ceable. The defeated candidates take
it in most graceful manner and were
first to congratulate the winners ON
their success. Those who will retire
from office have offered to assist the
new comers in every way possible and
do all in their power to get things
started off right. After all these elec.
tions are not usually as serious mat
ter as one is apt to take them to be,
every man has right to his views on
particular question and choice of men
and no one should object if majority
is against him. This campaign has
been as fair one as any campaign and
while the desire to win as been as great
as usual, it has been conducted along
lines that are commendable. The prin. |
cipal issue to vast majority of the
voters was county division or no county
division and this issue in a way did a
great de-l towards destroying party
lines and resulted in many scratched
tickets.
The citizenship of Idaho county has
expressed it desires as to who shall
serve as officers, elections as made are
by large majority and the minority
yields gracefully. Good luck to the in.
coming officers and best wishes to the
outgoing. Here are tho returns to date
