: Idaho tried her new direct or pee
pies primary method of nominatin
candidates for office Tuesday, and /
the quiet of their booths where nc
body looked on and where no politica
boss cracked his whip they voted thei
Y own convictions and walked away Ii
full possession of their political sec
rets.
So far as known, it will be Brad,
for governor, Sweetser for Lieutenant
governor, Morrison for attorney gen
eral, Miss Shepherd or Mr.. Barton
for supt. of schools, French for con.
gress, and Alien for state treasurer
The vote between Morrison and Nc
Dougal Is close, but Morrison will
probably have 1900 majority. Brady
carried Boise city and Ada county,
and will have a majority in North
Idaho, while Clagstone leads O'Neil in
the north.
The following clipping from the
Idaho Falls Post of Thursday gives
the latest available at the time of
going to press. Many precincts are
not reported in detail yet because the
returns were esaled without having
any copy made, and will have to await
the canvass by the commissioners.
Election returns are slow in com
ing in, but enough has been learned
that 1t is safe to state that Brady
will secure denomination at the hands
of the republicans French is almost
certain of the nomination for con
gress, although Hamer will carry
Bingham and Fremont counties.
Harry Bucklin will be nominated
for sheriff. For clerk the race is
somewhat in doubt, with conditions
giving Jordan shade the best Of
1t. The present board of commits
sioners will be renominated. Ander-
son will be nominated for Probate
Judge and Joe Morley for coroner.
George Edgington, for representa-
tive, leads his ticket. p. G.. Johnston.
and c. L. Warnock will also be nom
mated. Good will probably receive
the nomination for county attorney.
st. Clair is of course nominated for
state senator, having no opposition.
Other county offices are still in doubt.
