GOVERNOR IS DOUBTFUL
Late Republican Report Says
Brady Ahead 800.
DUNN REELECTED JUDGE
Kootenai County Offices Won by
the Democrats.

A telegram received from Boise
yesterday at noon by Charles l.
fieitman, republican state chair
man, who is at his home here,
stated that late estimates placed
Brady 800 ahead of Hawley foi
governor.
The latest available reports yes
terday morning indicated that
Hawley's majority over Brady
would be about 500, although the
managers agreed that it was not
impossible that Brady would be
counted in when all the returns are
at hand.
All of the rest of the republican
state ticket is elected by MAORI.
ties ranging from 5000 to 10, 900.
Burton L. French's majority over
Arthur Bowen for congressman, is
estimated at from 2, 900 to IS, 900.
The unofficial returns also indi-
cate that the legislature will
remain republican in both houses,
but it is claimed there are enough
democratic and republican "wets"
in the senate to prevent adoption
OF resolution submitting a state
wide prohibition amendment.
Returns from 81 out Of 40 pre-
cincts of Kootenai county, report
ed from Ceur d'Alene, show that
the county was carried by Hawley
for governor. r. N. Dunn, re-
publican, has been reelected
district judge, and the republican
legislative ticket seems to be
elected. All the other offices in
the county have apparently gone
to the democrats.
The figures from 80 out of the
40 precincts give totals on various
Offices as follows:

The VOTE OF RATHDRUM
Precinct is Still Chiefly Reps hlican
But Vote Was Light.

The vote Of Rathdrum precinc
was much smaller at Tuesday.
election than at any general elec
kon held here the last few years
The registration was 657. and 48;
votes were polled. While the pre-.
cinct gave majorities to most o.
the candidates on the republican
ticket, the smajorities are greatly
reduced, the democratic landslide
being manifest here as elsewhere,
French, republican, carried the
/ precinct for congress by 66 votes,
and D. r. Adams, republican
nominee for sheriff, received a
majority of II over Mcfarland,
the democratic candidate, yet the
county republican ticket was so
badly scratched that two demo.
Gratis were the high men, George
w. Flemming for commissioner,
receiving 3o4 votes, and d. E.
Dandy for auditor ago. There
was also much scratching in favor
Of James H. Hawley, the demo-
cratic nominee for governor, Brady
carrying the precinct by only FIVE
votes. The socialists polled an
average of about IS votes for their
ticket.
The voting proceeded quietly all
day at the hall with no exciting
incidents. Fair weather was prom
ised in the morning, although the
roads were very wet from the
heavy rains, and bad weather,
with snow low down on the noun
tain, prevailed late in the afternoon
and evening. The counting OF the
votes was completed about 4
O'Clock Wednesday morning.
Headquarters were maintained
on First street until late into the
night to receive the election re-
turns, many people remaining up
until they had heard sufficient to
indicate the trend of the election
throughout the country.
Republicans and democrats both
had automobiles and teams EN-.
ployed all day hauling voters to
and from the polls from the coun.
try.

republican and democratic tickets,

state issues were discussed, and he
did not mention county option.

RECORDS


Binghamton, N. Y, Oct. PA
study of scientific farming at close
range kept Roosevelt busy most Of
the time today. He rode seventy-three
miles in an automobile to inspect
abandoned farms # this section of
the state.
He decided that farmer who goes
about it in the right way can make
good living from land which is now
going to waste. Colonel Roosevelt
aIos found time to keep things stir
ring politically, making three speech
es for the republican state ticket.
A new point which he emphasized
in these speeches was in his declara-
ton that John A. Dix, democratic can
uidate for governor, had been a d.
rector of the so called wall paper
trust for eighteen months in spite
Of Mr.. DiX's statement of last Satur-
day to the contrary.
Roosevelt referred to court records
to show that while Mr.. Dix became
director of the Standtrd Wall Pa
per company in June, the final decis-
ion declaring the wall paper combine
illegal was not rendered by the su-
preme court until February 1909. Dix,
he said, either did not know what his
company was doing, or else he was
not frank in his statements about the
matter.

Japanese sconces shed a light on

Impoverished altar stood a hideous

The setting for the wedding was
quite appropriate, foor the couple first
