OF THE
GOVERNOR SEFNO
CAUSE FOR ALARM
An Effort Is Being Made to
Mislead the Public in
Matter Declares Secretary
Broxon.

c. o. Broxon, secretary to Governor
Alexander. issued the following state
ment today:
The friends of Governor Alexander
are not In the least alarmed at the
unwillingness of the Republicans to
accept the verdict of tho people ex-
pressed at the polls on last Tuesday.
Governor Alexander was elected and
he will serve during the next two years.
1t is true that his plurality was not
large, but a large plurality is unneces-
about 700 and no efforts on the part
of the disappointed Republicans can
deprive him of his victory.
ut is true that some changes have
taken place. but this Is usual at all
elections and such changes accrue to
the benefit Of one candidate as often as
to the other.
For instance, an error was found in
the unofficial returns compiled by the
Capital News, whereby Governor Alex
ander makes a clear gain of 206 votes in
Ada county. This will more than off,
set any possible loss in Bonneville
county by reason of a recount should
one be made.
In fact, It nowhere appears
that Governor Alexander will be
loser by such recount. On the
contrary, It Is anticipated that he
will be gamer thereby.
"As usual in such matters an effort
is being made to mislead the public.
There is no charge OF fraud
in Bonneville county. There IL
merely a difference of opinion as
to which side will gain by reason
of a recount of scratched ballots,
the Republicans being under the
belief that a recount will show
that a few voters who sought to
vote straight Republican ticket
and to vote for Governor Alex
ander at TIE same time, made q
technical mistake. We believe
that the opposite result will be
shown. At any rate there can
not possibly be sufficient change
to alter the result
"As matter OF fact, however, we deny
that boards of county commissioners
have the authority to order a recount
of any votes, but that all they can do
is to order any corrections in returns
that may show error upon the face of
the returns. The matter of q recount
of votes Is a question that must be left
to the courts for county and legisla-
tive candidates and to the legislature
upon state offices. To permit partisan
and prejudiced county commissioners
to delve into ballot boxes would be
productive of vastly more fraud than
could possibly be corrected by any such
procedure"

PASSENGERS IN PRISON

London, Nov. 14.-An Amsterdam
dispatch 20 the Times says that the
Belgian and British passengers on the
Dutch mail steamer Koningin Regentes,
recently seized by a German subma-
rine have been sent to prison in
Bruges. The Belgian women and
children were released and allowed to

ORDER TO JUDGES.

ORDER TO JUDGES.
The board of county commissioners of
Bonneville county, acting as the county
board of canvassers, issued an order
last night to the election judges of pre-
cincts Nos. and 2. Idaho Falls. to re-
count the vote cast therein on the
grounds that the ballots were not prop
erly counted. 1t was held by the county
board that where voters marked cross
in the circle at the top of the party
column the candidates on that ballot
were each entitled to a vote, and the
judges should have SO directed; that
where a cross was made in the circle
at the head Of the party column and
the elector thereafter jumped over into
the Democratic column and put cross
after the name of Governor Alexander
or any other candidates such crosses
should not constitute or be credited as
vote for the candidate or candidates.
The judges in the precincts involved as
we'll as the counters held that as the
marking of a cross opposite the name
of the candidates clearly showed the
intent of the voter, 1t was their duty TO
count such crosses as vote for the
candidate so designated. About 100
votes, 1t is claimed. will be changed on
recount in No. ! precinct. The re-
turns In No. 2 precinct were sent back
to the judges by the canvassing board
on the grounds there were two more
ballots than there are names of voters
recorded as voting.
STATEWIDE INTEREST.
The action of the county board pre-
cipitated controversy which has at
tracted statewide interest because of
the claims of various parties Interested.
No controversy exists in Bonneville
county over the large number of votes
cast, or the number of voters sworn in.
A heavier vote was expected In that and
other southeastern counties at the re-
cent general election because of the
rapid settlement Of dry farm and other
lands there during the past two and
four years, and the further fact that
many more women voted at the election
this year than ever before in the his
tory of the state because of their deter
mination to cast their ballots for Pres
ident Wilson on the slogan. He Kept
Us Out of War" Leaders of political
faiths admitted that today.
JUDGES REFUSE TO COUNT.
Advices from Idaho Falls are to the
effect that three of the election judges
in precinct No. 1 refused to assume the
of opening the ballot
boxes for a recount and that none has
so far taken place. The commissioners
left It optional with the judges to re-
count and they declined. In precinct
No. 2 a recount is taking place to tally

