PR0CRESS|VES
SWEEP COUNTY
WITH b|C VOTE
Every County Office
Filled by Candidate on
Third Party Ticket;
Real Landslide.

Progrcssives Tuesday piled up the
biggest vote in Canyon county that
any party has polled here Since the
organization of a third party in Idaho,
not even excepting the Republican
landslide OF two years ago. From top
to bottom, the county ticket was elect
ed by pluraiities ranging from a few
to two thousand votes, Only Miss
Margaret knowlton, Democratic can
didate to succeed herself as county
school superintendent, came anywhere
near being elected Aside from this
one instance Republican candidates
ran in second place.
Only Caldwell precincts and Parma
turned in Republican majorities. Ros-
we'll, usually Republican stronghold,
practically divided its vote. Nampa
lived up to it's reputation as the most
uncertain factor in the campaign by
polling healthy Progressive majorities
in every precinct.
In rural communities, the vote was
almost unanimous for Progressive
candidates in this county Many rural
votes were straight ballots, in many
precincts the admonition to vote her
straight and be sure" was followed to
the letter.
County returns came II early and
the general result Nwas definitely
known before midnight Tuesday Only
Young precinct of Nampa was slow
in counting and returns from that pre-
cinct we're not available until Wednes-
day morning They served only to
augment the overwhelming majorities
already rolled up by Progressives in
other precincts.
So overwhelming was the Canyon
county Progressive vote that until al
most noon Wednesday when final re-
ports came in from counties further
vest, 1T was believed that Progress
sives had SWEPT their judicial candi-
dates into office. Final returns, how
ever, show that the present incum-
bents, Ed. L. Bryan, Democrat, and
B. S. Varian, Republican, have been
reelected by narrow margins,
Unofficial returns for all of the IS
precincts in Canyon county give these
