Owing to certain depredations and

themselves the costs of prosecution.

IHE republicans of Idaho can thank
heaven that the democratic Spokes-
man has little influence in that state.
That paper has been doing the straw
ballot fake act, in advance of the Idaho
primaries, and the vote, relocated TO
accord with the Spokesman's bias, put
oiagstone in the lead for governor
SO far as heard from the primaries
show the Spokesman to be a poor
prophet, as GLADSTONE is poor third.
Ihls shows how little reliance can be
placed in any political statements that
