s THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 12, 191G. " IDAHO ELECTION IS FULL OF SURPRISES Defalcations ofO.X A"en and Beating of Editor Have Effect on Result. DEMOCRATS IN CONTROL Senator Hart, Speaker Connor and Others Who Have Been Members of Legislature for Years Are Defeated This Time. ' BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 11. (Special.) There were many surprises in the elc tion in Idaho Tuesday. One of them was the fact that the Democratic can didates for other state offices ran ahead of the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, who was forced to bear the brunt of the attack. John C. Rice, a Democrat, runnlne against Robert N. Dunn, a Republican, in the non-partisan race for Justice of the Supreme Court, swept the state, with the ex ception of his opponent's district. Unquestionably the heavy Wilson vote had much to do with the defeat of so many Republicans for Btate and legislative offices, yet an analysis of the returns also shows that the vot ing' was not altogether straight. Thou sands of electors carefully scratched their ballots. Ktw Officials Are Chosen. The desire to elect a new set of state officials in the hope that the deplor able conditions that have prevailed at the State House may be remedied, is apparent from the returns. No matter what' changes may be made in the official count, the Demo crats have elected three members of state boards, who 'will control them Attorney General, Secretary of State and State Auditor. Ex-Treasurer Allen's embezzlement of $93,000, and, finally, the Huston loan episode, exposed by Captain E. CJ. Davis, a candidate on the Republican ticket for Governor at the primaries, were reflected on the results Tuesday. Other influences were the fee claim of J12.500 which arose over the state's suit to recover its losses from Allen's bondsmen, and the Snook-Broxon epi sode that took place In the State Capi tol when Warden Snook attacked C. O. Broxon, secretary to the Governor, for an editorial in a local paper Broxon is said to have written. Investigator Is Elected. It is a somewhat peculiar coincidence that Auditor-elect Van Deusen is the man who made the original exposure on the Allen dummy loan and affairs in connection with the State Treasurer's office and Broxon, led the fight four years ago In the Progressive party and is one of the three newspapermen fined and sent to Jail by the Supreme Court for criticising that tribunal for, ruling the Progressive Presidential Electors off the ticket. The personnel of the Surfreme Court has changed since then. The Tuesday election resulted in the defeat of many legislative lead ers, including Senator John Hart, A H. Conner, speaker of the House; Sena tors Ricks and Steele. The Democrats have control of the Senate, with 23 Senators, and of the House, with 36.
