GROWTH INDICATED
lWendell IrrigaLionist y

The primary election, as com
pared with that of two years ago,
shows that there has been a
steady growth in most of the pre-
cincts. Two years ago Wendell
cast 33i votes and 355was the fig
ure this year. Jerome increased
from 900 to 6SS. Gooding, $40 to
$50. Jerome and Wendell each had
precinct cut off which would
have materially increased the gain.
Two years ago the anti-divisiou-
lists polled % against POS in
Wendell.
The remarkable feature of the
campaign is reported from Good
ing. In that precinct, it is alleged
that 935 votes were cast and out Of
the entire batch, there was not one
spoiled ballot. This is the record
for Idaho.
