SEVEN DEMOCRATS N
STATE LEGISLATURE
Lewis County Sends One
Democratic Representa-
tive-The Heavy Vote Of
Southeast Pulls Haines
Safely Into the Cover
nor's Office.

The increased vote for Haines shown
in late returns over the earlier returns
from the same counties, has increased
the lead Of Haines beyond any reason
able possibility that Hawley can over
take him, even though the later re-
turns increase Hawley's lead over
Haines in the northern counties beyond
the earlier reports For instance Haw-
ley has made considerable increase in
Nez Perce. Lewis. Clearwater and Ida
no counties, but Haines has made an
increase from 200 given in Cassia coun-
ty to 900 shown in the late reports;
from 1000 estimated in Bannock county
to 100 upon practically complete re-
turns. Haines holds up practically to
the 500 given him in Bonneville and the
800 given in Bingham and increases
greatly in Fremont over the earlier re-
ports, so that 1t appears likely that
Haines is elected by from 1000 to 1900
in the state over Hawley with Martin
third. Martin failed to receive any
where near the vote claimed for him
In north Idaho although in most Of the
counties he put Haines third in the
race just the same as he Is In me
southeast.
Haines still goes to the southeast
ern counties without having carried Il
single county in the state outside OF
the Mormon belt and as poor third
in nearly all of them outside that belt.
In the state at large, outside the Nor
mon counties he ran more than 5000
votes to the bad, but tile Mormon
counties gave him over 1000 to the
good-a vote practically equal to that
given Gooding six years ago when Du-
bois was deliberately driving the Nor
mon vote to the Republican ticket.

counties Of the state.
Democrats Get q Legislator.
The only other new development to-
day is the fact that the Democrats get
representative from Lewis county.
This gives them seven votes on Joint
ballot in the legislature. provided the
| two Owyhee members are Democratic
which is generally believed, although
| the vote is very close on both Of them.
The Democratic legislators include the

representative from Lewis county.
