carcasses
Will Reduce the Spread Of
Infectious Diseases

Often when animals die on the
farm no disposal is made of their
carcasses other than to drag them
into field or q nearby woods, where
they are left on the surface of the
ground to decompose or to be eaten
by buzzards, crows, dogs and other
scavengers, Or animals which feed
on carrion.
This practice can not be too Sc
verely condemned, because 1t con-
tributes seriously to the dissemina-
ton Of disease germs and the perpet-
uation OF infectious diseases.
The carcasses OF animals which
have succumbed to infectious diseas'
es like anthrax, hog cholera, black
leg, tuberculosis, etc., are charged
with myriads of virulent disease
germs and just as long as they re-
main where scavengers can reach
them and portions Of them can be
carried away promiscuously, they
are dangerous menace over a large
territory to all animals which are IL
able to be attacked by disease germs.
Even carcasses of animals which
have died from other causes than in
fectious diseases, unless they are dis
posed Of in proper way are source
Of danger. Left on the surface OF
the ground their odor soon invites
scavengers to congregate and bring
with them the infectious material
with which they may have become
contaminated by eating carrion else
where.

across the line. He barely had time
to flag the train on which were some

The wire to the north went down,
a pail of smoke fell over them, and
the glare of the burning forests grew
bright. The officials decided to make
headquarters at the little pine sta

Dead animals on the farm should
be buried deep enough to prevent
them from being dug up again, or
they should be burned. To burn
large carcasses like those of dead
horses and cattle is difficult and la.
borious and requires large amount
OF fuel. In most instances 1t is
more economical to bury them. All
animals which have died of infec
tious diseases and are buried should
be covered with a heavy layer Of
lime before the graves are closed.
In the winter, when the ground Is
frozen, 1t is more difficult to dig
graves than at other seasons of the
year, but 1t is just in cold weather
that disease germs remain alive and
virulent longest in dead organic mat
ter and that scavengers travel the
longest distances, have the best APP
petites, and are most likely to car
ry disease germs on and in their
bodies. The extra trouble of digging
graves in the winter is very easily
Offset by the greater danger it coun'
teracts. Low temperature prevents
the multiplication of disease germs,
but many kinds Of disease germs are
not killed Or deprived Of their PERM
cious possibilities by exposure TO a
lower temperature than the lowest
reached during an icy, arctic winter
Everywhere farmers not only
should attend to the proper and safe
disposal of the bodies of their own
animals which unfortunately die, but
they should insist on the proper dis
posal of the bodies OF all animals
which die anywhere in the regions in
which their farms are located.

Neither the election nor the inaug.

cost quite as much today as they did
four years ago in spite OF the roseate
pledges and promises OF Democratic
leaders and soothsayers.
The tariff legislation enacted by
the Democratic congress failed Of its
purpose of reducing the cost Of liv.

a serious diminution of the revenues
necessary for the conduct OF our gov.

was In itself most unscientiilcally

viewpoint OF a free trader or pro-

bonds to meet the ordinary expenses
of government or resort to hitherto
UNEMPLOYED fields of taxation. The
solution finally offered was the so

which the outbreak Of the war offer

STATE LACKS AUTO PLATES
Contractor Delivers Number Tags Too
Slowly to Keep Up With the
Demand.

Madison.-Owing to the failure Of
the contractor to deliver fast enough,
the state lacks thousands of automo-
bile license plates for 1916 licenses.
The law provides that where applica-
ton has been made for license, the
absence of the new plate will not sub
ject the owner to a fine. At the office
of the auto license clerk, secretary of
states office, it was said that $4,000
or 10000 applications have been made.
The plates are now promised at 1000
day, but this is too slow delivery, the
office reports. The constructor had
agreed to have 10000 on hand Dec. Is.
There are about 100000 autos in the
state Many owners do not apply for
licenses until spring, leaving their
cars indoors for the winter.

Peninsula Completely Evacuated,
Says Gen. Monro.
TURKS CLAIM BIG VICTORY
6emiofficial Reports Say British Were

They were blown up.
The casualties were one wounded.
There were no casualties among the

The British as a result of violent
battle have completely evacuated Sedd-

dispatch from Constantinople. Not
a single man remained behind.
The dispatch adds that newspaper
reports from the Dardanelles say the
Turkish troops have completely
driven the French and British from
Sedd-ul-Bahr, and that Gallipoli PENN

A semiofficial report from Constan-
tinople, according to an Amsterdam
dispatch to Reuters Telegram COM
pany, claims "the capture by the Turks
of great enemy camp and nine guns,
and the sinking of an enemy vessel,
with troops near Sedd-ul-Bahr."
While this move had been expected
in some quarters, in others it had
been believed that the AnglO-British
force was to be left at the southern
extremity of the Turkish peninsula

When the retirement of December

be understood that enough troops
were left on the peninsula to carry

nouncement it was understood that
the troops we're not to be withdrawn.

greatest defeat of the war-a defeat
that has cost Great Britain alone more

The French also have lost heavily in
men and sacrificed battleship in the
