DAVIS ONLY CHANCE.

DAVIS ONLY CHANCE.
In only one county. Latah. does there
appear to be any chance for Davis to
increase his vote, but his chance there
Is more than offset by Alexander
claims from Fremont, Elmore, Custer
and Lemhi counties where he has a
strong lead In all precincts but where
several precincts have not yet report
ed.
The other Democratic candidates
whose plurality yesterday showed their
election are still safely in the lead with
pluralities increasing by late reports
rather than decreasing. These Demo
Gratis are undoubtedly elected:
E. L. Parker. for lieutenant governor;
T. A., Walters for attorney general; w.
T. Dougherty. for secretary OF state,
and Clarence Van Deusen, for state
auditor. John c. Rice, non partisan,
for justice Of the supreme court, is al
so elected.
The table Of pluralities which shows
each county practically complete and
as accurate as can be possible without
the official count is as follows:

BACK At
HIS DESK
First Question Was Regard
ing Political Makeup of
Next Congress
REPUBLICANS IN PLURALITY
Rumored That There Will
Be designations From
the Cabinet

Washington, Nov. 13. - President
Wilson, back at his desk in the
White House today after an absence
OF two months, prepared to take up
important foreign problems which
have been held in allegiance pending
the election, as we'll as domestic ques-
tions. These included the German
submarine situation, the Mexican
problem and a number of federal ap-
pointments.
According to administration officials
the president has not even considered
the question of a change in his
cabinet. They characterize as pre-
mature reports that he had decided on
such changes. 1t is possible, however,
that one or two cabinet officers MAJ
not remain after March 4.
The president asked first for the
latest information on the political
makeup of the house of representa-
tives of the Sixty fifth congress. He
was told indications from present re-
turns were that the Republicans would
have PIT members and the Democrats
PIP, with six members of other parties.
Wilson continued to refuse I'd make
any COHLHSnL OH LHe elSStioiA pehuih6
the receipt Of formal word from
Hughes and the Republican national
committee conceding his election.
Henry Morgenthau, chairman Of the
finance committee of the Democratic
national committee conferred with
Wilson today. After brief stay here
the president may go away for q rest
before congress convenes.
It is considered possible that one or
more members of the cabinet may re-
sign for personal reasons. Secretary
McAdoo is frequently mentioned as
one likely to resign. 1t was stated
definitely today that McAdoo can re-
main in the presidents cabinet as long
as he desires and it was denied that
he had offered his resignation.
