HAS LEAD OF 677 VOTES OVER
COOLING, ACCORDING TO
UNOFFICIAL RETURNS
LEGISLATURE is REPUBLICAN
Non-Partisans Raise Cry of Fraud in
Canyon County Statement by
Ex-Governor Gooding.

John F. Nugent has been reelected to
the United States senate from Idaho, on
the face of virtually complete unoffi-
cial returns from the state. Nugent g
lead over Frank R. Gooding is 677.
Votes tabulated give Nugent, $4,000
and Gooding 1928. The term is for
two years.
All Republican candidates on the state
ticket maintained their leads over their
Non-partisan opponents, as reported last
week.
Republicans Control Legislature,
The Republican party will be in con
troll of the state legislature, when it
convenes, in January, according to re-
ports from Boise. Returns now in
show the relative strength of the two
houses as follows. Senate, Republicans,
20; Democrats, 4; Non-partisans, 81;
total membership Al. Necessary to con-
troll, 81. House, Republicans, 81; Demo
Gratis, 8; Non-partisans Al, total mem
bership, "a. Necessary to control, SO.
Ex-Governor Goodirg has issued a
statement in which he says he is glad
he made the fight he did, even if he has
lost the election and Senator Nugent has
won, "Some one, - he says, chad to
make the fight for Idaho, and L would
rather have made it against socialism
and I. w. W.ism and lost then not to
have made it and won, for after all a
seat in the U. S. senate is an empty
honor compared with a place in the
hearts of the good people of the state.
Non-partisans Cry Fraud
Non-partisan league leaders, it is said,
will attempt to prove that failure of
some of their legislative candidates to
win was due to Irregularities.
According to W. G. Scholtz, league
manager, an alleged fraud which will
mean 100 votes in favor Of L. j. Magee,
Nonpartisan league candidate for sena-
tor from Canyon county, was discover
ed in one precinct at Caldwell.
"It's that way all over the state, Z"
he declared. "They've tried to job us.
We re finding out about these things,
and we re going to have them investi-
gated, too"
Returns from Canyon county show
Magee to have been defeated by j. H.
