surprising falling off in Republican
votes.
The prohibitionist 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:
The 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 tn last decade and the
platform of this year, fearlessly TAX
ing an advance ground as il did, upon
every public question, were the chief
arguments in favor of our cause.
From beginning to end the cam
paign was clean, dignifled contest
To my friends am deeply indebted
for loyal and disinterested support,
for which l can not Adequately ex-
press my appreciation, and to my OPP
ponents am grateful for the uni
! formly generous treatment they &C
| corded me.
Il realize the grave responsibilities
the election imposes and shall ap-
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 a majority of $1,000.
at was great Republican victory
| as compared with the Democratic sue
| eesses 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 / am not
ready to concede this. The election
lies between Bancroft and Dohert.-,
with the chances favoring Bancroft. =
When seen, A. ]. Schmitz was still
| hopeful of the outcome of the election
| for the Democratic ticket. He conceded
the possibility of the Republican party
win ling at the polls, but attributed
cir success, if such ii 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 possibii-
| tiles are the Republican state ticket is

Nhether it is absolutely certain or not
