compressed bodies OF African white ants.
According to What 10 Eat the dealer

BADLY MIXED IN IDAHO.
Democratic Candidate for Governor
Likely to Be Elected

Boise. Ida Nov. 5-The campaign
closes in this state tonight with the stu
alton badly mixed. Both parties are
claiming the state both on the state and
the legislative tickets. Chairman Brady
of the Republican state committee, in the
usual Saturday night statement. claimed
1900 majority. Chairman Lockhart of
the Democratic committee declined to
make statement then, but said he was
confident Judge Stockslager would be
elected governor over Governor Gooding
The situation in nearly all counties IS
complicated with independent tickets and
"a compleXity Of local issues. The great
est interest now attaches to the plan
launched by Senator Dubois of challeng-
ing all the Mormon voters. 1t is said at
Democratic headquarters that this has
kept a great many Mormons from regis
tering but the Republicans insist those
people have registered and will vote. The
challenge is to proceed on the ground
that the church teaches polygamy. as
shown by the testimony and acts of it's
heads, and that members of the church
are therefore disqualified from voting I'M
der the provisions Of the state constitu-
ton. This challenging is avowedly for
the purpose of laying the foundation for
a contest in congress If Mr.. Borah be
elected senator. There seems no doubt
Mr.. Borah will carry the legislature by
a considerable majority.

BOTH CLAIM OHIO.
Great Fight Has Been Waged in the
Congressional Districts.

Columbus o., Nov Interest in To-
cal fights and in the contest over the
congressional delegation have combined
to- take attention away from the state
tickets, minor offices only being voted
Tor tomorrow. Democratic Chairman
CARRIER claims plurality of $4,000 for
his ticket, with gains i'm the congress-
men. while Senator Dick, chairman Of
the Republican committee. maintains
that his party viii not only retain all
of its own congressman, but will also
keep the Democratic districts won two
years ago. The interest in the Re-
publican demand that President Roose-
welt be given a Republican congress
was intensified today when a telegram
was given out at Cincinnati in which
the president advised his sOn-in-law,
Congressman LOngwOrth. to have
printed what Secretary Root had said
of him, and what he had written to
Congressman Watson. as means of
showing the presidents desire for a
Republican house. The bitterest fight
I'm the state is probable i'm Hamilton

pleas judges. The Democrats were
aided by the Citizens Municipal party

cial ticket, and having united in attack

This attack was aimed at George b

ton.

Topeka, Kas., Nov 5-On the eve OF

1t is reasonably certain that Kansas will

Gratis have for years been admirers of
Cummins anti-corporation attitude and

elements will cOunterbalance each 9TH
