TO CANVASS STATE
ELECTION RETURNS
REP EPUBLICANS JUBILANT OVER
RESULT OF LATE ELECTION
PLAN FOR FUTURE

BOISE-Although the election is over
there is still good deal of interest being
manifested by the people in the results
achieved
Republicans here are generally jubi1ant
over the results secured and claim that
in 1920 the whole ticket will be elected
by very large majority.
The nonpartizan league local leaders
are now claiming the election of two
United States senator's in Borah and
Nugent, and an effort is being made to-
build UP political organization on the
two personalities. The democrats laugh
about the nonpartizan league claim to
Nugent and contend that if the matter
had been left to the nonpartizan auspices
alone Nugent would have been defeated
They point out the fact that at the de-
mand of the president as expounded and
explained by Senator Dubois and the
Idaho federal bunch administration,
democrats during the last days of the
campaign traded everything for Nugent
This is admitted by the nonpartizan
league leaders with good deal of dis
gust. 1t was pointed out by them that
wherever the league was strong Nugent
was given fun support, but where MI
gent and Dubois were strong the league
candidates on the democratic ticket were
given scanty support
The state board of election canvassers
has announced that the state vote will
be canvassed beginning November Is.
On Monday but 10 of the Al counties had
reported. The returns from the remain
ing 22 counties it is expected will all |
have been received by Secretary of State
Dougherty by Saturday night next, so
no further delay may be expctd
1t now appears likely from reports re
,eived from all counties in the state that I
Nngent's majority will be in the neigh
oOrhoOd of 1000

v. v. ORGANIZER
RELEASED TO-DAY
J. j. McMURPHY SENT UP FROM
WALLACE, WILL LEAVE THE
PENITENTIARY

Because the judgment entered by
Judge Woods in October, 1917, SEN
fencing ]. ]. McMurphy to a mini
mum of one year in the penitentiary
did not set forth the maximum of ten
years provided in the statute under
which he was convicted, McMurphy,
who was an l. w. w. organizer here,
will be released from the penitentiary
at Boise today.
McMurphy was convicted of GRIM
inal syndicalism under an information
brought by Prosecutor H. j. Hull, in
which it was alleged that on July 6,
1917, McMurphy organized a society
here for the teaching of criminal syn
dicalism.
On conviction Judge Woods pro-
nounced sentence of one year in
the penitentiary and $500 fine, but
the judgment did not set forth the
maximum sentence of ten years. Yes
terday an action was filed here by
Attorney I. N. Smith, acting for
Prosecutor Hull, asking that the
judgment be rectified so as to set
forth the maximum sentence provid-
ed in the statute and thus make Nc
Murphy amenable to the board of
parole. Attorney General Walters
and Assistant Attorney General Eus-
tace joined in the action. Attorneys
for McMurphy also filed an action
asking that the judgment be dismis-
sed and McMurphy freed on expira-
tion of sentence.
The matter was set for hearing be-
fore Judge Woods at 8 o'clock last
night, but about five o'clock mes
sage was received from the attorney
generals office advising Mr. Smith
that the attorney general had decided
not to prosecute the action and that
would be released tomor-
row upon the expiration of his mini
mum sentence.
Attorney Smiths contention is that
it was not necessary for the judge
to write anything but the minimum
into the sentence, as the law auto
provides the maximum, and
1e holds that technically McMurphy
should be under control of the parole
BOARD until the 10-year period has
expired. With the dropping of the
action by the attorney generals Of
ice, this point will remain undecided.

THE INFLUENZA
BECOMES SCATTERED
NEW CASES DEVELOPING IN
WIDELY SCATTERED SECTIONS
OF TOWN AND COUNTY

There are a number of new cases of
influenza in Moscow and surrounding
country that have developed within the
past few days. The disease seems to be
getting scattered over a wider territory
and invading the farming districts where
it had not been before DR.. Stevenson
reports three new cases today in widely
scattered sections and says he expects
many new cases to develop in rural dis
tricts and sections where it has not ap-
peared before. He cautions the people
to be very careful and to report all sus-
p1clous symptoms as soon as they appear
IN order to prevent the disease getting
established among the school children
DR.. Stevenson says one of the teachers
in the Moscow schools is quite sick with
the disease and will not be able to teach
when school opens next Monday.
That the disease is getting we'll scat
tered in the country districts is shown by
reports from various sections. 1t was
announced that schools in Latah county
would open next Monday Early this
the clerk of rural school dis
trict called Mrs. R. B. Knepper, county
school superintendent, by telephone and
asked if it is compulsory to open schools
Monday He reported number of cases
of influenza among school children of
the district. He was told that it is the
duty of the school board to keep the
schools closed as long as there is thought
to be any danger.
The general situation, however, shows
much improvement and conditions are
normal again. All new cases
reported recently are of very mild type
md every day more convalescents are
oeing released There are fewer cases in
he hospitals than at any time since the
,irst week the epidemic struck Moscow |
