Returns from the state Of Idaho indi-
cate the probable election of Addison T.
Smith, republican, representative at large.
Mr.. Smiths political success is of great
interest in Washington. as he was clerk
to the Senate committee on manufac-
lures and secretary to Senator Hepburn,
and is as well known in this city as he
is in his own state. Under the con-
gressional reapportionment, according to
the census of 191O Idaho Is entitled to
two representatives at large, instead of
one. Mr.. Smith had swift race for the
nomination, four other aspirants being
out against him.
For more than twenty years Mr.. Smith
has been in Washington during the ses-
sions of Congress. and for the greater
part of that time he has been officially
connected with the Senate. He came here
in 1891 as secretary to the late Senator
Shoup, who was elected shortly after
Idaho became q state. He held the posi-
ton with Senator Shoup until the SEN
ator's retirement in 1901.
During the two years following he re-
mained in Washington at the senator's s
request, to represent him as the republi-
can national committeeman from Idaho.
When Weldon B. Hepburn was elected
senator from Idaho in 1908 Mr.. Smith be-
came his secretary, and held that Office
except for one year, when
he was register of the United States
land office at Boise.

Manager, Defeated.

CHICAGO. Novembe. 6.-Illinois re-
manned in the progressive column on the
vote for presidential electors by barely
1900. with third of the state yet to be
heard from at noon today. Gov. Wilson
gained 10000 on last nights plurality of
26,477, which Col. Roosevelt was given
by Chicago, and the reports coming from
downstate show the president-elect slow
ly gaining.
Gov. Deneen apparently is relegated to
third place in the contest for the gov
ernorship. Edward F. Dunno, the demo-
cratic candidate, apparently has his vic
tory safe. Frank S. Funk, the progress
sive candidate, with two-thirds Of the
state yet to report, was 1900 ahead for
second place.
Congressional Situation.
Six representatives from the Chicago
districts have not been reported, but all
the local incumbents who stood for re-
election have been returned except pos
sibly Lynden Evans (dem.) Of the ninth
district.
On the face Of the first returns the pro-
gressive party managers predicted a plu-
ralty of at least 100000 votes in Illinois
for the colonel His Cook county vote
was very strong, and it was this that
kept him in the lead when Gov Wilson
began to make rapid strides in the down.
state districts.
Dunne's Plurality, 10000.
E. F. Dunno, the democratic guber-
Material candidate, is generally conceded
to have won by a plurality of at least
10000. The entire democratic state ticket
was swept into Office.
Two Of the big surprises in the result
was the race of former Speaker Joseph
G. Cannon in the eighteenth district, and
the strength of the socialist vote.
In Cook county. Guinea, socialist, ran
ahead of the republican candidate for
states attorney. Two socialists were
elected to the legislature.
1t was announced early that William

his race to succeed himself in Con-
