1t is generally believed that TINS
election spells the death Of the NON
partisan league in Idaho. Six years
of effort by Nonpartisan leaders ta''-
ed to register a vote to even threaten
any one of the winning candidates
This is the first time that Nonparu-
sans had an opportunity to test the''
strength. In the open the organ'.a-
ton has few aspects of formidao'e
political machine. Canyon county re-
turns from rural districts. on the pass

show that the league strength Is wan
ing. Continued operation by inc
league in Idaho means, it is believeo'
that Idaho will continue indefinitely

Sidelights on
the Election

Voters began piling into the polls
early Tuesday morning. many evil
denfiy having the idea that they would
be the first to vote in their precinct
Beautiful weather aided in getting
out good vote and the election Of
fieiaIs 1t every Caldwell polling place
were kept busy throughout the day.
One of the features of the election
vss the popularity Of Perry N. Hard
ING. Republican elector- He led his
tlaree colleagues by more than 100
votes in Canyon county. many per-
sons evidently harboring the idea that
. vote for this man was q vote for
the Ohio senator and . straight Re-
publican ticket. Many ballots were
found in this county that had only one
marx upon IT, big. bold X after
Perry Harding's name. The fac, that
he was presidential elector probably
cost other Republicans candidates in
this county 100 votes.
T. A. Walters, Democratic candi-
date for the sovernorship, carried
Caldwell by six votes. He led in his
own precinct by IS votes and carried
al three precincts south of the rail-
road North Caldwell. however, gave
Davis majority over Walters of 81
votes and this materially cut down
Walters majority. Local Republican
leaders expressed surprise that Wal
tiers should have carried Caldwell by
such . narrow majority, the loyal
welcome given him Monday night |

would roll up big vote in his home |

Probably the greatest surprise of
the election in Canyon county was
the overwhelming victory registered
By every Republican county eandi-
date. 1t was freely predicted before
the election that close, three-corner-
ed race would occur but the result
proved eonclusively that the dopsters
had gone astray on the strength of
the Nonpartisan league candidates.

General apathy was evidenced to-
ward the proposed constitutional
amendments. Many voters failed to
express an opinion on the issues and
many others voted against them all,
Indicating that they chose rather to
be safe than sorry. Since the cleo
tioa. many persons have openly as
serted that they felt they were not
qualified to vote intelligently on the
proposed amendments and simply
voted against them all Not until the
vote has been officially canvassed
BY the board of county commission
ers viii the Canyon county results
be known on the amendments. 1t
is expected. however. that the pro-
posal to bond the state for S2,000.OOO
for roads and highway construction
will prove the most popular Of the
five propositions submitted. 1t is also
asserted that none Of the four amend
meats is likely to receive the required
two-thirds majority in this county.
The bond issue requires only a ma
josity and may pass.
