q surprising falling on in Republican
votes.
The prohibitlonist vote of the state
made but little showing in the re-
turns. The Social Democratic vote
in the state was largely Increased
over the vote of two years ago, the
biggest increase being reported from
the manufacturing centers.
At 10 O'Clock Mr. McGovern gave
out the following statement:
''T'he Democratic landslide which
started in the east as protest against
reactionary control of the Republican
party in those states did not reach
Wisconsin. Here, instead, a splendid
| Republican victory was won in a
square, clean fight for progressive
principles.
''The record of the Republican par
ty during the last decade and the
platform of this year, fearlessly TAX
| ing an advance ground as it did, upon
every public question, were the chief
arguments in favor of our cause.
! From beginning to end the cam
paign was clean, dfgnified contest.
| To my friends / am deeply indebted
| for loyal and disinterested support,
| for which | can not Adequately ex-
| press my appreciation. and to my OPP
| ponents / am grateful for the uni
| formly generous treatment they ac-
corded me-
! Il realize the grave responsibilities
| the election imposes and shall APP
| proach the discharge of my duties as
| governor with many misgivings, but
with the determination to give the
| people the best service of which am
capable
"The people have spoken. They
want political and economic advance
ment along the lines pursued in this
state during the last ten years and
promised in the present Republican
platform. They must not be denied.
A splendid opportunity is presented
TO the next administration. Wiscon-
sin must continue to be the pioneer
state in the great work which lies
| before us"
At midnight Chairman Krumrey
claimed that McGovern had been
elected by majority of 5000.
1t was a great Republican victory
as compared with the Democratic sue
| cesses in the east said Senator
Krumrey, chairman of the Repub-
lican state central committee.
1--WE have received no returns
whatever from the lieutenant gov
ernor contest, but believe that that
position is secure also. At present,
with only about one-fifth of the re-
turns in, it looks as though Bancroft
| would be elected, although l am not
ready to concede this. The election
| s-s, InNr nj,
with the chances fayOring Bancroft. .
When seen, A. j. Schmitz was still
hopeful of the outcome of the election
for the Democratic ticket. He conceded
The possibility of the Republican party
winding at the polls, but attributed
cir success, if such it would prove to
be. to the loss of Democratic votes
TO the Social Democrats and adherents
of La Toilette
"All / can say" he said, from the
returns | have got, is that the POSSIBLE
tiles are the Republican state ticket is
elected, but as by what majority or
neither it is absolutely certain or not
| can not say, because from the returns
so far received the Democratic cause
mas only lost votes in the two counties
OF Milwaukee aud Racine. In every
other county Democrats have made big
gains over two years ago.
For instance, in the counties of
Rock, WalwOrth, Marathon, Manit0woc,
Sheboygan, Democrats have gained on
IN average of from 30 to 33 per cent.
| 4 we can gain an average of 20 per
CO in all the counties throughout the
state we win carry the state.
