BOISE CITY - On Nov. 9, 1916, Boise's Evening Capital News told readers the presidential race "now looks like Wilson," with California and North Dakota leaning his way, Minnesota appearing to go to Hughes and New Hampshire switching to Wilson after errors turned up in the count. Closer to home, the front page said late returns had made Idaho's governor's race very close, putting Gov. Alexander's lead over Davis at 567 votes and saying only the official count would settle it for his opponents.
