LEGISLATURE Is Republican.

The Wisconsin legislature will be
republican in both branches. Eleven
republican, two democratic and three
senators running on a non-partisan
ticket were elected to the upper
house, while the assembly has elected
ga republicans, 81 democrats, so
cialists and 10 members elected on
the non-partisan ticket. Some OF
these non-partisans will affiliate with
the republicans and some with the
democrats.
The complexion OF the senate VIII
be 23 republicans, democrats, ! so
cial-democrat and men elected as
-partisans.
There would seemingly be little
chance for the defeat of the income
tax law at this session of the legis-
lature, as at least II and possibly Is
members of the Legislature are
pledged against the repeal of the law.
The democrats make a gain OF
practically five senators, for while the
kee county were elected without par
.ty bias, IT is understood they VIII act
with the democratic senators. In two
senatorial districts the democrats
gain seats outright. In the Sheboy-
gan-Ozaukee counties district Will
lam Richler succeeds Henry Krum-
rey, republican. l.. X. Kellogg is
elected senator in the Green Lake
Fond du Lac counties district.
