BRADY AND AAINES
INCREASE LEAD BY
LATER RETURNS
r. o. Jones Now Has Slight
Lead Over r. M. Nc
Cracker for the Congress
sional Nomination.

No material changes have been made
in the election results from those an
nounced yesterday. except that r. o.
Jones for congress is slightly In the
lead over r. NJ. McCracken, but full
returns have not been received from
certain counties where the McCracken
vote is known to have been heavy so
that there is still reason to believe
that McCracken may still have de-
feated Jones. Senator Brady, Governor
Haines and other leading Republican
candidates have increased their lead
by later returns.
The Progressive vote over the state,
as was expected by the leadership of
that organization, was very low, there
being no contests on for state candi-
dates and but very few contests in any
of the counties. In those counties,
however, where there were contests the
Progressive vote was much heavier
than in counties where there were no
contests. In Canyon county, for ex-
ample, there We're probably 600 Pro-
gressive votes. while in Ada county,
where there was no contest at ALL there
were not more than 200 votes.
In Ada county, with all but four
small precincts unofficially reported
and counting all second choice votes
available Cartee Wood leads Willard
White for probate judge by six votes,
and the results of the contest will not
be known until the official count is
had.
None of the state candidates will be
affected by the second choice votes, If
is believed. unless it should be con-
gresham, as between McCracken and
Jones' and there the second choice
votes may be valuable to the one or
the other. Not enough returns have
been received on second choice to in
dictate which will be the greater bene-
ficiary. There is a slight possibility
that the second choice votes may eff
feet the nomination for lieutenant
governor upon the Republican ticket
because of an effort that was made TO
get voters for Edgington or Sweeley for
second choice. Should the second
choice votes run at all high, there
might be a chance for Edgington to
win the nomination, lie having run
close to Taylor. who appears to be the
successful candidate.

Terrible havoc had been caused In

II German guns posted in a forest near

lit seemed impossible to silence their
fire until the Ninth Lancers made
their attempt. riding straight at the
guns after debouching into the open and
charging under hail of melinite and
lyddlte
'They reached their goal, killed the
gunners and put the guns out of action.
Then, like their prototypes of Balal :
lava, they rode back.
"On the return they fell in greater
numbers from the attack of the other
German batteries, posted at vantage
points around the valley.
Notable bayonet charges were made
at (name deleted) Wednesday last.
Several infantry regiments occupied
an exposed position around which the
Germans gradually circled. drawing the
moose closer and closer
THE British decided to cut their way
through the Gordon. So the men went
at 1t, yelling and shouting and got
through, although the German artillery
moved them down frightfully.
The German machine guns have
been tremendously effective In all en-
gagements. Men who saw the South
African war say the hottest firing
there was childish compared with what
the British troops have undergone
