MILWAUKEE, wis, sept limited
states Senator Robert Nj. La Toilette car
ried Wisconsin at yesterdays primary cleo
ton by an overwhelming majority over
Samuel \. Cook OF Necnah. Figures are in
complete even in Milwaukee county, and
will not be knows perhaps for a day or
two throughout the state.
In this county the senior senator's plu-
rality will easily reach beyond 5000, and
estimates are given of his nomination over
his opponent by vote OF to l.
There is no doubt that La Toilette will
have control of the platform convention
at Madison and that he will have the next
legislature back Of him. So big was his
vote that it carried with 1t large majority
Of the legislative nominees.
The Lafolette state ticket headed by
Francis Il. McGovern, is also nominated.
The "insurgent" congressman were re-
, nominated and added to their strength by
the nomination of Henry {. Cochems the
former Wisconsin university foot ball star.
Cochems defeated stafford for renomina-
ton in the fifth district Cochems is the
man who placed La Toilette in nomna-
ton for president at the last republican
convention.

When Senator La Toilette was notified
! of his triumph he made the following state
ment:
1T shows that the people are awake to
their isterests; determined to restore rep
resentatve government. This splendid vic
tory is nothing personal 1t is the command
of the people that they choose to rule them
selves and will not longer suffer themselves
to be dominated by special interests"
