N'GOVERN ELECTED BY SAFE MARGIN
LARGE CUT IN REPUBLICAN VOTE DUE TIL
DEMOCRATS.
BANCROFT is STRONG AND MAY WIN BUT BEHIND
Candidate Probably Successful
Garry Couny-8erge Congress-

a 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 in those states did not reach
Wisconsin. Here, instead, a splendid
Republican victory was won in
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 l am deeply indebted
for loyal and disinterested support,
for which | can not adequately ex-
press my appreciation, and to my OPP
ponents l am grateful for the uni
fOrmly generous treatment they ac-
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.
1.-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 $4,000.
at was a great Republican victory
as compared with the Democratic sue
cesses in the east" said Senator
Krumrey, chairman of the Repub-
! lican state central committee.
eve 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.
When seen, A. J. Schmitz was still
/ hopeful of the outcome or the election
! for the Democratic ticket He conceded
| the possibility of the Republican party
winning at the polls, but attributed
t. cir success. if such it would prove TO
! be. to the loss of Democratic votes
| TO the Social Democrats and adherentS
! of La Toilette.
~'AH I 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. in the counties OF
Rock. Walworth. Marathon, ManltoWoc,
! Sheboygan. Democrats have gained on
ga average of from 30 to 80 per cent.
| f we can gain an average of 20 per
CO t in all the counties throughout, the
state we will carry the state.
