Jas. II. HawIey Elected Governor Of Idah
COUNTY

The voting in Mountain Home
commenced early and continued
heavily all through the day. The
polls We're delayed in opening owing
to an absence of those willing to
serve as judges and clerks. AS soon
as these We're elected and the polls
opened the voting commenced.
The weather during the morning
hours was cloudy and about noon
a drizzle set in which continued az
various intervals during the after
noon. This had a tendency Of keep
ing many from the polls. Automo-
bibles and rigs were provided to
bring in the women vote and this
assisted in bringing up the gener-
al total to only about a hundred OF
the registration In the outer pre-
cincts the vote Will be light as the
rain viii prevent many from maxi
ing the long trip to the polls.
The forenoon witnessed a large
per cent Of the male vote as compar-
ed with the afternoon when the wo-
men We're out in force In all nearly
three female votes were cast in the
afternoon to one male. Despite the
unfavorable weather conditions this
was unexpected and highly gratify-
ing.
The result in the Mountain Home
precinct shows good majorities for
nearly all of the entire republican
ticket. The outside precincts cut
down these majorities and in some
instances affected reversal The
general ticket shows a preponder-
ance Of republican votes and indicates
republican ticket, inasmuch. as on
the state officers received a majority
excepting Brady
Governor Brady gained on his
vote Of two years ago by about 200
votes and had the condition been
the same as on the balance Of the
ticket, he too, would have received
majority over Hawley
The fight between McIauehlin and
Harvey has been unusually Interest,"
ing since the Pine and Featherville
precincts were received which cut
Harvey's lead down to only 10 ma-
iority. 1t is feared that he might
lose this majority in the Big Camas
precinct but Mclaughlin supporters
are not claiming this precinct so an
even break might be reasonably ex-
pected

uawlev's net plurality, 575.
Largely estimated
The Statesman has received com
n,ete returns from all but SO pre-
cincts mostly small, out of the $40
in the state. These represent 72,529
for Brady 96,Ayl, and for Hawley
votes. They show total on governr
ana. leaving Hawleys plurality IN
the Az precincts 221. NO precinct
returns have been received from Gus
Ter and Owyhee and no figures from
those counties are included in the
foregoing.
It is known that Custer has gone
for Hawley by at least 800 and Owy-
hee by at least $50.
Adding the $50 pluralities from
these two counties to the Hawley plu-
ralitv from the detailed precinct re-
turns gives Hawley total plurality
of GIL.
The 90 missing precincts are ac-
counted for as follows: Nez Perce g.
sboshone 8, Custer II, Owyhee l9,
Idaho A, Kootenai 8, Bonner 8, Ere
mont 70. Oneida 4, Bannock 1, Bins
ham 6, Boise 10, Washington a, 81
more 1.
From these 93 precincts must be
gained enough Brady votes to wipe
out the Hawley lead of 671 as shown
bv the absolute returns from Az pre-
cincts received by the Statesman by
telegraph and telephone.
The table of pluralities given above
with the counties indicated largely
estimated, shows total Hawley plural
tiles of 5135, and total Brady plurali-
ties of 1858, Hawley's net pluralitics
on this basis being SIS.
If the estimates should hold goo1
these figures indicate that Hawley's
plurality of 67l as shown by precinct
returns with Custer and Owyhee Civ
en him by 45O, will be reduced any
way by about 100.
The returns indicate anywhere
from 400 to 600 plurality for Hawley.
This is not to be understood as any
thing but a statement based on ac-
tual figures, which are given for pub
lie information.
The Statesman is making no claims
and no concessions. It is giving the
figures as they come to it in pursu-
ance of the most complete arrange
ments ever made by this paper for
the collection of election returns.

An amendment to the constitution

Seniors Hope
TOWinGane

Concerning the basketball game that
is to be played in the Whitman gymna-
SUM Saturday night between the SEN
iors and the faculty of the college,
Samuel Neterer, captain of the stu
dent team, said yesterday:
I'VE expect to come upon the floor
strong Saturday evening for we have
some fine players upon whom any
team could rely. The faculty, we
admit, have a bunch Of strong players,
much stronger indeed than we at first
thought they were able to produce,
out we are not convinced that they
can roll up the biggest score. Sew
eral of our men are strong and speedy.
Borleske, the old football star, may
play with US and if he does he will
cause a breakup in the faculty's inter-
ference. Bassett, the fat man of the
s!ty five, and the faculty will have
to watch out for him. The other
players need not be mentioned. 1 can
only say that if our opponents beat US
they will have to show some speed.
The contest will begin promptly at
: o'clock on Saturday evening. For the
seniors the most prominent men In
the tryout are Neterer. Bassett, Haw-
ley. Borleske, Fee, Mathews, Barnes,
and Shubert. The faculty team will
be selected from the following squad:
Professors Merriam, Coleman, Worth
lngton. Norris, Todd, Dunmore and
Holcombe.
In practice game played last night
between the faculty and the freshmen
team which won second place in the
,hter-class contests, the faculty were
victorious, the score being ii to 10
This fact seems to indicate that the
game Saturday night will be very
close one.

