BOISE CITY - On Tuesday, Nov. 14, 1916, Boise's Evening Capital News reported that Republicans would demand recounts in Idaho's governor's race over how straight-ticket ballots scratched on governor had been counted, hinting they would go to the highest court for their candidate, D.W. Davis. Gov. Moses Alexander's camp said his plurality of about 700 would stand; the paper said no fraud was charged. The Library of Congress holds a scan of that issue.
