(Rep.) was elected governor by a ma
jority of about 100000. The other Re-
publican candidates for state offices
were all elected by comfortable ma
| jorities.
The legislature will be Republican
by good margin, insuring the re-
election of Senator La Toilette The
Democrats will have the largest rep
resentation in the legislature Of 1911
which they have hao for 16 years.
The division in both branches of the
legislature will be:
Senate, Republicans 20, Democrats
3, Social Democrats 2. Assembly, Re-
publicans 60, Democrats %, Social
Democrats IL. Total Republicans in
legislature, SO; total Democrats, 3d.;
total Social Democrats, IA.
Even if the eight holdover senators
should vote against the election of
Senator La Toilette he would have on
joint ballot so votes, or 13 more than
enough to elect him.
The gains to the Democrats in
members of the assembly came main
ly in the southern and eastern parts
of the state. In. the southern tier of
counties, Green, La Fayette, Iowa and
Crawford, which have for years been
represented by Republicans, this fall
elected Democrats to the assembly
On the eastern tier, Sheboygan
changes two Republicans to two Dem
ocrats, Manitowoc changes two Repub-
licans to two Democrats, and Kewau-
nee, which was represented by a Re
publican, will have a Democrat in the
next legislature. Brown, Outagamie,
Marathon, Lincoln and Trempealeau
counties add one each.
