MiIwauiseEs-'The Republicanystate
ticket is elected in Wisconsin by a
plurality of from $4,000 to 10000.
SaAs returns showed a large cut in
khe Republican vote of the state
and the result VII demonstrate the
fact that the big Republican plurali-
ties received by Gov. Davidson and
his associates upon the state ticket
can not DE counted by Francis E.
McGovern and those who go into
office with him after Jan. 1.
The returns were exceedingly slow
in coming in and from the first indi-
Gated big slump in the Republican
vote and considerable gains in the
democratic vote. These, however,
we're not sufficient to carry Wisconsin
into the Democratic column.
Many precincts scattered through
out the state, when compared with
the vote of two and four years ago,
showed a. valiant. struggle on the
part of the Democrats to increase
their vote, but the percentage of
gains, as well as the percentage of
Republican losses, is insufficient to
elect Schmftz or his fellow Demo-

one of the remarkable features of
dhe election rs found in the remark
ably strong showing made by Judge
hevi III. Bancroft. candidate for at
torney general. who, upon returns so
far received, is elected, in spite of
the independent candidacy of Charles
n. CFownhart and the efforts of the
Republican state central committee.
The returns show that he ran well
up with other candidates on the ticket
and that Crownhart's candidacy was
state with any degree Of favor. The
vote showed Crownhart out of the
running very early in the evening, the
only question being whether o. not
bancroft would be able to beat Do
herty, his Democratic opponent.
While the result upon the returns
so far received. is still in doubt. suf-
iicient reports have been received to
indicate Baneroft.ss election by vote
considerably less than the balance OF
the state ticket. In many precincts
Bancroft ran We'll up with the Repub-
tican ticket and his election can be
claimed at this hour with reasonable
certainty.
The vote received by Judge Ban
croft, when compared with the vote
cast for other state officers, shows
that he was generally supported by
Republicans. and whatever cut the
state ticket sustained was largely due
TO the fact that Republicans resented
the action of the Republican state
. central committee in forcing an in
dependent candidacy
Returns show the election of a
majority in both branches of he
uext legislature sufficient to insure
che return of Robert M La Folle.te

ma. ority of the Republicans elected
are pledged to vote for his return.
In many of the districts the Demo-
Gratis have made gains and he"e ofore

the lower house, returns being too

elected with certainty.
