BOISE CITY — On Nov. 7, 1916, Boise's Evening Capital News led an election-day extra with a front-page banner that Hughes had won New York, citing The New York Times' concession that evening, and carried early fragmentary returns from other states. The same page reported that women could vote for president in 12 states and listed Idaho among those where they were already eligible.
