Division of ths Spoils. London, Nov. 8.—The last 24 hours have brought little news of Importance from the seat of war. The report that Saloniki has been evacuated Is pre mature and a similar report concern ing Monastlr Is unconfirmed. There Is no authentic news of the alleged defeat of the Turks before Tchatalja. A Constantinopla dispatch sets forth the Turkish claim that there are no Bulgarians before Tchatalja and that both armies are resting. The Turkish reports regarding the progress of the war have been so con sistently misleading as to have little value. The present lull In news may meanthat some Important adtlon Is proceeding. In the meantime diplo matic efforts to end the war are mak ing no progress, and the European press Is busy discussing all the aspects of the settlement of difficult questions. Everything tends to show that al most Irreconcilable antagonism will arise over the alteration of Turkish territory .

On presidential electors Idaho stands a good chance to divide Its vote be tween Taft and Wilson, according to latest returns obtainable, hut with chances favorable to Wilson by about 500 plurality. With Custer, Adams and Oneida county not reported upon presi dential electors Wilson stands 1108 In the lead. Custer county will certainly return a plurality for Wilson and Adams county Is expected to do so, while Oneida county will give a strong plurality for Taft, but not nearly so plurality for Taft, but not nearly so Btrong as It gave Haines. Leaving Adams county a tie and allowing a lead of 200 for Wilson In Custer county and estimating that Oneida county went to Taft by 800. this leaves Wilson a lead In the state by 503 votes. . Oneida county's plurality could run aa high as 1200 for Taft and still the Wilson elec tors would be slightly In the lead, but In either event It will take the offi cial count to determine whether Taft or Wilson shall get the electoral vote of Idaho or whether It will be divided between them aa now aeema quite like ly, Inasmuch as It la well known that many voters fall to vote for the entire four electors upon their tickets. The first name upon the ballot always gets more votes than other candidates, so that Clark, who leads the Wilson col umn, may get In ahead of Worthman, whose name appears at the foot of the Taft column, or Ricks, whose name ap pears at the head of the Republican column may get In ahead of Moore, whose name is last on the Wilson ticket. The vote on Taft and Wilson, accord ing to the latest returns available, Is as follows: Taft.

In a majority of the states a pop ular vote has only been roughly esti mated thus far; but the reports Indi cate that the combined-vote of Roose velt, Taft, Debs and Chafln will be approximately 1,000,000 more than the vote for Wilson. The figures will bo materially changed by the final count, hut It Is expected that the proportion for each candidate will not vary greatly. The preliminary account gives Wil son approximately 40 per cent of the vote; Roosevelt, 29 per cent, and Taft 23 per cent. The total vote thus far reported Is less than In 1908, while official returns are expected to bring It above those figures. In 1908, out of a combined vote of 14.030,858 cast for Taft and Bryan, Taft received over 54 per cent. BANDITS ESCAPE AFTER ROBBING A TRAIN ON L & N.

HORMON FKHf AGAIN ON IN EARNEST ot American Party Is Heard OF CONSIDERED LIKELY Old Time Foe of the Church May Serve Month in the United States Senate— Democrats Are Aroused Over Church Dictation. Petitions and telegrams Indorsing prominent Idaho Democrats for the re cess senatorial appointment, oonspic uoua among whom are ax-Unlted States Senator Fred T. Dubois, hated opponent of the Mormons, have been received by Governor James H. Haw ley since the result of the recent elec tion became known. They lead to the report that Governor Hawley might appoint Mr. Dubois In punishment for the solid vote of the southeast they swung against him, accomplishing his defeat. Had It not been for that vote Governor Hawley would have been re elected. That this report Is taken with seriousness Is evident from telegrams received last night from Salt Lake, where they had been glyen unques tionable authorities. Governor Haw ley does not deny that he has received petitions and telegrams urging the ap last night telegrams had been received In support of many others as well. "1 will announce the senatorial ap pointment Sunday," said Governor Hawley when Interviewed last night, when his attention was called to the report that telegrams and petitions had been received in support of ex Unlted States Senator Fred T. Dubois, as the recess appointee, vi have re ceived telegrams and petitions not on ly In support of Mr. Dubois, but of many other prominent men. I now have the appointment under serious consideration. In making it I will rely upon my own judgment." Mormons Bold in Predictions. By the "sinister Influences" men tioned by Governor Hawley In his let ter to Governor Woodrow . Wilson, when he congratulated the latter for his sweeping victory. It Is pointed out by party leaders who have studied the election results, was clearly meant the alleged church Influence In poli tics. They declare that the Church of the Latter Day Saints boldly attempted to Interfere in politics when Joseph Smith, Its head, gave out an Interview In the Improvement Era In which he made a strong plea for President Taft. This Interview was generally accepted as dictation In politics. Leading Mormons in Boise had, for several weeks prior to the election, been bold In their declarations that the southeast would go solid for John M. Haines, Republican gubernatorial candidate. The fact that the chair man of the Republican state commit tee was a Mormon gave significance to this report. The successful Repub lican .Mormon candidate for attorney general was just as loud In his asser tions prior to the election that ths southeastern Mormon counties would ' slaughter every other gubernatorial candidate except Haines and that the majorities for him would be some thing enormous. His claims were verified when th» Mormon counties were heard from, yet it Is pointed out by party leaders that he made the boast before the election strongly In dicating he" had been "reliably" In formed how the church vote was go-: ihg. There were other Mormons Just as outspoken. That they knew where of they spoke Is now only too well known to Democratic party leaders. The latter are wondering why they did ' not "tumble" before. Caifsed Fight Before. The Democratic party had the fight of its life In this state over the Mor mon Issue. Fred T. Dubois led the fight against the church and-haa since been liberally hated by that organisa tion. The party then tried to frown It down and there was a wide open split and Dubois lost. Every effort was then made to keep the Mormon church vote out of ' politics ta Idaho. Democrats thought theyjiad' succeeded until they woke up Wednesday and found the Mdrmon majorities fqr Haines and against Hawley starttag them In the faea The Mormon specter, they now say, has returned and the state of Idaho haa been given a dear demonstration of bow the seven south western "chure# counties can distale to the $0 other counties In th« stau who la to be governor.
