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 a protest against
reactionary control of the Republican
party N those states did not reach
Wisconsin. Here, instead, a splendid
Repu blican victory was won in a
square, clean fight for progressive
principles.
THE record of the Republican par
ty during the last decade and the
platform of this year, fearlessly TAX
ing an advance ground as it did, upon
every public question, were the chief
arguments in favor of our cause.
From beginning to end the cam
paign was a clean, dignified contest.
To my friends | am deeply indebted
for loyal and disinterested support,

press my appreciation, and to my OPP
ponents | am grateful for the uni
formly generous treatment they ac-
corded me.
II realize the grave responsibilities
the election imposes and shall APP
proach the discharge of my duties as
governor with many misgiyings, 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 linec 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 McGoyern had been
elected by a majority of $4,000.
1T was great Republican victory
as compared with the Democratic sue
cesses in the east" said Senator
Krumrey. chairman of the Repub-
lican state central committee.
I'VE 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-ffth of the re-
turns in. It looks as though Bancroft
would be elected, although l am not
ready to concede this, The election
lies between Bancroft and Doherty,
with the chances favoring Bancroft. i"
When seen, A. J. Schmitz was still
hopeful of the outcome of the election
for the Democratic ticket He conceded
the possibility of the Republican party
winning Mt the polls, but attributed
ter success, II such it would prove to
be. to the loss of Democratic votes
to the Social Democrats and adherents
of La Toilette
"All l can say" he said, from the
returns have got is that the POSSIBLE
| tiles are the Republican state ticket is
elected, but as by what majority or
whether it is absolutely certain or not
| | can not say, because from the returns
so far received the Democratic cause
has only lost votes in the two counties
of Milwaukee and Racine. In every
other county Democrats have made big
gains over two years ago.
For instance, i'm the counties of
Rock, Walworth Marathon, ManitowOc,
Sheboygan. Democrats have gained on
an average of from 30 to 80 per cent.
Il we can gain an average of 20 per
ce IN all the counties throughout the
state we will carry the state.
