Vermont and Oregon, where mgr
sional elections have already been held,
a view Of the political situation. with
special reference to the complexion OF

summarizing its dispatches, the Post
says:
"while democratic gains are outlined

the correspondents OF the Post do not

iicans will lose control of the house.
There is at present in the house Of

this majority will be difficult tn COM

that IL will be reduced to a very small
number. but the present indications do
not point to it's entire disappearance.

respondents show that le6 districts In
the United States will certainly be re-
publican in the approaching election

Troops Mustered In.

The two battalions OF Idaho troops
have been mustered in, and they con-
stitute fine force. When they shall
have been equipped and drilled they
will compare favorably with any other
troops in the volunteer army.
Those who have been charged with
the duty of collecting and mastering
those troops cannot be accorded too
much praise. This applies TO the gov
ernor. the adiutant general, the medi-
cal examiner, the mastering officer and
all others who have been engaged in
the work, all having been diligent and
persevering.

but the quota has been filled with a
measure OF promptness that could
scarcely have been expected. The war;
ious localities responded to the COVER
noris call promptly and the result is the
mastering Of body OF men who viii
reflect credit upon the state wherever
they shall be called upon to serve their
country.
In connection with this subject the
state is under particular obligations to
two men. One Of these is Senator
Shoup. But for his effective activity,
the state would have been cut OF with
a much smaller number OF men and the
Idaho troops would have been absorbed
into some other organization. He has
promptly seconded the efforts of the
governor to have the state well repre-
sented and in q great many matters he
has foreseen what would be desired and
taken steps to secure it. As result Of
his work it may be stated that Idaho
has more than three times as many
troops as at first contemplated, and
they are to be kept together instead OF
being divided between the two sides OF
the world. The Senator has been dill
gent at all times, and his efforts have
been most effective.
None can appreciate the achieve
ments of the governor and his staff but
