republican, 975.
The legislature stands, A republicans,
10 democrats.
Many OF the republicans are elected by
very slender majoriues. Seven OF them
received only combined majority OF liz.
Three hundred votes rightly placed
throughout the state would have given the
democrats the legislature by five major
ity, and thus two democratic United
States senators. This will probably open
the eyes OF the gen,lemen on the national
committee.
The senatorial fight is becoming quite
lively. The various republican candidates
assert openly that they expect the aid OF
democratic votes and they will evidently
need them SO bitter Is the fight. The re-
publicans are SO split up that no one OF
their candidates can secure a majority
without democrat votes.
The noble band Of 10 spartans will,
however, not mix up with the enemy but
support good sound democrats and let the
other side fight il out.
The assertion is made that eventually
the roll will be made up with Shoup and
Mcconnell combination against Dubois
and Claggett.
The chairman of the Idaho republican
state central committee has been consid-
cring the plan Of helping out the fight in
Montana and mas evidently been impor-
tuned for help. He has been rustling TO
send speakers over, but has met with poor
success. Captain Gum OF HALEY may,
however, be on the way now.
The democrats here are anxiously look
ing towards Montana, and the desire is
strong that our neighbor repudiate the
dirty work done at the tunnel precinct by
ldaho's convict, Bernard, whom our re-
publican governor pardoned at the re-
quest Of banker Hershileld Of Montana
