THEY ARE STRONG FOR DIVISION


One of the strongest arguments
advanced by those who favor the
creation of Boundary county Is
that the formation of smaller coun-
ties invariably results in cheaper
and better government. This con-
tention is strikingly emphasized in
a number of letters received from
persons living in some of Idaho S
newly formed counties. None of
them would go back to conditions
that prevailed prior to division.
We append below extracts from
three letters:
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1914-11-13

Our county was created from
parts of four counties. Taxes are
little more than for 1912 in
Oneida county and a great deal
less than in Blaine county. Our
court expenses are less on account
of the mileage for witnesses, jurors,
sheriff, ETC., and our court house
expenses have been very light as
we get along with little room and
are as economical as possible and
at the same time give the service
required. Our roads have received
more attention and money than for
any former year. We never hear
any man wish to return to the old
county organization as they all re-
ceive more personal service and
take more interest in county
affairs. -

COUNTY VOTE
CANVASSED
mcCombs Nosed Out BY IL Votes by
Hagman for Commissioner Of
the Second Distriet
NO CHANGE IN STATE LINEUP
Republicans Win by Handsome PIuraE-
ties for Most 0ffises

The county board of commission
ers began the canvass of the vote
cast i'll Bonner county at the gen
eral election on Monday and fin
ished the count Wednesday even
ing. The official count gave the
republicans all the county offices
with the exception of George Nc
Combs for commissioner of the sec
ond district, who was defeated by
the democratic nominee, Hagmau,
by the plurality of IL votes.
In the contest for U. S. senator
Brady received 1851, Hawley
l POO, Clagstone $50, Cooper ,OOl.
The complete canvass gives
Haines plurality in the county
over Alexander of 407 votes. H.
H. Taylor received a plurality of
o92 votes; Barker a plurality of
oS7 votes; Huston 44O votes; Rag
Lesson 200 votes; Peterson 400 votes;
Mccoy COS votes; Bell go votes.
From the returns received to
date on the state ticket there seems
to be no doubt but that Taylor for
lieutenant governor and Peterson
for attorney general will be elected
although certainty of election
cannot be established until the
state canvassing board makes its
returns.
- On the county ticket T.. r. 81
lott was given a plurality of 419
votes. Robert S. McCrea, for
county auditor led his ticket with
plurality of ,07e votes over the
socialist candidate, Simons. Rem
er has lead over Riser OF 791
votes; Christensen received 2o7
more votes than Bush: Wood. for
probate Judge, has plurality Of
S22 votes; Ramsey, for county
superintendent Of schools, defeated
Mrs. Iron, democrat, by 3l2 votes;
VonCanon for county assessor, de-
feated Shook, socialist, by 877
votes; Knapp, for coroner, defeat
ed Bellamy, socialist, by 6l5 votes;
Chaffins, for surveyor, defeated
Wilson, democrat, by $40 votes;
Asher, for prosecuting attorney.
defeated Coons, socialist, by 794
votes; Pritchard, for commissioner
of the first district. defeated
Campbell, democrat, by 367 votes;
McCombs, for commissioner OF the
second district, was defeated by
Hagman, democrat, by IL votes;
McColl, for commissioner of the
third district, defeated Shiyely,
democrat, by 81 votes.
As will be seen by the above fig
ures the contests were between the
republican and democratic candi-
dates for county commissioners
and between Christensen and Bush
for county treasurer and the plur-
alities in all four cases were quite
small.
The republican members of the
legislature received handsome plur
alities. The totals are as follows:
Republicans-Carratt sol, Con-
ner ,585, York LIZA. Democrats
Herr 1,035, Pearson 1.069, Reich
1928. Progressives-Gra ISL,
a Henderson 1872, Torelle 239. So
cialists- Bellamy l,087, Parsons
LOO, Statesman 1887. Reich,
e the local democratic candidate, led
o his colleagues on the ticket in the
Il race for members of the House, and
!, CARAT, republican, was second OF
his ticket.
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1914-11-13

