Report of Last Week Changed
Only in Totals-French
Leads for Congress.

The board of county commissioners
finished canvassing the Idaho county
election returns of all but two pre-
cnets, Wednesday about noon, and
4 the totaling of the vote was finished
4 that evening. The two precincts re-
4 ferred to are Big Butte and Edwards
burg, which have not yet come in, and
Il delayed much longer will be left out
entirely, the commissioners say. The
primary vote was very light, and the
returns were decidedly slow coming in.
The impression seems to prevail that
there should be a law enacted penal
zng election officers for failing to
promptly make the returns to the
county auditor. Further, that they
should be required to send in a copy
Of the election returns in a separate
envelope addressed to the county audi
tor, so that the candidates and the
public may be advised of the results of
the election without having to wait
week or ten days for the official count.
The official count did not change the
final result in any of the contests from
the report given last week, although it
did materially change the relative vote
for the candidates in a number of in
stances. The final count showed that
fourteen votes was all that stood be-
tween Frank VanDeventer and Cal
Hazelbaker for the nomination for
assessor on the Republican ticket, the
latter winning out by that small mar
gm The vote for coroner on the Dem
ocratic ticket was equally close, CIV
ing George Trenary IA votes over e.
B. Hancock, counting both first and
second choice. The vote for probate
Judge on the Democratic ticket finally
stood, Campbell $50 and Taylor 3O2, a
difference of 4S.
William Webb, candidate for sheriff
on the Republican ticket, has the dis
tnction of having received the great
est number of votes in the primary Of
any candidate of either party in the
county. His vote was 8S3, with G. r..
Spedden, q. s. Sweet and J. . Long
! al close in the race This is what
might be considered a pretty good
showing, and as a pointer is well
worth noting.
