The Elections in the Different States
Facts and Figures.
Sufficient figures have been received
to give the general results of the cleo
ton of the I'd, although additional
returns may slightly change the ma
iorities. In Wisconsin the figures are
nearly all in. The Republican state
ticket is elected by from 15, 900 to co.
900. One of the surprises of the count
was the election of Guenther in the
Second District over Delaney. Another
was the triumph of the Labor party
in Milwaukee County, where the entire
county ticket is elected. The Labor
candidate for Congress, Henry Smith,
was also elected by a, good majority.
The Congressional representation is BIS
follows: First District, l.. B. Caswell,
Rep; Second District, Richard Guen-
ther, Rep; Third District, R. NJ. La
Toilette, Rep; Fourth District, Henry
Smith, Peo.; Fifth District, L. r.
Hudd, Dem; Sixth District, G. B.
Clark; Seventh District, O. B. Thorn
as, Rep. Eighth District, W. T.
Price; Ninth District, Isaac Stephen
son. The vote for members OF the
state Legislature indicates Re-
publican plurality on joint ballot
of thirty one. There was net
Republican loss of four districts, as
compared with the Assembly of 1885.
Only one OF these is outside of Milwau-
kee County. The Republicans have
gained 2 members in Brown, l in
Dodge, III Grant, in Iowa, l in JET
ferson, l in La Crosse, 1 in Lafayette,
1 in Outagamie, l in Washington. The
Democrats have won 3 in Milwaukee,
1 in Barron, 1 in Clark, in Manito-
Voc, 1 in Oconto, 1 in Racine, 1 in
Richland, 1 in Rock, 1 in Shawano, l
in Waukesha, and 2 in Winnebago.
Latest returns make slight changes in
the complexion of the state legislature.
In Barron County, Chas. S. Taylor,
Rep, is elected instead of D. G. Strong,
Pro. In the First District of Brown
County, r. w. Cook, the Democratic
candidate, is elected in place of G. Du
Pont, the Republican candidate. In
Kenosha County both parties are
claiming the election of the assembly
man, and it is In doubt. In Oconto
County the Republican candidate,
is elected in place of l.. S. Bailey,
Democrat. In Polk County, J. III.
McCourt, the Independent Republican
candidate, is elected instead of the
straight Republican. In the Third
District of Winnebago County, Frank
Challoner, the Republican candidate,
is reelected instead of the Democratic
candidate. In the First Senate Dis
trict, Amos Holgate is defeated by
Edward Schofield, Rep.
The election in Racine resulted in s.
sweeping victory for the Labor party,
which combined with. the Democrats
on many candidates. The votein the
entire city was only $500, q ire
mendous falling-off from 1884-nearly
1000. No politician has been able
to explain this as yet. Every Labor
and Fusion candidate went out of the
city with majorities ranging from 800
to 500, showing that the Knights
of Labor organization, num-
bering nearly 5000, have the
power to elect whom they please in the
city. The fact that the Democr attic
party has been swallowed by the La
Dor party WIS also shown, Woodward
receiving 513 votes in the city, while
Cochrane got 1866. Rusk has in the
county 2,36S votes; Cochrane, 1925;
Woodward, 1,208, exclusive of Bur-
lington, which gives the Democratic
ticket an average majority of about
175 Rusk's plurality over Cochrane
Is IA; over Woodward, S95.
Many interesting facts are shown by
an analysis Of returns from the city
and county of Milwaukee The re-
vised returns show. that Smith car
ried the county by aplurality of 3,518
over Brown, and 1912 over Black,
lacking but % votes of an even 5000.
Smith received Is, 272 votes, Brown
9,754 and Black bat S 800. Brown,
therefore, had l,454 more votes than
Black.