With working majority OF three
in the senate and three in the house
the republicans will be in control
of both houses of the next Idaho
legislature. All doubt was re-
moved by late returns as to the
complexion of the lawInaking as
sembly of this state, which will
constitute the fourteenth session.
The margin of control is small but
it is sufficient on party measures.
With all counties reported the re-
publicans have 10 senators when
but II are necessary 10 control and
80 representative when but 81 are
necessary to control.
Late Returns Cut Democrats
The late returns cut down the
democratic members. Counties
figured as democratic went repub.
lican so far as the mcmbers-elect to
the legislature were concerned.
This party has IL senators and 26
representatives. The progressives
/ lave two senators and one repre-
tentative and the socialist party
one senator. The progressives lost
q representative on the late returns
from Nez Perez county, where the
delegation to the house was divid-
ed. one progressive and one repub-
lican being elected. That county
together with Ada, elected the two
progressive senators. Adams coun-
ty has the socialist senator. The
democrats lost the senator in Boise
county, where they expected to
elect. Blaine, looked upon as
democratic, went republican.
Clearwater did the same thing, to-
gether with Idaho and Lewis.
In Shoshone county there was a
democratic landslide, and Walter
Hanson, present republican sena-
tor from that county, was buried
under it together with A. H.
Featherstone, republican member
of the house. Members of the last
legislature re- elected include Rep
resentatives A. II. Conner of Bon

From Adams County

The people in this county seem
to be satisfied with county divis-
ion. OF course, there are some
who fought division in the first
place who have never become rec
onciled and never will, but the ma
jority of the people see the benefits
of centralized government.

NO TRUCKING TO BOOZE.

# WILL LIAM JENNINGS BRYAN has in his busy lifetime advocated a
good ma ~ things which a good many newspapers did not nkeremarSs
The Carson Appel. AS a natural consequence he and his ideas have been
the subject of a great deal Of criticism, much CT it harsh and malicious.
Yet Mr. Bryan has. lived to see most OF his policies become respectable,
as he has goodnaturedy put it. They have been accepted a s good by
many of those who we're loud in their condemnation a few years ago.
SOL of hem have become laws.
Now Mr. Bryan has raised another storm about his ears by taking
an advance stand on the liquor qesuon. He wants :he democratic
party to divorce itself absolutely from any connection. real or imagined.
with the booze business. He favors absolute prohibition Of the liquor
traffic and he would like to see the democratic party put isef. O n record
to that effect.
Mr.. Bryan. in this, a in many other policies he has advocated. may
be a few years ahead OF the times But it is not without the realms
OF possibility that he will live % see this reform enacted into law as he
has lived to SET ST many others that were eve more bitterly attacked
when he first espoused them.
We DO not propose in this article to so int the merits of the N,
troVersy that is bound to rage v whether prohibition is a question for
national o II state Jurisdiction. There are good arguments on both sides
OF that phase OF the question. what W e do wish to say is that Mr.
Bryan las a perfect right to advocate prohibition as n party policy and
the critics who attempt to deny him that right will have little sympathy
from the openminded public. On the other hand, a large element of
selfrespectn democrats who ire not prohibtionists in fact or theory
Will second Mr.. Bryans demand that there shall be no Difference to the
liquor in:erests-one Of the most conspicuous bene1ctaries Of special
prViege-in party pronouncements, management O organization.
That the party has suffered to some extent in the asst by such defer
ence there ts n o use denying. In this era of the new freedom" it sure
y is essential that the party which most truly represents the interests
and aspirations Of the common people should not be feuered by even a
semblance Of adherence to the interests of any form OF special privilege.
Prohibition by law may or may not be wise, but absolute freedom
Of the de mocratc party from the domination or control of liquor interests
Is not Only wise but essential If the party is to retain the public conf
dence 1t has sc well merited by its record of achievement tin the p@t w
years.
