Balance Of Power, Question Of Com
mittees Should Prove an Easy One.
The indications are that there VIII
be no wild scramble for the position
of minority leader in the coming ses-
sion Of the Idaho legislature. There
will be little for the democratic sena-
tors and representatives to do but
watch the republicans work, unless
they feel called upon to give vigorous
opposition to some of the legislation
proposed. When it comes to voting,
however, 1t won't make much differ
ence whether the democrats vote or
don't vote. The speaker Of the house
WILL of course, be republican. The
president Of the senate will be a re-
publican. The voting strength of the
