Republicans Make a Clean Sweep
in the Election Tuesday
Every officer Elected.
ROoSEvELT'S BIG PLURALITY
Landslide for Governor Carries With
1t the Legislative and County Tick
cts. LaFo11ette by Increased Vote

The National election with it's sur
prises-its victories and defeats, its
causes for exu1tation and disappo1nt-
ment, is over, and out of the debris OF
incomplete returns it is evident that
Kenosha county has contributed lib
orally to the landslide which has
landed the Republican officials in Of
fee for another term of years. Theo-
dore Roosevelt has been reelected
president by the largest plurality ever
given a president since Washington,
Robert M. LaFol1ette has been re-
elected governor of the state by p1u-
ra1ity of from 20, 900 to $4,000, and the
entire congressional and Legislative,
as we'll as the entire county Repub-
1ican tickets have been elected by
p1ura1ities ranging from score to
over a thousand.
The great wave of votes which
swept the country to carry the cleo
ton for Roosevelt caught LaFol1ette
and it's followers in it's suction and by
the aid of the landslide for the presi-.
dent the state and county tickets of
the party we're elected.
President Roosevelt has probably
carried the county by from 1880 to
LOO and it is probable that the plu-
rality for the governor and the county
ticket will be 200.
The fact that the returns were so
late in being compiled has resulted in
it being impossible for complete re-
turns to be given. Some of the wards
have made no report save the sealed
report to the county and it is impos-
sib1e to get more than a rough esti-
mate on the votes in these wards.
With the returns that are on hand,
however, it is evident that the entire
Republican county ticket is elected.
Vietch, the Republican candidate for
sheriff, will have the closest rub and
it may be necessary to secure the of
fetal returns before this contest can
be decided. Peterson and Fau1t1ess
ran a close race for county treasurer,
but there is no doubt of the election
of Fau1t1ess by small plurality.
The election had many surprises,
and one of these was the large vote
cast ny the Social Democrats and this
vote in the county will more than
touch the 500 mark. 1t has cut great
figure in the result as it is claimed
that a large number of these votes
were formerly for the Democratic
candidates. The defeat of Dexter
came as a surprise but Dexter failed
to hold the Democratic vote in his
own town and he also fell off in other
towns, while Curtiss ran like scared
rabbit in the country districts.
Dalton made a wonderful run in the
country but his vote was not as large
as had been anticipated and if he is
elected, the election will come by the
discovery of errors in the unofficial
returns.
The primary election was given a
large vote in the county and the most
careful estimate of the result shows
that it will carry Kenosha county by
at least $50.
The board of canvassers will meet
tomorrow to canvass the returns of
the election and at that time the vote
can be given.
According to the incomplete re-
turns up to O'Clock this afternoon
the successful candidates will have
the following total vote and p1ura1i-
ties:
