TIII3 SUNDAY OREGONTAN, PORTLAND. NOVEMBER 7, 1920 mn-pjumsjui ticket 1 TO REPUBLICANS Idaho Election no Surprise to Students of Politics. NUGENT WEAK CANDIDATE Democrats Declared to Hare Split In Contest "Which United Opposition Party. BOISE, Idaho. Nov. 6. (Special.) The result of Tuesday's election n Idaho was no surprise to those who have had an opportunity to study political atmospheres aTnd situations in this state. Nor was It difficult to forecast. Besides having- on their sie the advantages of strong sentiment evi dent everywhere in favor of a change in the national administration and a break in the tariff iseue because of the fall in price for all produce, the republicans stood united against a divided democracy partly split this year just as it did two years a.go on account of the activities of certain ambitions leaders and the non-partisan league. But probably more Important than these reasons was the nomination of a state ticket by the league. In this three - cornered contest, the repub licans were 'bound to win. Race for Senate Interesting Passing over for the moment the presidential situation, it is interesting to review the senatorshlp, for the toga was really the bone of conten tion in the November 2 contest. Th Nugent, democrat, must retire, after serving the balance of the unexpired term of the late James H. Brady, or two years, and will be succeeded on March 4 by Frank R. Gooding, former governor of this state. There were democrats In Idaho willing to wager almost anything they had that Nugent would win. In fact not a few of them did, much to their sorrow today. Democratic leaders were supremely confident that al though they might lose the state for president and the entire state ticket, Nugent would be elected by. a ma jority ranging from 5000 to 15,000. Crop Prices Factor In Defeat. Senator Nugent was in real danger from the very start. If Idaho is any thing politically. It is republican. That was the first serious handicap. The second was that the- state, like the nation, had been under democratic rule for eight years, the present in cumbent at the White House was not a candidate and a new aspirant was in the running. This was not an asset. Third, Idaho producers found the sweat of their brow wasted, for the high-priced crops they had raised were being dumped on an auction block market,, to their individual and collective loss. During the campaign, Nugent him self urged the president to place an embargo on Canadian wheat. This was taken as an admission of the re publican charges that free trade and a tarif f-for-revenue policy was bring ing ruin to the producers. it was after Senator Nugent' appeal that the real break in ' favor of Gooding was seen. Non-partisan Treaty Snspeeted. The split within the ranks of the democratic party, through which the democratic loyal legion came into ex istence, was costly to Nugent. It grew from the belief that there was a Dre-arranxed understanding that the non-partisan league would with draw H. F. Samuels, Its candidate for senator, for . and in .behalf of Nugent. ". Idaho was conceded to Harding after Cox finished his campaign in this state. Cox did not make the im pression that had been expected.. The explosion of his campaign charges proved disastrous. . Idaho, like the rest of the nation, Deiievea m. cnnnn In the management of national affairs was necessary. It was for naraing from the start. Idahoans liked Hard ing's dignified utterances and. his front-porch campaign. Three-cornered Flsrat Aid. All doubt as to the re-election of Governor Davis was removed when the fight became three-cornered. It woutd have been a closer race had the non-partisan league not kept their candidate in the running, but in face of the returns it is very doubtful if Davis could be defeated even with onlv on opponent for the governor ship. Fairchild, the league candidate, bad. no chance of election. Not only had he the united opposition of the rnnhl ion nf but the nnnosition of the deroocrats as well: Walters, the dem Vcratio candidate, faced, almost the Jaam Identical situation. court judgeships, one of which Is for the regular six-year term to be filled by Robert N. Dunn, one for the condi tional six-year, for which William A. Lee was elected, and one for the con ditional four-year for which Charles P. McCarthy was elected. The entire state ticket was carried into office and both houses of the legislature will be republican, giving the latter full control to carry out republican policies. , ROAD CONTRACTS LET ' (Continncd from Ft rat Pare.) The J. H. Tlllmfen company of As toria was more than $100,000 lower than the next lowest bidder for the Skipanon section of the Coast high way. It developed that Tillman, after working until late yesterday morn ing on his bid, neglected to Include the price of asphalt and one or two items in his bid. Contractor Faces Ttnln. Members of the commission admit that the contract will ruin the Till man company, but say the only thing the commission could do was to make the award. Tillman had a check with his bid for 12.000. but Instead of forfeiting It informed the commission that he would go through with the Job far as he can. As the fills between Mosier and Hood River will have gone through two winters by next spring, the com mission agreed that the section will be paved next year. From Mosier to The Dalles so much traffic will, de velop that the commission agreed that the cost of maintenance of ma cadam surface will be too expensive. GLOBE ao that Jink will be paved when money is available. A substantial start has been made on the Crater lake highway, for the commission awarded contracts . for 14.35 miles of grading on the Agate Trail section and awarded contract for the bridges as well. Highway Bonds Sold. Henry Teal was' the- successful bidder for 11,500,000 of 4V4 per cent state highway bonds, the first batch of the $10,004,000 authorized by the 1920 session of the legislature and ratified by the people in the epecial May election. Mr, Teal's bid was $1,418,700, or $81,300 less than the face value, The price paid by Teat was $94.58. Mr. Teal bought the large block of bonds in September, when the price was $91.1101, an improve ment of $3.74 a $100. Mr. Teal won the bonds by a narrow margin, the next highest bidder offering $1,413,900.

The commission explained that this paving cannot be contemplated by. the commission for some time to come and advised Wasco county to fix up the worst spots and gravel it. If the legislature does not put the road between Wasco and Shaniko on the map, the commission will do so. according to statements made by the highway officials. Replying to the demand of citizens of Reedsport for a road from that place to Scottsburg, a federal road official, informed the commission that there is little prospect of this road being constructed, as no funds are available, although It Is on the list of approved projects.

The report shows that careless campers left burning 14 camp fires and careless brush burners set' two fires, comprising -a total of 40. Two lightning storms, July 16 and August 8, each set about a dozen fires, says the report. Of these 18 were extinguished before they had covered more than -a quarter of an acre, five before they had reached an extent of 10 acres and but one rpread ever more than 10 acres. It covered 23 acres, having smoldered unseen by lookouts for 10 days after It started. The total area burned over by light ning fires was 32. destroying 38.000 board feet of standing timber valued at $61. To find these fires and put them out cost on an average $48 a fire, most of this expense being due of course to the dif fiiculty,of finding the one tree among so many says the report. Campers who left 14 fires burning, most of them along the McKenzle highway, were not all entirely care less for some of "their fires showed that water had been poured on them to put them out. The two fires escaping from brush burning covered an area of 26 acres. destroyed7000 board feet of stumpage and considerable second growth of a total value of $70. Although compared with the sum mer of 1919 nearly as many fires oc curred, climatic conditions during 1920 were much more favorable to the control of fires.
