DEPEND upon
PLEDGE MADE.
BY MEMBERS
Democrats and Progressives.
AS Well as Many Republi-
cans Oppose Convention
Three Women Are Elected
to Membership in Idaho's
Next State Legislature

Advocates of tht statewide primary
islature, if the pledges of the mem
bers-elect to the house and senate are
kept and the Republicans dominate
that body, a majority of the G.. 0. P.
having been elected to each house.
The greatest gain in members over the
records Of previous years was made
by the Pogressives, who elected FIVE
members to the senate and seven to
the house. Progressives and Demo
Gratis, of whom there are seventeen in
the senate, are all pledged to the en-
actment of primary law and there
is sufficient number of Republicans
pledged to the enactment Of such a
law to give the primary advocates
clear majority in both houses. The
Idaho State Republican Primary league
advocates control both the house and
the senate.
ON PRIMARY ISSUE
"There are seventeen Democrats and
Progressives in the senate and Of the
Republicans elected, twelve are
pledged to the enactment Of a pri-
mary law" said d. l.. Young, Secre-
tary Of the league, at Boise. "There
are twenty-seven Democrats and
Progressives in the house, all Of whom
are pledged to the enactment Of a
primary law. OF the thirty-two Re-
publicans known TO be elected to the
house, twenty eight are pledged to the
enactment of primary law
IF the claims of the league are cor
rect, twenty-nine members of the
senate are in favor of the enactment
of statewide primary law, where but
| twenty-three are necessary to control,
while there are forty-seven members
of the next house Of representatives in
favor of the enactment of such a law,
while but thirty-three are necessary to
control.
There will be two more women in
the legislature when it convenes next
January than there were in 1921. Mrs.
Beardmore has been elected from
Bonner county to the lower house,
Mrs. Mary George will represent
Blaine county in the house Of repre-
sentatives and Catherine L. Aber-
crombie from Nez Perez county will
have seat in the lower house.
