For Congress, both terms-JOHN
M. NELSON.
James o. Davidson has defeated
Irwin L. Lenroot for the republican
gubernatorial nomination in the pri-
maries by more than two to one. A
light vote was polled, probably not
more than 40 per cent of the total.
Strange for lieutenant governor was
| by an equally large ratio defeated.
The majority in each case, despite
the light vote, will exceed $4,000. It
may reach more. But returns are
count was slow. The Davidson lead
is quite generally uniform in all quar-
tiers of the commonwealth. He car
ries Madison heavily, and Dane
county by upwards of 1900. This es-
innate is based on the returns so far
in. They are most incomplete. Be-
yond doubt F. l.. Gilbert of Madison
has defeated MCGEE of Milwaukee for
attorney general by a big majority.
Houser ran strongly for secretary OF
state but was defeated by Froehlich
For insurance commissioner Pur-
tell leads He probably has beaten
Beedle, though the latter gains
fast on upstate returns.
John A. Alyward of Madison is the
democratic nominee for governor. His
victory over Senator Merton of W'au-
! kesha is clearly indicated by all the
returns received but he, like all dem
| ocrats seems to have been sacrificed
democrats everywhere vote the repub-
lican ticket freely.
! Cooper for congress carries the first
district and Babcock the third while
in the second John M. Nelson has been
elected by 1000 for the short term
and nominated for the long term.
Indications point to the nomination
of Kuestermann over Miner in the
ninth congressional district.
