A Holly Contested Election From
Start to Finish.

Friends They Had Promised
to Support.
| he Democratic Ticket Receives
Majontes From Wilson
Down.

Down.
Tuesday marked the most eventful and
holly contested election ever held in Je-
rome and again illustrated the indepen-
dence and patriotic spirit OF the people
OF this section. While the returns show
i most phenomenal vote for the demo-
craft; ticket, it can by no means be CON
sidered strictly democratic victory
True, the head oi the ticket would indi-
cate that the precinct is democratic by Il
small majority, the large vote for the re-
manning candidates is due to the indie
pendent vote among the republicans, who
Considered their personal interests above
party and who assisted nobly in bringing
about the splendid victory in this pre-
cinct.
The whole force Of the republican ma
chine was centered OH the election OF the
legislative ticket, the question OF county
division being lost sight oil in the fear OF
the defeat Of Borah for the L. $ Senate.
Borah banners and badges were in evil
dence Oh every hand, but by reference to
the vote it will be seen that u majority
of our voters considered the question OF
county division the paramount one, and
accordingly voted for the democratic
legislative ticket.
The vote on Governor and members oi
the Land Board clearly indicates the
strength OF the independent vote among
the settlers, the pluraites for these can
didates ranging from 1874 for Governor to
273 Tor Miss Harper. And right here We
wish on behalf OF the Water Users Union
to express our appreciation Tor the sup
port received for these candidates from
republicans As well as democrats.
We give below the result OF the vote
in Jerome, and the two precincts adjoin-
ing, Grand View and Falls City:
