Idaho's Democratic Legisla-
ture Will Present Many
New Faces.
MOODY FOR SPEAKER
Next Session Will See Reor-
ganization Along Party
Lines.

Of both branches of the state legisla-
ture interest turns to the choosing of
men who win dominate the activities
of the party in legislative matters.
Fewer than a score of the members of
the 1915 legislature have pulled
through the election. The few who
have been returned are sure to miss
their friends of other years when they
reach Boise, and complete reorganiza-
tions along party lines viii be neces-
sary.
In the senate only four men who
helped to frame legislative matters
two years ago will return this winter.
They are l. E. Rockwell of Blaine
county, S. T. Lowe of Cassia county,
L. r. Thomas of Bingham county and
e. w. Whitcomb Of Lemni county. All
are Republicans Rockwell and
Thomas have been influential in the
legislature and both are sure to play
a prominent part in their own party
circles.

cupy seats in the senate this winter
are Robert N. Stevenson, editor of the

Of Canyon county, who represented his
county in the house at the last legisla-
ture, and John E. Pincock of Madison
county. All are new men, but they
promise to occupy important positions
with the Bourbons. Stevenson was in
large measure responsible for the
success of the anti Nugent forces at
the meeting of the state Democratic
central committee in Boise in Septem-
ber