, back the number Of votes and account
appear TO be jockeying to determine
which shall go into court to force the
issue of recount In precinct No. /.
Republicans and Democrats are de-
termined to follow up the reports COM
ing from the several counties, 1t was
learned upon interviewing party lead
ers. The Democratic leaders and friends
of Governor Alexander assert that the
attempts to bring about recounts is
fathered by disappointed Republicans
who will not concede the reelection of
the chief executive of the state, which,
1t is claimed, has been established be-
yond any question of doubt by a plu-
rality of about 700. Republican lead
ers assert they are in possession Of
enough reports from men whose word
cannot be questioned, there have been
many votes thrown out that should
have gone to d. w. Davis, the Republi-
can gubernatorial candidate. and that
with the situation developing in Bonne-
Vile county they propose to follow the
reports with an investigation and carry
the controversy to the highest courts Of
ehc idius IL hcCtSSdry. ASiue ITOIl
Bonneville the reports they have re-
ceived are from Twin Falls, Adams,
Gooding. Bannock and in fact practi-
cally all southern Idaho counties. In
Bannock county, 1t is claimed, that
where crosses were marked In the
Democratic party circle and the voters
later jumped over into the Republican
party column and voted for Davis. the
election judges refused to count the
votes given him. The Democrats
claim that insofar as this kind of
scratching is concerned they are will
ing to take their chances of maintain
Ing the plurality of the governor for
they figure that where his vote will be
cut down in some counties 1t will be,
more than made up in others.
There is q wide difference of opin-
ion as to how the Judges in the various
precincts should count the scratched
ballots.
In Bonneville county those opposed
to the opening of the ballot boxes in
the two precincts involved are pre-
pared to apply for restraining orders in
the district court and II the ballot boxes
are opened to swear to criminal COM
plants and have those responsible ar
rested.

ENTRIES MUST Be
IN By AUGUST IS
LISTS WILL CLOSE EARLIER THIS
YEAR THAN HAS BEEN
THE CUSTOM.

Entries of candidates in the races
to be voted on in the state primary
will be closed this year on August
18th. three days less than one month
before the date of the primary.
Secretary Massengale and Judge E.
]. Regan have engaged in going over
the entire situation, arranging the
assessments, preparing the rules and
the state ticket.
Mr.. Massengale has prepared the
credentials of members of the Geor-
gia delegation to the national conven-
r. Gray, who is slated to be chair
man, copies of the credentials being
sent to the national secretary in
Washington A number of requests
have been received by Mr.. Massengale
for credentials to be forwarded to in
dividual members who are going
ahead of the delegation as a whole,
and to these the reply has been made
that the entire batch of credentials
is being delivered to Mr.. Gray as the
prospective chairman.
In the matter of the date for clos
ing entries in the state races it is point
ed out that for the last primary they
were closed nineteen days before the
election, while this year will be twen-
ty-eight days. The vote is to be con-
solidated SeIkember 18th, the day
following the election. Judge Regain
expressed the belief that some law
should be framed and passed whereby
the cost of holding the state primary
would be borne by the state and the
several counties, and that all pri-
mares within the same party be held
on the same date instead OF dividing
county and state primaries as is now
the case. So strongly is he of that
opinion that he has requested mem
bers of the legislature to take the mat
ter up and see if it can be done.
