HOW MUCH SCOFIELC RAN BEHIND.

Where an election is not close little
interest is taken in the official returns;
but this year, owing to the fight made
on the head of the republican ticket,
the official returns have been anXiously
looked for to settle the question as to
how much Governor Scotield ran be-
hind the other candidates on his
ticket. The official count has been
completed and the fact is ascertained.
Governor Scotield's total vote was
173, 1877 and that of the democratic
candidate for governor, Judge Sawyer,
1875, 335-leaving Scofield's plurality
81, SO2
The total vote for the other candi-
dates on the republican ticket was as
follows:
Jesse Stone, lieutenant governor,
1S0,043.
w. H. Froelic, Secretary of state,
1S0,43S.
J. 0. Davidson, state treasurer, $780,
1872.
E. r. Hicks, attorney general, $780,
O73.
L., D. Harvey, state superintendent,
$50, 500.
G. L. Rice, railroad commissioner,
1SO,1O6.
Emil Giljohan, insurance commits
sioner, 1S0,019.
Thus it will be seen that Governor
Scofield's vote fell behind that of the
candidate for lieutenant governor,
6,9O6.
Governor Scotield s vote fell behind
the average vote cast for the state
officers excluding that cast for COVER
nor, 1921
Governor ScotieldS vote fell behind
the average vote for state officers iD-
Guiding the vote cast for governor,
6,231.
A reference to the complete returns
shows that about one-third of the cut
on the head of the republican ticket
came from Dane county and Milwau-
kee county.

Mr.. M'KINLEY'S EXPANSION POLICY.

The presidents treatment of the
questions growing out of the acquisi-
ton of new territory through the war
with Spain will invite commentator
neither from the enthusiastic eXpan-
siOnists, who are ready to annex every
thing which can be bought in the
open markets or brought within range
of American guns, nor the deSpairing
patriots who are ready to date the
downfall of the republic from the
time when the American government
attempts to extend its official intiu-
ence beyond swimming distance from
oEr continental coasts. The story of
the war and of the peace negotiations
is told in way to serve as basis for
such policy as future development may
make necessary, rather than as an eX-
cuSe or argument for schemes or eX-
traordinary national ACKNOWLEDGMENT
already perfected in the presidents
mind. Those eager eypanSioniSts who
propose to have Cuba annexed within
a year or two, no less than European
critics who have questioned the good
faith of this government in its avowcd
intentions with respect to the CubanSe
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1898-12-08

will find nothing doubtful or capable
OF double meaning in Mr.. Mckinley's
plain assurance that Spanish rule
must be replaced by a just, benevolent
and humane government, created by
the people of Cuba, capable of per-
forming all international obligations
and which shall encourage thrift, in
dustry and prosperity, and promote
peace and good will among all Of the
Inhabitants, whatever may have been
their relations in the past.
With reference to the Philippines
the president does not discuss their
government or their future for the
given reason that 'Such discussion
will be appropriate after the treaty Of
peace shall be ratified" But in vari-
GUS parts of the message it is made
evident that the president anticipates
as certainty that the results of the
war will be accepted as bringing new
and great esponsibilities to the AM
erican people and that the control of
the Philippines in some form will be
one of them. His approval of the
recommendation for large additions
to the regular army and the navy, his
attention to the growing Importance
of our commerce in the Orient and
the complications there, his pro-
nounced encouragement of the Near
aqua canal project, all go to indicate
his belief in the readiness of the people
to engage in an extension of American
