Milwaukee, April mayor David
S. Rose (dem.), candidate for reelec-
ton, carried the city by a plurality
estimated at from 1000 to 10000 over
Charles H. Arson (rep.). Rose carried
the balance of the democratic ticket
with him, thus insuring the election of
William H. Gaebner for treasurer, Pc
ter Pawinski for comptroller and Carl
Runge for city attorney. While the re-
turns are far from being complete, the
indications are that the republicans
will control the common council by a
slight majority. Roses plurality for
mayor two years ago was 2,401 and
four years ago over 1000. Judge War
rem d. Tarrant (rep.), who ran as an
individual candidate for circuit judge,
was elected by large plurality over
Lyman G. Wheeler, the regular repub-
. lican nominee. The democrats did not
nominate candidate for circuit judge.
