The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1918-09-05

Results of the primary election IN
Idaho on Tuesday are practically un-
changed from those announced in
The Star Mirror of Wednesday
evening, although returns are still
incomplete. Two small counties in
southern Idaho have failed to report,
but the Idaho panhandle has been
polled, so far as election officials
have made reports by The Star-Mir-
ror.
Frank Gooding has 1O,991 votes for
the republican nomination for United
States senator, short term, against
1912 for Judge James Ailshie, and the
official count seemingly can not upset
this lead. Senator John F.. Nugent
has 11,798 against 1858 for James H.
Hawley for the democratic nomina-
ton for short-term senator.
For the nomination on the demo-
cratic ticket for congressman, First
district, which includes all of North
Idaho and Washington county IN the
south, the figures are: Purcell, 2959;
Mitchell, 3O38. 1t will require the Of
ficial count to decide the race. Wash
ington county returns of Wednesday
morning were garbled somewhat in
transmission.
Figures from the south are lack
ing on c. C. Moore and Bartlett Sin
clair, running for the republican
nomination for lieutenant governor,
but Sinclair has the narrowest of
margins in the northern counties,
2458 to 1898, and it makes another
race which only the official canvass
ers will settle definitely.
D. w. Davis is so far in the lead
for the republican nomination for
governor that it is a question only
of how much larger his majority will
be. He now has 1852 votes, his
nearest competitor, McCracken, re-
ceiving 1850. H. F. Samuels, the
nonpartizan candidate, who is also
democratic, has big lead over Frank
Martin, called the regular democratic
candidate, and Van Sicklin, also,
regular, Samuels' vote being 10,389,
Martins 6O43 and Van Sicklin's 1888.
For secretary of state, democratic,
w. A. Fife has 1865, W. T. Dougherty
9O7O.
For state auditor, democratic, W.
P. Rice has 8549, Clarence Vandeusen
1926.
Oscar G. Zuck polled $500 votes for
the democratic nomination for lieu
tfenant governor, against 52O2 for
John M. Clark and 4052 for T. G.
Wilson.
William J. J. Smith made a run
away race for it for the democratic
for inspector of mines,
having more than II 900 votes, against
3481 for Edward Schwerd.
Judge Alfred Bulge can sit tight
for the supreme court billet. He had
no opposition on either ticket
In Latah County.
There seems to be no doubt that Miss
Adair is nominated for treasurer. With
returns from 10 precincts and
the vote on treasurer and commissioner
for this district from three others, giving
the vote on these offices for p out OF
the 81 precincts in the county, Miss
Adair is leading Mrs. Torsen by more
than so votes and Elmer Paulson, for
commissioner, leads A. B. Nc |
Intire by 81 votes. The following tickets
appear to be nominated in Latah county
