Rusk Probably Elected Governor,
Rut the State in Doubt.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, Nov. 3 1915 p. m.
AT this hour indications point TO the cleo
ton of Gov. Rusk, Republican. for COVER
nor by plurality of from 6, 900 to 10. 900.
More sanguine Republicans estimate as
high as Ii, 900, but the labor vote is so sur
prising that all figures are but surmiSes.
In Milwaukee county the labor party has
carried things by storm. Indications point
to the election of the entire labor county
ticket. Smith, labor, for congress IN the
Fourth district, Milwaukee county, is I'M
doubtedly elected. In the Second district.
in which Delaney had so hard struggle
with Gen. Bragg for the Democratic nomi-
nation, Guenther is undoubtedly elected.
He is the present representative in the
Sixth district. but failed of denomination
and was placed in nomination against De
laney as carpet-bagger in the Sixth. At
the Democratic headquarters in this city
the election of Woodward for governor is
claimed. but the claimants are not sanguine.
AT midnight it is conceded that the entire
state Republican ticket has been elected by
a handsome majority. with Gov. Rusk lead
ing. The plurality will probably exceed
20, 600. The legislature is probably Re-
publican with a reduced majority on joint
ten to twelve members of the legislature
and Robert Schilling claims they have
enough to hold the balance of power and
thus control the selection of United
States senator. The congressional delega-
ton will be: First district, l.. b. Caswen,
Rep; Second. Richard Guenther, Rep, a
Republican gain; Third, l.. NJ. Lafollette,
Rep; Fourth, Henry Smith, Labor, a Re-
publican loss; Fifth, Thomas Hudd Dem. :;
Sixth, c. Is. Clark. Rep; Seventh, o. B.
Thomas. Rep; Eighth. W. T. Price, Rep. !;
Ninth, Isaac Stephenson, Rep.

suit here would be watched by him with
interest, and that it might affect
Improvements the company propose in their

on the shops for labor were thereby fright

The result in the county is in doubt. part of
the Democratic ticket being elected.
Chairman Shields. of the Democratic
state central committee. said at midnight
that he felt confident the Democrats had
carried twelve of the fourteen congressional
districts in the state, and possibly more
than that number. although he conceded
the fact that four districts-the Fifth,
Ninth. Tenth and Thirteenth-were very
close. with the outlook favOring the Repub-
lcans in the Ninth and Thirteenth.
