LEWIS, NOT DISCOURAGED, To

Captain William Mitchell Lewis

standing on county option platform,
This information is not official, but
it comes from sources so close to the
Racine optiOnist that it's reliability can
scarcely be questioned. The following
is part of a lengthy statement publish
ed in this mornings Madison Demo-
crat: Lewis, it is said, went into
the fight for a principle, and, as he had
good reason to believe, with the sup
port of the La Toilette people. His in
Inmates are not disposed to admit how
much money, If any, he contributed
directly to the progressive campaign
fund, but popular notion prevails
that, in the early stages of the contest
he shelled out literally. In fact, it was
freely believed that it was he indeed
who was being depended on chiefly to
finance the progressive fight. He open
ly spoke for the La Toilette cause
throughout the contest. His political
advertising, and it cost untold thou
sands, was as much in La FolIette's be-
half as his own. La Follette's portrait
in his advertising was even given prec-
edence of position over his own.

was classed as an issue akin to the
Bennett law doctrine which must al.
ienate the foreign vote. "County option
no issue" was one caption.
1t was not till many advert isements
appeared in about the last issue of the
press before the primary, so it is said,
that Lewis learned that he had been
discarded.
He still believes, if he can get the
issue squarely before the people at an
election where every elector can mark
the ticket fully in accord with his own
preferences, that he can win; and it is
on the theory that he purposes to pro-
ceed. He is said not TO be discouraged
but rather electrified by the recent
revelations, the results and the pOssi-
bilities. He is put down as utterly fear
less and independent, and ready to
undergo the thrill and pay the cost OF
a fight to a finish. He has not declared
his intention of continuing the contest
but his friends say that his crusade fol
county option has SO far only passed
the first stage.
Democrats naturally are watching
with keen interest to see hat he will
do. They believe that, with him in the
field, a more than even chance offers
for the election of Adolph j. Schmidt
as governor.

But Latest Returns Indicate

Many democrats in Dane County
were so interested in the republican
vote at the recent primaries that it
was doubtful for some time as TO
whether they had poled the necessary
20% to place the county ticket ON the
ballot, 1t is said that many good
democrats voted the republican ticket
endeavOring to help a friend or defeat
a foe and the result was small dem

Many voted for the senatorial can

dates for the county ticket. George

chairman states, however, that tie
