already in the field, Racine voted wet
by 4760 votes against 1849. Is there
any question as to the danger that
turks here for LaFollette if the state
ticket Is headed by county option
list?
Sheboygan County.
Take the normally Progressive Re-
publican districts in Sheboygan coun-
ty. In the First district, made up of
the Sheboygan city precincts, the Re-
publicans polled 1916 votes against
22S7 rolled UP by the Democrats, a ma
jority of only SO votes that the LaFol-
lette opposition need change. Turn
to the 1909 Blue Book again, Page I'll,
and look at the Sheboygan city statis
tics Native whites of voting age,
2,606. Foreign whites of voting age
3,434. Majority, S18 And in Sheboy-
gan county there are 10,067 foreign
born Germans and 1874 from the Scan
dinavian peninsula (Blue Book, Pages
1913, 1919 and 200.)
In the Second Sheboygan district
3,433 Republican votes were cast
against 2,167 Democratic. Change only
As votes in the First district and
switch ga of the votes in the Second,
and two more votes are lost to LaFol-
lette's needed So.
kewaunee, Kenosha, ManltoWoc
Counties.
In Kewaunee county with foreign
born vote predominating by 262, the
Republicans polled only LIT votes
against Democratic poll of 1919.
Again but 30 votes need shift to lose
this district to the Progressives.
In Kenosha the Social Democrats
polled SGT votes, the Democrats 2,157,
and the Republicans 3,269, giving Re-
publican majority of LIP. And in
Kenosha there are 1881 men of voting
age of foreign birth against 3,417 OF
native birth. Add that 33 per cent. OF
total vote born of foreign parents. and
how easily this district is lost to Pro
gressive Republicanism. (Blue Book,
Table IS, Page 1859
In the First Manitowoc district 2,0S9
Republican votes were cast against
1886 Democratic. A majority OF only
404 in county with German popula-
ton of 1928 and 700 from the Scandi-
navian peninsula. (Blue Book, Pages
1913, 1919 and 200.)
Winnebago County.
Turn to Winnebago, with its three
assemblymen and its one senator. In
the Second assembly district there
were LOTT Republican votes cast
against 1,735 Democratic, a majority OF
only 242. In the Third there were 1857
votes cast for the Republican against
1872 for the Democrat, a majority of
755. In the First, the city of Oshkosh,
represented in the last legislature by
a Tory though considered normally
progressive, the vote was $3.50 against
1897, a majority of 693 Small ma
iorities, under the conditions being
considered, in county with 6,904 for
eign born voters (Blue Book, Page
1859 and with 1929 Germans in its
population and Gil from the Scand-
navian peninsula (Blue Book, Pages
1913, 1919 and 200)
In Winnebago county too, Progress
sive Republican must stand for cleo
ton Senator John A. Fridd polled
1891 votes against the 1910 rolled up
by his Democratic opponent. A ma
jority of 1921, or 641 votes to be
changed to lose LaFollette vote in
the senate.
Milwaukee County.
Or look at Milwaukee county where
the foreign born vote, made up
as 1t is of an almost solid German
constituency, exceeds the native born
vote by 6,546. The county's total vot-
ing strength is more than $4,000. Add
ing 33 per cent. of this vote, repre-
senting, as pointed out above, the ma
tive born sons of foreign parents, the
majority exceeds $4,000
In the Third district 2,1SS Republi-
can votes were cast, against 1927
Democratic votes and LAOS Socialistic
ballots A majority of only 361 to
overcome-182 votes to change, Il per
sonal liberty is attacked. Is this dis
trict in danger?
Take the Fourth district, Milwaukee
county. The Republicans polled 1888
votes against a Democratic vote of
2,233 and Socialistic poll of 934
Here is majority of only 100; 361
votes that need be overcome by the
LaFollette opposition
Turn to the Eighth district, Milwau-
kee county, where the same anti-coun-
ty option sentiment prevails. The Re
publicars polled LOB votes, the Demo
Gratis 1897, and the Socialists 1,159.
ONLY -FOUR VOTES NEED BE
CHANGED HERE.
Look at the Tenth district, Milwau-
kee county, next. Against Republi
can vote of 1919 the Socialists polled
1,210 and the Democrats 896. Here the
Tory opposition or the Socialistic pha-
lanx naed CHANGE ONLY FIVE
VOTES.
Or pick out the Twelfth district, Mil
waukee county, with its 2.047 Republi-
can votes, 1889 Democratic and 1856
Socialistic. Change but As votes here
and the district is lost to LaFollette
Choose the Thirteenth district, Mil
waukee county, for another example
