Milwaukee, Sept. 3-Returns
from forty-three out of seventy-one
counties on Tuesdays primary cleo
ton show E. l.. Philip has captured
the republican nomination for COVER
nor and indicates that J. G.. Karel
wins the democratic nomination over
Aylward. The race between Karel
and Awkward is close and Karel's
managers are claiming majority of
5000 in the state. The vote from
the forty-three counties shows: Karel
Z9,763, Awkward 21,158.
Up to late Wednesday it looked as
though the issue between Karel and
Aylward was doubtful, though Karel
seemed to be leading. The returns
received at night, however, were
more complete, including the full re-
turns from many counties, and these
showed that Karel was getting such
vote as warranted the belief that
he was nominated
Philip Has Big Lead
Philip, republican candidate for
governor, carried Milwaukee with a
lead of nearly 5000 and on the re-
turns so far received his vote nearly
equals that of all the other republi-
can candidates for governor COM
bined. The vote of Hatton and Dahl,
who follow, appears to be close,
while Hull, Utman and Roethe are
far behind Returns received from
over forty counties show the follow
ing vote: Philip, 28,237; Dahl, A.
1926; Hatton, 1855; Hull, 5,148;
Utman, 4,01S; Roethe, 1857.

The nominee for United States SEN
ator on the republican side will be
Gov. Francis E. McGoyern. From the
returns received from fifty counties
In the state out of seventy-one. Gov.
McGovern is in the lead for the nom
ination. The same figures indicate
that Levi H. Bancroft will be second
and Thomas Morris third in the SEN
atorial race
With scattering returns received
from forty-three counties, in widely
separated sections of the state. the
totals for the three leading carfdi-
dates for United States senator on
the republican ticket were: McGov-
ern, 22444; Bancroft, 1921; Nor
ris, 1896.

Husting and kearney Close.
1t is impossible to forecast the final
result of the race between Husting
and Kearney, democratic candidates
for the U. S. senatorial nomination.
The returns received show a vote of
21,579 for Husting and aO.386 for
hearney. Complete returns will ap-
parently be required to decide this
contest.
Balance of State Tickets.
So far as the combinations below
governor on all the tickets, republi-
can and democratic, are concerned
the returns are so meager that pre-
'dictions are not safe. The probable
ity is, however, that the present state
officers-Donald, secretary of state:
Johnson, state treasurer, and Owen
attorney general, are likely in the end
to prove the republican nominees.
Peavey seems to be leading for lieu
tenant governor on the republican
ticket.
