CALIFORNIA; ELECTORAL VOTE WILL GIVE DEMOCRATS MAJORITY
OF THREE ELECTORAL V0TES-OFFICIAL COUNT MAY BE
NECESSARY REPUBLICANS STILL HAVE SOME HOPE

That Woodrow Wilson has been reelected president of
the United States generally conceded last evening
when the count in the state of California almost certainly
gave the electoral vote of that the democratic
presidential electors With Wilson carrying California
and Minnesota, North Dakota New Mexico and New
Hampshire remaining in the Hughes column President
Wilson has out with 269 electoral votes majority
of votes At midnight last night President Wilson was
in the lead in New Mexico. There be but the
slightest chance for Hughes to the election unless
something unexpected happens in California and he wins
out beyond doubt in New Mexico.
Republican leaders in California claim that there is
chance for split in the electoral of that state
Leaders of both parties keeping careful watch of
the votes and will have representatives in every county
to check the official counts The official count begins
Monday Republican State Chairman ROwell gave out
the following statement last evening:
g" estimate that there will be difference of 1000 or
5000 between the high and low the electoral tick

superintendent of public instruction,
John w. Eagleson, state treasurer
and State Mine Inspector Bell
Parker, for lieutenant governor;
Dougherty, for secretary of state,
Van Deusen, for state auditor, and
Walters for attorney general, all
democrats, are reported elected by
safe majorities. Most of the candi-
dates on the democratic state ticket
can attribute their election to the
democratic landslide in Shoshone
county.
In the contest between Judge Dunn
and j. G. Rice, on the non-partisan
ticket for the seat on the supreme
bench, Rice lead yesterday with S711.
Dunn had 1901. In this contest there
are II counties to hear from. Many
voters failed to vote the non-partisan
ticket.
The vote in Boundary county does
come as so much of a surprise when
it is known that Bonner and many
other republican counties gave dem
ocratic majorities. In Bonner coun-
ty it is claimed that H. S. Remer,
for sheriff on the republican ticket,
has been elected by only a narrow
margin; that there is a chance for
the defeat of Andrew Christensen
for county treasurer and that the re-
publican majority on the board of
county commissioners is doubtful. 1t
is reported that County Assessor
Won Canon is sure of reelection and
that election has been conceded to
County Superintendent of Schools
Ramsey and Probate Judge Woods.
Bonner county went for Wilson and
gave Alexander a slight majority.
1t is claimed that the straight dem
ocratic votes cast by the railroad
men in Bonner county put the county
in the democratic column.

Had "a Pints of Whiskey

Mike Cleman, an employee of the
Great Northern railway company,
was arrested Sunday night by City
Marshal Sawyer for violation of the
prohibition law of Idaho.
The arrest was made in the G. N.
yards. Cleman had a sack which
contained "a pints of whiskey. The
liquor was being taken to a point
down the X. V. RY., it is under
stood, where a party of men planned
to celebrate election day. Cleman
was brought before Judge O'Cal-
laghan, waived his preliminary hear
ing and entered an application to be
allowed to plead before the district
court.

IDAHO STATE
DEMOCRATIC
Governor Alexander Leads in Unofficial
Count With a Majority
of TT
WAS A DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE


Boundary county, republican
stronghold for years, wandered into
the democratic columns Tuesday
when it gave AZ majority for Presi-
dent Wilson, the democratic presi-
Dental electors receiving a total of
645 to 597 cast for the Hughes pres
idential electors.
When it came to the state Of
ficers however Boundary ran a little
truer to form and with the excep-
ton of the contest for state auditor
between Lewis, republican and Van
Deusen, democrat, gave the repub-
lican candidates majorities of $50
up to 4O3. Addison 7. Smith, re-
publican nominee for congress leads

as far as the majority column is
concerned with a total of 403 votes.
Davis, republican candidate for gov
ernor, lead the party with a total
of $50 votes which gives him a ma
jority over Alexander, the demo-
cratic candidate, of 324 votes. Van
Deusen, the candidate on the demo-
cratic ticket for state auditor came
near carrying Boundary county and
was defeated by only rs votes.
What was true of the voting in
the nation, state and other coun-
ties in regard to scratching of tickets
was true in Boundary county. Ticket
after ticket was voted giving pref
erence to Hughes and the state can
didates on the republican ticket but
when it came to the county ticket
the scratching was generous. Ever
in Boundary county the country pre-
cincts favored the democratic state
ticket and all that saved the re
publican state candidates was tn,
vote given in Boomers Ferry anC
North Bonners Ferry precinct.
According to this latest reports the
democratic party has made almos
a clean sweep in Idaho. Governor
Alexander is leading D. w. Davis
the republican candidate, by abou
400 votes and there is but LITTLE
chance of this lead being overcome

Fred Myers was elected constable

Porthill was the banner republi-
can precinct of the county. 1t gave
Hughes so votes to % for Wilson
and gave Davis SO votes to % for
Alexander. The republican candi-
date for county commissioner, w
E. Rath, one of the two candidates
from the north end of the county
on the republican ticket, was given
total of so votes out of total of
81 cast.
If Copeland precinct had been half
as loyal to the down-valley candi-
date the Copeland, Porthill and
Round Prairie districts would have
had representation in the county adj
ministration. All the republican can.
didates were given large majorities
in the Porthill precinct this being
due to the work and organization
effected by Mr.. Rath and Precinct
Committeeman Frisch and theil
friends. Another banner republican
precinct was Boulder where Pre-
cinct Committeeman Schlette worked
to pile up majorities for many re-
publican candidates.

FRoGGY SMITH has discover
ed that the Nonpartisan Lea
que is nothing but a bunch of
sour grapes anyway. Froggy
used to boot early and late for
the League, but when his
gubernatorial aspirations were
sat down upon he suddenly dis
covered that there was not
much to this organization after
all. He says there are not in
excess of 1000 members, that
these are rapidly" getting their
eyes open to the grafters' and
that most of them are socialists
and |. w. WIS, who wouldn't
have voted either of the old
party tickets anyway. 1t
seems, however, if the league
is so insignificant and unim-
portant, that Froggy is making
an unduly fuss over it,. He
can easily afford to lose these
1000 votes-without changing
the results any.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO.

If you are a voter you will
next Tuesday be privileged to
have a part in selecting your
party nominee for president of
the United States.
Referring to the Republican
primary, where there promises
to be the greatest strife, the
head of the ticket will contain
the names of Henry D. Esta-
brook and Robert NJ. LaFoll-
cite. You will have this privi-
lege of designating your choice
between these two. men and
TIL TWO ONLY for presi-
dent of the United States.
For national committeeman
the choice lies between Gunder
Olson and William Lemke, the
latter being the LaFollette
candidate and a progressive
with an unquestioned record.
For presidential electors there
are five to elect, with eight
names on the ballet, This is
not of such great Importance, as
whoever is elected will be pledp-
ed to carry out the decision of
the voters, should a republican
president be elected in Novem-
Der.

national convention the average
voter is going to be entirely at

no less than twenty-one names

elect. The names are arrang-
ed alphabetically, without re-
