in nomination by the Democrats and
Republicans of Idaho county. Since no
contests developed in the Republican
primaries, so far as the county ticket
was concerned, interest conferred on the
Democratic ticket, in which practically

County for Ailshie.
Idaho county Republicans voted al
most solidy for James F. Ailshie for
the short term U. S. senatorial nominal
ton. F. R. Gooding, opponent of Judge
Ailshie, received only few votes in
the county. Ailshie's popularity in
Idaho county is attributed to the fact
