feated
Such are the results of Tuesdays
election. Timlin carried most pre-
cincts throughout the state, running
strongly up and down the lalleshore.
Captain A r. Bushnell of Lancaster
exhibited unexpected popularity. He
had more than 1000 plurality in his
home county of Grant, and may prove
second in the race, though the prob
ability is that James O'Neill of Neills
vile will follow next after the Mil
waukeean.
In the GAINESVILLE circuit George
Grimm of Jefferson probably defeats
Judge Dunwiddie for the circuit
bench Judge Sale divided the Rock
county vote with Dunwiddie. Beck
err of Monroe also figured in the con
test Dunwiddie is the sitting judge.
Clementson defeats. Cleary for judge
in the Grant county circuit
After a most sensational contest
David S. Rose was beaten for the
mayoralty in Milwaukee by S. M.
Becker, whose plurality is 1,705.
Arnold, socialist, polled 1900 votes
against 22,7OO for Becker and about
81 900 for Rose.
At Madison J. G. Schubert, demo
crat and pro-saloonist, won by 1,046
over L. B. Rowley, who promised to
close the saloons on Sunday and to
get cheaper gas. Rowley was per
sonally highly unpopular, and this
fact was the chief cause of Schu-
bert's victory The council is even
~ bipartisan.
Stoughton went no-license, thus
putting out of business II saloons.
The Hausmann Brewing company Of
Madison owns $4,000 in saloon prop
critics there Other no-license places
Deerfeld and Blue Mounds.
The Dunn ballot law was buried
deeply everywhere.
Republicans carried Vircqua Slough
ton, Whitewater, Waukesha, Tonah,
Ripon, Portage, Marinette, Menominee
and BarabOO.
Democrats were victorious in Ken
osha, Elroy, Columbus, Madison,
Dodgeville, Fond du Lac, Beaver Dam,
Neenah, Appleton, Eau Claire and
Citizens tickets were elected at
Marshfield, Sturgeon Bay, KewasKum,
and Grand Rapids.
The proposition to issue $4,000 of
bonds for the street railways in Chi
cago carried but another proposition,
that the city proceed to operate tho
lines, defeated.
The result of the election leaves
the mayor and his immediate mu-
nicipal ownership lieutenants in a
Quandary. Only two of the three prop
ositions entail any legal effects. The
defeat of the first precludes the pos
sibility of municipal operation which
Mayor Dunno frankly admitted was
necessary to successful municipal
ownership. The adoption of the
second proposition means legal ap-
prevail by the electorate of Chicago
of "the mayors ordinance" adopted
by the council Jan. 18. This ordinance
authorizes the city of Chicago, "to
construct, acquire, purchase, own and
maintain street railways within it's
corporate limits and providing the
means therefor" The ordinance
further makes provision for the is
sue of Mueller street railway certifi-
Gates not to exceed in amount $751;
100000 The adoption of the $75,000-
900 Mueller certificate proposition,
however, is mere AUTHORIZATION and
action by the city council will be
necessary to effect the issuance of
Mueller certificates. Whether the
new council will support the mayor in
his programme and how the defeat
of the operation proposition will effect
the proposed sale of certificates are
questions which none of the Dunno
leaders was inclined to discuss.
