Democrats Win in Idaho.

Boise, Idaho-President Wilson was
the choice of the majority of voters
of Idaho, the president having lead
of 1900 votes out of 10000 votes cast.
A close, hard fight has been waged
over the state, but surprising Demo-
cratic majorities were returned, es-
pecially in the rural precincts.
In Ada county well-estabIished Re-
publican majorities were swept aside
and from the rural precincts came
Democratic totals that staggered the
Oldest party leaders here. Several of
the Republican candidates for the leg
islature were displaced by Democrats
and Democratic county officials were
elected.
The prohibition constitutional
amendment has carried by substan-
tial majority.

be appreciated when It is seen that
the states involved have ninety cleo
toral votes, a little more than one
sixth Of the electoral colleges total
vote.
Miss Jeanette Rankin of Montana
was running for congress on the Re-
publican ticket, and in California Mrs.
Josephine Fersald of San Francisco
was aspirant for seat in congress
as a Democrat.
Prediction betting was heavy, es-
pecially in New York and Chicago.
The day before election, in New York
City, over 100000 was wagered on
the outcome of the national election,
while it is claimed at least million
was wagered in Chicago, the odds be-
ing 10 to 9 on he victory of Charles
Evans Hughes.
President Wilson was at shadow
Lawn all night, election night. He
was surrounded by the members of
his family. Early returns gave him
comfort At o'clock in the face Of
all the returns at that time, his sec
rotary, James P. Tumulty announced
that victory would perch upon the
presidents banner
Charles E. Hughes received the re-
turns in his private apartments, at
the Hotel Astor, New York City, sur
rounded by his family. Only his two
infant grandchildren were absent from
the group.
Mr.. Hughes was calm, quiet and
serene. A cheerful smile played over
his face, and from time to time he ex-
changed bantering remarks with those
about him. The candidate spent the
day in similar quiet. Rising about
$50 o'clock Tuesday morning he
walked around to the polling place, and
cast his ballot before he had breakfast
1T has been my custom ever since
I became a voter to cast my ballot
early" he explained, "and it was the
custom of my father before me-"
1t took him a minute to mark his
ballot. He tarried outside the polling
place long enough to pose for the
photographers and movie men.
After breakfast he saw few callers
in his apartment and disposed Of some
accumulated mail In the afternoon Mr.
and Mrs. Hughes had long motor
ride, during which they were almost
constantly recognized and saluted by
the growing election crowds on the
streets. At o'clock he retired to his
apartments, from which he did not
emerge again until the result was an
nounced.

WILSON PROBABLE
CHOICE OF VOTERS
One Of Closest Races for Presidency in the
History Of the Nation Apparently in Favor
Of the Democratic Candidate
Loss of New York and New Jersey by Democrats Offset
by Western States Lining up for the President Utah.
Idaho Colorado, California, Nevada and Montana
Being Considered in the Democratic Column.

New York.-President Woodrow Will
son has been reelected by the voters
of the United States.
The race was one of the closest in
the history of the nation. The cleo
-toral vote is estimated as: Wilson,
2S4; Hughes, 247.
The vote was the heaviest in the
history of the nation, which is respon-
sible for the lateness of the decision.
First reports from over the country
indicated that Charles Evans Hughes
had been chosen as our next presi-
dent, but with the returns from Cali
fornia and Minnesota, which had been
claimed by the Republicans, it was
learned that the president had again
been the choice of the voters as their
chief executive.
A number of western states which
had been confidently counted on by
the Republicans to return substantial
majorities for Hughes and Fairbanks,
will cast their electoral votes for Will
son and Marshall.
The next house of representatives
will be Republican by at least ma
iority of ten. The senate will be
Democratic.
The election was filled with sur
prises, some of them most startling in
character. One of the surprises was
the close race in Kansas, a hitherto
Republican stronghold.
Interest was focused on Illinois.
That was officially set down as the
state upon which the national contest
would swing. Illinois went for Hughes.
The women furnished the surprises
in this state. There were 100000 of
them at the polling places during the
day.
The labor vote in some of the rail
way centers of Illinois caused a de-
lection and the state retained its place
but the swing of business men to the
Republican ticket made up for this de-
lection ind the state retained its place
in the column where it always stood
till four years ago, when 1t went away
in the three cornered fight for the pres
idency.
New York state swung into the Re
publican column and her forty-five cleo
toral votes will be cast for Hughes
and Fairbanks.

lican presidential column, while Sam
uel w. Mccall, Republican, won the
gubernatorial race Henry C.bot Lodge

Nebraska gave Wilson a substantial
majority, elected Democratic senator

ed it's representatives in congress

ties. The state went dry.

is slow, owing to the referendum cleo
ton on the game law, which has been
defeated. There were no state con-
tests, all members of the present dele
cation in congress being reelected
without opposition.
President Wilson carried Tennessee
by large vote and the Democratic
state ticket also was elected. Thorn

governor and K. D. McKellor of Mem

WOODROW WILSON.

No serious attempt was made to break
the solidity of the congressional dele
cation of ten.
Arkansas voters retained prohibi-
ton in this state by a vote Of to l

statewide prohibition law. In nation
al and state contestes the Democrats
returned their usual majorities.

an issue that has doomed large on the
political horizon for some years past.
The territory of Alaska also voted on
this question. In Arizona an amend
ment for the abolition of capital pun
ishment was up for popular decision.
Woman's part in the presidential
election was one of the outstanding
features. In one-quarter of the forty
eight states women had the vote this
