ELECTION RESULTS
Continued from Page ~

NNoheAiuVu v age -
naming precincts. Official figures
will be published text week after the
returns have been canvassed.
There are of course the regular
surprises which every election
brings forth and IN equal number of
"1-to!d-you-so's." notwithstanding
the heavy Democratic vote in other
counties of the state and in the
country generally. which occurs from
time to time and of which much is
made, this county made an excellent
showing in the Republican column,
due to the efficient county organiza-
ton maintained by the Republican
party. 1t is a noteworthy fact that
whenever the political pendulum
swings in the direction of the Dem
ocrats, the phenomenon is received
with shouts of acclaim as a "land-
slide,' whereas when the shoe is on
the other foot and the Republicans
sweep everything it is accepted as a
matter of course.
OF course great interest conferred in
the contest for the senatorship be-
tween Mondell and Kendrick and in
this connection Mr.. Mondell should
be flattered by the support given him
by the loyal Republicans OF Carbon.
He received 1864 votes in the county
as against 1921 for Mr.. Kendrick, a
far smaller proportionate majority
than appears in the vote of the
state.
John w. Hays vote showed how he
stands in this county where he has
lived and is well known, and where
the false cry of Union Pacific dom
nation is taken for Its full value.
Mr.. Hay received 1894 against 1885
for Mr.. Ross. a comfortable major
ity Of 4OS.
All of the other state candidates
were well treated in Carbon and each
of them received a majority over his
Democratic opponent, so hat on
state issues as well as national, this
county must be classed as Repub-
lican.
On county offices the ticket is split
MS usual. The most regretable de-
feat and one most disastrous to the
best interests of the entire county is
that of "Scotty'' Mckay for County
commissioner. Mr.. Mckay was very
loath to run in the first place and had
to be forced by insistent friends to
make the race as he wished to retire
after ~ years of faithful work for
the county's best interest. Andy Mel
o was safely reelected, so that the
Board OF Commissioners will remain
Republican. Some of the devious and
u~nderhanded methods and the inter-
ests which made use of them to ac-
complish the defeat of "Scotty', will
be the subject of future considera-
ton in the columns of The Republic
an.
Among the five candidates for the
state legislature there is the greatest
doubt as to which three will repre-
sent the county at Cheyenne. There
an ticket and but two on the Demo-
cratic. But n OF this writing. Fred
II. Healey. Republican. of Saratoga
and E~ncampment, is assured Of cleo
ton. The other two places are SO
close as to preclude the possibility OF
a safe guess. There are as stated, |
five precincts to be heard from, with
between 50 and 100 votes, which may
change the result, which is indicate
ed by incomplete returns. Al i'll
now the other two representa-
tives will be chosen from a class Of !
three, consisting of T. H. Butler, Of
Hanna. and r. H. Alcorn. OF Rawlins,
and DR.. T. J. Swisher. OF Rawlins, as
1t 10 very probable that J. j. Mitchell.
on the Democratic ticket is too far
behind to make the grade.
The unofficial vote In Carbon
County, less the five missing pre-
cincts. above noted. was as follows:
For United States Senator
