The prohibitionist vote of the state
made but little showing in the re-

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 a
square, clean fight for progressive
principles.
| ''The record of the Republican par

| platform of this year, fearlessly TAX

| every public question: were the chief
arguments in favor of our cause.
| From beginning to end the cam

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-fifth of tie 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 of the election
for the Democratic ticket. He conceded
the possibility of the Republican party
winLing at the polls, but attributed
cir success, if such it would prove to
be, to the loss of Democratic votes
! to the Social Democrats and adherents
of La Toilette.
"AI [ can say" he said, from the
returns [ have got, is that the POSSIBLE

| elected, but as by what majority or

! can not say, because from the returns

gains over two years ago.
