RESULTS OF The PRIMARY

election, renOnlnaJlnS oenduOr INoDert
M. La Toilette by an overwhelming
majority over Samuel A. Cook OF
Neenah, placing in the field the entire
progressive state ticket, headed by
Francis f. McGovern of Milwaukee
and nominating enough progressive
state senators and assemblymen to in
sure the reelection OF Senator La
Toilette in the Legislature next winter,
provided the Republicans are victorious
in the November election.
Returns from the state are slow in
coming in, but from the meager re-
suits that have been obtained, it is
p Nconservatively estimated that La Fol
lette's plurality over Cook Will be
$1,000. OF the twenty-five counties
from which complete returns have
been received, not one has been lost
by the senior senator and scattering
returns from other counties indicate
that he has maintained n safe lead over
his opponent in those places.
Returns on the three-cornered guber-
Material fight between Francis f.. Nc
Govern, T.. 7. Fairchild and Capt.
William Mitchell Lewis are as slow
in coming in as those on the senatorial
fight, In the counties thus heard from
McGovern has n comfortable lead over
Fairchild, with Capt. Lewis third.
Strange and Barker were hopelessly
outclassed by the other three candl-
dates.
Aside from the gubernatorial and
the senatorial contests, the most inter-
esting feature Of the campaign and
primary was the nomination of the
late Frank r. Tucker as candidate for
the office of attorney general over
Levi II. Bancroft of Richland Center
and Henry A. Gunderson OF Portage.
Bancroft's campaign managers do not
concede fuckers nomination, but in
counties heard from up to O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon, the deceased
candidate had good lead over his
rivals. At the McGovern headquarters
it was said that Tucker would carry
the state by at least 10000.
The insurgents gained one candidate
for Congress when Henry f. Cochems
defeated Congressman William II.
Stafford for denomination in the Fifth
district Cochem's majority over Stat
ford is between 500 and 1000. The rest
of the Republican nominees remain the
same rs two ears ago. Congressman
j. II Davidson of this district had easy
sailing with George f. Beedle, winning
by a vote of to |.
WELSSE DEFEATS WILLIAMS
There was little or no contest on the
Democratic ticket. The contest for
the endorsement for United States
senator between Congressman Charles
II. Weisse of Sheboygan Falls and
Burt l.. Williams of Ashland, was won
bv Congressman Weisse by Il to
vote.
John Il. Callahan received the nomi-
nation for secretary of state over
William Theissen. NJ. f.. Burke Of
Beaver Dam received the Democratic
nomination for Congress in the Sixth
district. His opponents were Nj. Is.
Reilly and T.. w. Clark, both of Fond
du Lac.
The Democrats obtained the neces-
slry 20 per cent vote to entitle them
to place on the official ballot at the
November election.
MANITOWOC COUNTY'S VOTE
In Manitowoc county, as elsewhere
La Toilette swept everything.
Fred Esch carries the local assembly
district. With one precinct missing
the vote is, Esch GIL: Willott 4l6;
Moldenhauer 124.
1t looks like neck and neck race
between Ledvina and Wehrwein for
state senator. In this county with
three precincts missing Ledvina has a
majority of about so. Reports from
Chiffon Wednesday afternoon indicated
that Wehrwein had carried Calumet
county by 100. 1t is probable the re-
suit will not be known definitely until
after the official count.
Senator Randolph had no opposition
but he poled big vote. In some pre-
cincts his vote was larger than the COM
bined vote of contestants. He got a
splendd endorsement in Calumet Co.
also. Mr.. Randolph is popular and his
election is almost foregone conclus-
ion.
The contest in the second district on
the Democratic ticket between A. ID.
Strouf and Christ Rhen is likewise
close With the town Of Cato missing
Strouf has a lead of about 40 votes.
On the Republican ticket the contest
for county clerk with few precincts
missing resulted as follows: Vraney
l25l; Lyken 476.
On the Democratic ticket incomplete
returns give Gretz 52l. Etzler 49l
Pierce 1886 Cato, Gibson and Manito-
voc Rapids are missing.

coroner by 200 or more over A. j.
Shmek.
