ticket is elected in Wisconsin by a
plurality of from $4,000 to 100000.
The returns showed large cut in
che Republican vote Of the state
and the result WSsl demonstrate the
fact that the big Republican plurali-
ties received by Gov. Davidson and
mis- associates upon the state ticket
can not be counted by Francis E.
McGOVern and those who go into
office with him after Jan. l.
The returns were exceedingly slow
ia coming in and from the first indi-
Gated big slump in the Republican
Yote and considerable gains in the
Democratic vote. These, however,
we're not sufficient to carry Wisconsin
INTO the Democratic column.
Many precincts scattered through
out the state, when compared with
the vote of two and four years ago,
showed a valiant struggle on the
part Of the Democrats to increase
their vote. but the percentage of
gains. as well as the percentage of
republican losses, is insufficient to
elect Schmitz or his fellow Demo-
Gratis.
Although claims were made early
IN the evening that the Republicans
mad carried the state by practically
the usual Off year plurality, returns
SO far received show that the ticket
IS elected by q largely reduced vote.
But few returns up to this hour have
been received from the cities of the
state where the vote shows the hav-
lest cut on the ticket Just what this
cut will amount to in the total of the
result can not be stated. Various es-
Inmates give the Republican ticket
0iuralities running from $4,000 to
10000.
One of the remarkable features of
the election is found in the remark
ably strong showing made by Judge
Levi III. Bancroft, candidate for at
tOrney general, who, upon returns so
far received, is elected, in spite of
the Independent candidacy of Charles
Il. CroWnhaFt~and the efforts of the
Republtcan state central committee.
The returns show that he ran we'll
up with other candidates on the ticket
and that Cr0Wnhart's candidacy was
not received by the voters of the
state with any degree Of favor. The
vote showed CrOWnbart out of the
cunning very early in the evening, the
only question being whether Or not
Bancroft would be able TO beat Do
herty, his Democratic opponent.
While the result, upon the returns
" 50 far received, is still in doubt, suf
:icient reports have been received to
indicate BaneToft's election by a vote
considerably less than the balance of
the state ticket. In many precincts
Bancroft ran well up with the Repub-
iiCan ticket and his election can be
claimed at this hour with reasonable
certainty.
The vote received by Judge Ban
croft, when compared with the vote
cast for other state officers, shows
shat he was generally supported by
:tGpUbICanS, and whatever cut. the
state ticket sustained was largely due
10 the fact that Republicans resented
the action of the Republican state
central committee in forcing an in
dependent candidacy.
Returns show the election of a
majority in both branches Of The
aext legislature sufficient to insure
The return of Robert NJ. La Toilette

majority of the Republicans elected
are pledged to vote for his return.
, Inamany of the districts the Demo
Gratis have made gains and heretofore
safely Republican districts will be
represented by Democrats. In Mil
vaukee the Social Democrats elect
twelve aSsembIymen n one senator,
giving them q representation Of four
teen members in the next legislature.

The Republicans will organize the
uext legislature, electing the speak

officers. The contest for speaker will
undoubtedly be between Assembly,

ard John Mcconnell of La Crosse.
The Democrats have made a cOnsid-
cradle gain III the membership OF
the lower house, returns being too
incomplete to give the list Of those
elected with certainty.
Col. John J. Hannah said that the
Republican state central committee
had heard from so cut Of the 100 as
sembIy districts. In these Repubi-
cans had elected forty-five, the Dem
oorats = twenty-five and the Social
DEMOCRATS twelve, with one doubtful
of the twenty districts remaining.
Col. Hannah said the Republicans
would have fifteen and the Democrats
i've. The Republicans, he said had
elected fourteen senators, We Demo-
Gratis two and the Social Democrats
one, with one district in doubt
While reports are still meager, re-
turns show that a number of former
Republican counties have gone Dem
ocratic. This is notably SO in the
case of Kenosha county. A number
