GOVERNOR DAVIDSON WINS.
Gets 10000 Majority Over LenroOt
for Republican Nomination.


Indications are that Gov. Davidson by
10000 majority has won the Republican
gubernatorial nomination from Irvine L.
Len1Oot of Superior, who was backed by
Senator La Toilette Although fair
weather prevailed throughout the State, it
is estimated that only go or 40 per cent
of the total vote was out. The greater
part of the voting strength was out in the
cities, but the country vote was light, ow-
ing to farmers being busy and many not
understanding nor caring about the new
primary election law, which was given
its first test. One of the surprises of the
election was the strength of w. g. Conner
OF Marshfield for lieutenant governor.
He ran on the Davidson ticket, and from
returns leads Davidson. Conner is
millionaire lumberman, who two years
ago was chairman of the Republican state
central committee. He was opposed by
John Strange of Neenah, a wealthy paper
manufacturer. Davidson is serving out
the unexpired term of Gov. La Toilette,
who resigned to become United States
Senator. La Toilette espoused the cause
of Speaker Lenroot on the grounds that
LenroOt was an ADLER and stronger man
than Davidson, and would serve and adj
vance the reform legislation of recent ses-
sions better. La Toilette made a strong
campaign for Lenroot, making many
speeches a daV

Salvage of Steel Ships stern First
Similar Feat i'm History.
The spectacle of half a boat coming into
harbor was witnessed in Superior the 9th
er afternoon, when the after end of the
steamer Lafayette was towed into port by
the tug Zenith. The Lafayette was one
of the Steel Trust boats which went
ashore in the big storm of last fall. She
was broken in two parts and one member
Of her crew was drowned. No attempt
was made to save the forward end of the
Lafayette, but a bulkhead was built
across the after end and it was then
pumped out. Finally 1t was tOwed to

of its kind ever accomplished. The ma

saved, will be put into her consort, the
