Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1908-04-09

Barnes of Rhinelander, former chair
man of the state railroad commission
who resigned when Governor David
son signed the two-cent fare bill, is
elected over Justice r. NJ. Bashford.
Reports from the state are still too
meager to estimate his plurality, but
from figures available he is leading
in all parts Of the state by a big ma
jority and the final figures will place
his plurality at 10000 or more.
Overwhelming for La Toilette.
Incomplete returns from all parts
of the state indicate that Senator Rob.
ert NJ La Toilette has been given a
solid delegation to the republican ma
tionaI convention.
The four La Toilette delegates at
large are elected beyond question. In
many counties they defeated the Taft
delegates by four to one. While the
returns are not so easily stated as
regards the district delegates, the in
dications are that the Taft delegates
have been overwhelmingly defeated,
except possibly in the eighth district,
where two sets Of La Toilette men
were in the field While the returns
from Marathon, Lincoln, Wood and
Langlade counties are incomplete, the
reports received indicate that the La
Toilette delegates are elected.
