REPUBLICANS WIN
IN THE GEM STATE
NATIONAL AND STATE TICKET Is
APPROVED ~ MAJORITY
OF THE VOTERS.
ooodIng Runs Behind the Head Of the
Ticket, but Defeats Nugent for
Senate by Comfortable
Margin.

Boise, Idaho.-This was a Republi.
can year in Idaho. The voters have
approved the entire national and state
ticket by comfortable majority. Re
turns have been slow in coming In, but
1t is not expected that the official
count will change the result an.
nOunced.
james P. Pope, Democratic state
chairman, has conceded the election OF |
Frank Il. Gooding Republican, ash
United States senator, over John +.
Nugent, incumbent and Democratic |
candidate for reelection.
Regarding Senator Gooding's cleo
ton, Chairman Pope said:
1.-THE election of Frank Il. Gooding Is
conceded. Our reports indicate that
| Senator Nugent ran from 10000 to
| 10000 votes ahead of his ticket, and
GOoding ran that much behind Hard
ing. 1t was only due to the tremen-
dous majority for Harding and to the
form of ballot provided for straight
voting that Gooding defeated Nugent.
| 1--WE regret the loss of our national
and state tickets in Idaho, but we are
proud to have made the fight for the
great principles involved. The Demo-
cratic party in the state and nation
can accept defeat fighting for the
league of nations. And the fight has
Just begun. 1t will not end until the
United States does her part to assure
future peace in the world.
1.-THE success of the Republican
party was due, l think mainly to the
market conditions and to uniting of
dissatisfied elements in the country in
support of the Republican ticket.
Il commend the Republican state
organization for a vigorous and effec-
tive campaign, and there is no bitter
ness on my part as a result of the
contest. All the successful candidates
have my best wishes for successful
administration"
With the Republican representatives
in congress leading by 2 to 1 in re-
turns from 4S2 precincts, this appar-
emily settled all doubt that 1daho's
entire congressional delegation will be
Republican.
Frank r. Gooding issued state
ment, in which, he said: 1T was q
splendid Republican victory, both for
the nation and the state. 1t was a
clear-cut victory for Americahism. 1t
was good fight in defense of the
principle of Americanism. Because of
my fight two years ago I was made
the center of the opposition, but my
friends all over Idaho believed in me
then and believed in me Tuesday.
They have shown that by their in
dorsement. The tariff issue, the vital
necessity for protection for our own
producers, also assisted in my election
II believe have been elected United
States senator from Idaho by from
