Milwaukee, Nov. 4.-Returns from
all sections OF the state, although In
complete, show quite conclusively that
Emanuel l.. Philip, republican candi-
date, has been elected governor OF
Wisconsin
Judge John C. Karel, democratic
candidate, has run behind his 1912
vote, according to early returns. with
John J. Blaine, independent candidate,
third in the race. 1t is doubtful IL Mr..
Blaine win carry single county, al
though La Crosse and Dane were
claimed by his headquarters shortly
before midnight Tuesday.
Karel headquarters would not adj
NIT Mr.. Philips election on the early
returns. The friends of the democrat
fc candidate were banking on the vote
in Dodge county and In other demo-
cratic strongholds, but as these came
in it was finally admitted that Judge
KarePs chances of election were slight.
AT the republican headquarters claims
of victory by margin of $4,000 for
Philip were made at midnight.
McGovern Wins senatorship.
Gov. Francis e. McGovern, repub-
lican candidate. from all indications,
has been elected to the office of I'M
ited States senator for the term be-
ginning on March A, 1915, to succeed
Senator Isaac Stephenson. The re-
suit as shown in early returns indi-
Gates that the governor ran well in all
parts of the state. Milwaukee county,
however, has been carried by his op-
ponent, Paul o. Husting, democratic
candidate. by about 1000 votes. The
socialist candidate in this county ran
second and McGovern third. At re-
publican state headquarters It was
claimed that McGovern would win by
10000 votes in the state.
Amendments Meet Defeat.
Returns. including those from Mil
waukee county, indicate that all the
proposed ten amendments to the state
constitution have been defeated. In
almost all cases they were defeated by
large majority of those voting on
them, although No. 1873, providing for
home rule of cities. appears to have
received more support than any of the
rest Returns received so far show
that the vote was heavier than In most
elections where amendments have
been submitted
Congressional Race Results.
The republicans claim to have car,
ried nine OF the eleven congressional
districts in the state, conceding the
Second and Ninth districts to demo-
cratic candidates. The present repre-
sentation from Wisconsin in the lower
house of congress is republicans eight,
democrats three, the democratic dis
tricts being the Second, Sixth and
Ninth. Based on this claim. the win
ners in Tuesdays contests are:
First district-H A. Cooper, Rep,
Racine.

republican state ticket below governor

o. Owen, State Treasurer Henry John.
