Larger Vote Than 1904
Taft carried Wisconsin by plurali-

Taft carried Wisconsin by plurali-
ty of 81,966.
One of the noticeable things about
the vote as cast this fall was that it
was but a little larger than the vote
for president in 1904; about 5000
more, in fact. but there was a differ
ent distribution. Taft, for instance,
received 81, $40 less votes than did
Roosevelt in 1904, while Bryan re-
ceived AZ, 499 more votes than did Par
ker in 1904
One of the significant things shown
is the lack of gain in the Social Dem
ocratic vote. This vote was 100 less
than four years ago, and the party
vote fell off in all the counties where
the movement was supposed to be
gaining.
