Lenroot, the Choice of La Toilette,
Is Defeated by 10000
y -
Votes. ~.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 5.-The latest
returns from yesterdays primary cleo
tons, tho far from being complete, in
dictate that Governor James o. David
son (rep) swept the state, defeating his
opponent, Speaker Irvine L. Lenroot,
by majority of 10000.
Awkward Over Merton.
John A. Aylward (dem.) of Madison
received the nomination for governor
over Ernest Merton of Waukesha by q
safe majority.
The vote was comparatively light,
the democrats having turned out in ex-
tremely small numbers. This was prob
ably because there was no opposition
for many of the offices, there being but
one candidate in several instances.
Cary Defeats Often.
In the congressional race William J.
Cary (rep.) of Milwaukee defeated
CONGRESSMAN Theobald Often for the
nomination in the fourth district. Will
liam H. Stafford, present congressman
from the fifth district, was renominated
over Henry F. Cochems in a close con-
test.
Close for Babcock.
Congressman J. W. Babcock and
Judge D. o. Mahoney are running a
close race in the third district, with the
result still in doubt. The same condi-
lions exist in the ninth district, where
Congressman Edward S. Minor and
Gustave Kustermann appear to be run
ming neck and neck.

Count Is Slow.
The returns under the primary sys-
tenn are being counted very slowly In
Milwaukee county, for instance, every
ballot has nearly $50 names. Every
ballot must be counted by hand, and it
will be night before some Of the pre-
clncts can be reported completely.
Vouchers for Davidson.
Chairman Peter J. Koehler of the
republican county committee, who had
charge Of the Davidson Connor cam
paign in Milwaukee county said:
"The people Of Wisconsin would not
stand sending Jim Davidson home in
disgrace. Tt can be absolutely relied
upon that Davidson is not going to be
the weak man he has been pictured by
La Toilette. President Roosevelt has
always believed in square deal, and
the. people Of this state hold the same
belief. -
