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.

Forest Report Charges Brush
Burners With. Two Fires in
Woods, hut Damage Is Small.
JSUOENE,' Or, Nov. 6. (Special.)
Last summer lightning caused 24 fires
in the Cascade national forest, ' ac
cording to the annual report on fires
just finished by N. F. Macduff, super
visor of the forest. 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. Since 1911, In
only three years have more fires been
recorded than this year, 1911, 1914 and
1919. For the period 1911 to 1919 In-
