Frank r.. Gooding, Republican, as
United States senator, over John +.
Nugent, incumbent and Democratic

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. It was only due to the tremen-
dous majority for Harding and to the
form of ballot provided for straight
voting that Gooding defeated Nugent.
eve regret the loss of our national
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 win not end until the
United States does her part to assure
future peace In the world.
sn1vho Srrannea - &I,a TDo,...1.1R. -,
party was due, think, mainly to the
market conditions and to uniting of
dissatisfied elements In the country In
support of the Republican ticket.
II 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 a successful
administration"

ment, In which he said ''It was
splendid Republican victory, both for
the nation and the state. 1t was a
clear-cut victory for Americanism. It
was a good fight In defense of the
principle Of Americanism. Because Of
nay 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.
