Am Rnorlnons Vote Polled

For the first time In the history
Of Idaho 1t is apparent that practic-
ally everyone registered his or her
choice for the various positions to
be filled.
The greatest previous vote ever
cast In the state was slightly over
10000. This year from present in
dications the total polled vote will
exceed 10000. This is at least 25,-
900 more than was estimated by any
one. One of the peculiarities connect
ed with the big vote is that some OF
the counties known to be in the most
prosperous condition, and where the
percentage of population advance has
been most evident, showed the slight
est ratio of decrease, while other
counties, in some instances where II
was believed the population had de
creased, gave the largest increased
proportionate vote.
This has led to the feeling in
many quarters that of necessity many
illegal votes had been cast. Il Is
probable that some Illegal votes had
been cast, notably In such counties
as Washington, Owyhee. Canyon, Ne7
Perce and Kootenai.
But to some extent at least this
has been going on for a number oil
years, and no one has thought much
about II.

DEMOCRATS"
ARE AFTER THE PIiUMH

With the Bourbons exercising al
most complete control over state poll
tics, the plum tree at the statehouse
10 expected TO give up Its fruit TO the
tireless workers who have laboTed
long months for the success of the
democratic party, says the States
man. Republicans about the capitol
have not asked and are not expecting
any quarter. II Ia the first time since
the statehood OF Idaho began that
the democrats have had such full
sway, and the followers Of the grand
old party who have held down placea
at the pie counter do not attempt to
fool themselves into believing that
the governor could hold back the
hungry horde of democrats, who are
already reaching for plum pie.
And knowing that the democrats
Will clean house, as, indeed. the gov
ernor promised In his address follow
ing the victory parade, the republi-
cans at the capitol are engaged these
days In guessing who their success
sors will be.
There will be more than 100 Jobs
to give out II the plum tree Ia robbed
OF all Its fruit. There can be changes
in the land department. the state
auditors offlce, the secretary of
states office. the attorney generals
ONCE. the board of health and the
public utilities commission.
The game warden. the director OF
he state farm markets bureau. the
bank commissioner. the state veter-
marian, the adjutRnt general. the
state engineer. the highway engIn-
1eT and the horticultural inspector
are all appointives of the governor,
and but few IL any changes are ex
pected In those departments. The
mine inspector, the state treasurer
and the superintendent OF public In
gtruction are republicans. and Jobs
now held In those departments are
considered reasonably safe.
The state board OF education. in
Guiding the agricultural extension de-
partment. are out of politics. and no
changes can be made there as n re
suit OF the recent election. Neither
can heads OF state educational inBti-
tutions be changed by the demo.
Gratis. as all are appointed by the
state board OF education, and II was
taken out OF politics four years ago
The democrats Will name the next
warden at the state penitentiary, the
secretary of the state board Of health
the register OF the land department
the land commissioner. n member Of
the public utilities commission. the
eommandant At the Idaho Soldiers
home and the state sanitary inspec-
tor. All of those positions pay good
salaries and will be much sought
by the Bourbons.
The governor has announced no
appointments. but II IL known that
he is being beseiged with appiica.
tions for places from his party fol.
