elected Harry S. Harper, justice oil

stable.
The state senate Is likely to be all
Republican. although when the final
returns are received it is possible that
j.. Il. Tolton will have defeated II. w
L.unt In the eleventh district, and from
incomplete returns from Sanpete
county, l.. M. Olsen, Democrat, may

The main fight in Idaho has been
for the goyernorship. the contest be-
ing between Governor James II.

the present incumbent, and James II.
Hawley, the Democratic nominee.
There has also been unusual interest
In the selection of a congressman, the
race being between Burton l.. French,
Republican, and Arthur M. Bowen,
Democrat.
The latest estimates from over the
state indicate a Republican victory,
but by a reduced majority.
Hawley appears to nave carried
Fremont. Bannock. Cassia. Twin Falls,
Elmore. Owyhee. Boise, Custer. Lem
hi, Blaine. Nez Perez. Idaho. Kootenai
and Shoshone counties.
French has doubtless defeated Bo-
wen for congressman. and the remain
der OF the Republican ticket, except
McDougall. Is probably safe, although
by reduced majority over the vote OF
two a ago. McDougall may go to
defeat by Moore of Latah county.
1t Is quite probable that the state
senate will be Democratic and the
house Republican. each by a slight ma
jority. The greatest surprises have
colne from Ada and kootenai counties
The former was conceded to Hawley
by 500 and has gone for Brady by
about 200. The latter was conceded to
Brady by 400 and has gone to Hawley
by about 600.
