SLIGHT REPUBLICAN
GAINS NATION OVER
House Of Representatives Will Be Republican, but Senate
Doubtful. Idaho C. o. P. Elects Davis Governor
and Borah Senator Cooling and Nugent in Doubt.
Republicans Garry Bingham Narrowly Over League.

Bingham county has elected a Re
publican administration thruout, bu
it was accomplished by borrowing Of
endorsing the Democratic treasurer
Andrew Benson and Surveyor. Jane.
Young to complete the ticket. Many
Democrats voted the Republican
ticket, and many Republicans voted
the Nonpartisan-D Democratic ticket
in the effort to establish the power
of the Nonpartisan league.
The tabulated returns on this page
show that the lowest man on the
Republican ticket had majority OF
95.
Honors are about even between
Gooding and Nugent, and D. w.
Davis leads H. r. Samuels by about
44O. The first reports indicated that
Idaho had gone solidly Republican,
but the later returns from the
country districts cut down the ma
jorities, and in the case Of Gooding,
will probably give the senatorship to
Nugent.
The following press dispatch dated
Tuesday at 8 p. m. adds something
to the national situation later than
other reports published in this issue:
There was no statement from the
white house tonight on the congress
sional elections. President Wilson
received belated returns during the
day and early evening, but later
went to theater.
Homer S. Cummings, acting chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee, in a statement tonight, said
the Democrats will "hold the senate
and organize the house." and added
that the attempt Of "the leaders of
the Republican organization to en-
gineer a rebuke to the president has
failed"

When a woman knows that she has
physical attractions she thinks it is up
to her to dress so that she will be her
own show window.
1t isn't so hard for a man to live the
Simple Life when he is broke.
After all, it is just as well that man
is born to work hard and earn his
bread by the sweat of his brow. It
keeps a whole lot of them from having
spare time in which to learn how to
play a trombone.
A woman would rather buy one big
thing she doesn't need and go without
a lot of little things she does need than
reverse the process.
Wives are like the pictures In the

they are so different before and after
