On this date in 1958

I just came across this tidbit of Utah Symphony history from the The New Mexican website.
November 3, 1958: Salt Lake City — Conductor Maurice Abravanel is offering free tickets to all candidates beaten in Tuesday’s Utah elections. The tickets are to Wednesday night’s concert of the Utah Symphony Orchestra. “This is the best way, I feel, to bring solace to the losers,” says the maestro. “Music has the power to soothe even the deepest emotional wounds.”
Pretty funny stuff! My question is – who’s going to bring solace to the people who voted for the losers the day after the election?
