material candidate, ThurSday III
creased his lead over Samuels, Pro-
gressive, his nearest opponent, to
1O.017 with complete unofficial re-
turns received from 737 of the Sl4
precincts in the state. Alexander.
Democrat, was running more than
$4,000 behind Moore and 1856 be-
hind Samuels.
The vote on governor follows:
Moore, 49,22S; Samuels, 1921;
Alexander, 1856.
The total vote on the 737 pre-
cincts reported is 124,294, much
heavier than predicted by the
dopesters before the election. The
fact that the majority of the pre-
cincts not yet heard from are small
means that the totals Of the candi-
dates will not be materially
changed. These precincts are IN
out of the way places, off the rail-
road, telegraph and telephone lines,
and it is probable that they will not
report for several days.
Addison T. Smith, Twin Falls and
Burton l.. French, Moscow, Repub-
licans, were returned to congress
from their respective districts by
large pluralities, both running far
ahead of their Democratic and Pro-
gressive opponents. Official count
will probably show that the entire
Republican state ticket received l0,-
900 plurality. Despite the fact that
Samuels finished in second place his
ticket dropped behind the Demo-
Gratis.
Both Moore and Samuels carried
their home counties with large
pluralities while Alexander lost Ada
county to Moore by 1147 and to
Samuels by fifty-four votes. Free