American Golfers
Invading Britain

LONDON, March 11.-With America
the possessor of the international hon.
ors in polo, yacht racing and aviation,
now comes another invasion next week,
when a team Of Yankee professional
golfers will meet a team of resident
professionals upon a course near Lon

March Is. J. H Taylor has been named
TO captain the English team and Aleck
Smith the American.
There has been some question ever
since the Americans arrived here
whether they could be called, strictly
speaking, a real representative team
of the United States. Among them are
Gil Nichols, Isaac Mackie, James Maid
en-, David Hunter, Peter Robertson, H
H. Barker and one or two others.
There is no question that Barker
and Smith are the best players in the
party, but las expert as they are, it is
hardly likely that they will rank with
Taylor and James Braid. AS an anna

When he had concluded his testi-

WASHINGTON, March 10-James
r. Garfield, former secretary Of the
interior, was finally excused from the
witness stand at the Ballinger-P Pin
chot investigation late this afternoon
His final half hour before the COM
mittee, furnished the sensation of
what had been a decidedly dull day.
Mr.. Garfield stated that Mr.. Bal
linger, after having been commission
er of the land office, submitted to
him on September II, 1908, an aff1-
davit signed by Clarence Cunning
ham and containing the statement
that the Guggenheims had no interest
whatever in the Cunningham group
of coal claims in Alaska, while as a
matter of fact, the record of a re-
cent hearing before the senate COM
mittee on territories shows that, prior
to the making of the affidavit, the
Guggenheim syndicate had beer
given an option on a half interest in
all the Cunningham claims.
Attorney Brandeis, who was ques-
tioning Mr.. Garfield, followed this
declaration by reading from Secre-
tary Ballinger's report to President
Taft on the CLAWS charges, the state
ment that Mr.. Ballinger had sug-
gested to Mr.. Cunningham an amend
ment to an affidavit made prior to the
one which he presented to Secretary
Garfield in September, 1908, and that

ment by explaining in detail what he
meant by certain terms used in his
former affidavit
Says BaIIinger Just Happened in.
Mr.. Garfield said Mr. Ballinger, in
giving him the affidavit, leaving the
impression that his action was en-
tirely casual, and that he had been
requested by friends in Seattle to
leave it on file for whatever it might
be worth. Mr.. Brandeis then called
attention to the fact that the name
Of Mr.. Ballinger's law firm was print
ed on the backing of the affidavit.
The former secretary of the interior
was examined and cross examined on
his administration of the office which
he surrendered to Mr.. Ballinger on

CY Young had
Won 500 Games

There are very few of the veteran
twirlers in the big league who can as
pire to the honors won by Cy Young in
the box. Since the advent of Denton
Tecumseh in organized baseball, he has
scored but three less than 500 victories.
and when it is remembered that Chris
ty MatheWson, his nearest rival, has
yet to win 10 games before he can lay
claim to half that number, the achiev-
ment OF the old player may we'll be
looked upon as wonderful Of the other
''vets''-take, for instance, Philippe
Powell, Lever and Chesbro-none has
approached the mark set by Mathew
son, and, in fact, most of them are just
crossing the 200 meridian.
Griffith and Nichols, although not
pitching now, were in the game recent
ly enough to recall their records with
the other old timers Nichols in 10
years won 312 games, while Griffiths
had ZIG victories to his credit in ~
seasons Powell, who is still working
broke into fast company in 1897, OPEN
ing with the Cleveland club. During his
first season he worked in 26 contests
and succeeded in pulling out Is wins.
He showed better form during the
next season and, as a result, the best
average of his career, 1903 was placed
opposite his name in the record books
Powell dropped down pretty steadily,
until 1908, when he broke through with
Is victories to 10 losses. He was in the
slump last season and the mark of
42S tells the story of his work During
the 10 years of his endeavor, Powell
won but 225 games.
Lever Has Good Record.
2 Sam Lever is one of the pitchers
who has a good, steady record for the
last II years. He began his work with
a shutout victory and finished that sea-
son with a percentage of .4SS. His
work has been consistent, and he has
always ranked near the top. 1t was IN
1905 that President Pulliam gave him
first rank over the 40 slab artists.
Lever has brought home the bacon
Just 1877 times since he began pitching
and tied many games. Chesbro and
Philippe are men who have beSn in
the game some few years. Chesbro be-
gan strong and after breaking about
even for two years, pitched to a good
mark in 1901, but after that began to
go back until in 1908 his name did not
appear among those who had oficiated

Withdrawals made by Secretary Bal
linger was that all private lands were
eliminated by him by specific descrip-
zion and by you by general excep-
ton. And didn't you say there was
no material difference between the
amount Of lands withdrawn by you
and those withdrawn by Mr.. Ballinger
after these proper deductions were
made?"
Yes"
"And does not Director Smith say,
while these private lands did enter
into the matter, the greater part of
the differences between the withdraw
ais made by you and by Mr.. Ballinger
was the elimination by Mr.. Ballinger
of lands that in no way could be con-
sidered available for power sites?"
ut was the statement which l con-
sidered unfair"
Mr.. Garfield said that at Mentor
Ohio, when Mr.. Ballinger visited him
and presented the Cunningham affi-
davit. the subject Of conversation be-
tween himself and Mr.. Ballinger was
mainly politics.
On redirect examination by Attor-
ney Brandeis, Mr.. Garfield's attention
was again called to the fact that the
Cunningham affidavits of March 6
1908, and September 4, 1908-the lat
ter having been turned over to Mr.
Garfield by Mr.. Ballinger-asserted
that the Guggenheim syndicate haG
no interest whatever in the Cunning
! ham claims, whereas the record shows
that an option to purchase a half in
terest in the claim was given the
Guggenheims December, 1907. The
witness was asked If he considered
these facts inconsistent.
Il certainly do" he replied.
