VOTE GIVES
WEIGHT IN
COPS GAIN IN HOUSE

Although Republicans gained
strength in the house of repre-
~entatlveS, the vote at the gen
eral election gave the Demo
Gratis the balance of power IN
the state legislature, according
to a survey of complete, unof-
fetal returns.
The G. o. P.'s elected "A mem
bers to the house as compared
with 81 two years ago, While
the Bourbons voted 58 leaders
into the same chamber. Two
wears ago the Democrats held
81 seats in the house.
Fourteen Republicans were ei-
2cted to the senate, to leglSlate
with their II holdover COL
leagues, making a G. 0. P. total
of IS in the upper house. The
Demos apparently put in Is sem
ators to 60 with the 16 Bourbon
hold0verS, giving them 81 votes
in the upper house.
One senate seat was in doubt,
and probably will not be def
nitely decided until the official
canvass December 5. 1t is in
Sanders county. where A. A.
Alvord ID held a three-vote
lead over A. S. AinSWorth (R).
During the last legislature Re-
rublicans had 81 senators, but
the illness of one gave them
only 26 votes throughout the
session. The Democrats had 20
senator's, but a vacancy from
Sanders county cut their num-
Der to %.
