Vote for Blaine ~ 226
Kenosha contributed its share to the
republican vote in the state on Tues
day when Emanuel L. Philip of Mil
Waukee, secured an endorsement from
the voters of the county and the demo-
cratic plurality of Judge John C.
Karel two years ago was wiped out
and Philip got the county by plurali-
ty of 100 votes. At that Philip YVES
only ten votes behind Governor Me-
Govern who has been accorded q big
personal popularity in this county aid
the governor S plurality for senator
oN er Paul Husting was 119 votes.
Calvin Stewart, the democratic can
didate for member of congress, in the
first district, failed to carry his home
county and Henry Allen Cooper, the
p'esent congressman, occupied his usual
place at the head of the republican
county pluralities with vote of sos
more than Stewart in the county.
Charles H. Everett, the republican
candidate for state senator, in the dis
trict, ran with the ticket in Kenosha
county and his plurality over DR.. Nc
Cracker IN This COUNTY mas 982 Re,
port'sfrom Racine Indicate the election
Of Mr.. Everett by large plurality.
John J. Blaine of Boscobel, who was
injected into the campaign as an indie
pendent candidate to beat Mr. Philip,
failed to get any great support in Ke-
nosha county and in fact his total vote
was only little over two hundred.
He ran behind Oscar Ameringer, the
social democratic candidate, who polIed
288 votes in the county. The falling
off of the social democratic vote came
as surprise and disappointment to
the members Of this party. Blaine
failed to get any material support in
any of the towns or wards and in only
few of the voting precincts did his
vote get into the double figures.
Blaine got his heaviest vote in the
fourth ward in the city where he ran
up the splendid total of 80 votes.
The vote On the amendments to the
state constitution in Kenosha county
attracted considerable attention, but
the exact result of this vote viii not
be known until after the official Cont
Of the ballots is made later in the
week. The first returns indicated that
the amendments had all been diaap-
proved by the voters Of this county and
the later returns showed thai the vot-
ers had expressed their disapproval by
a vote of from two to three against
the amendments. Not one of them
came anywhere near carrying in the
county. The amendments providing
for the state to get into the insurance
business met with especial rebuke and
the majority against them in every
Il wn and word was exceedingly large.
There was not a precinct in the county
where any Of the amendments got
majority. The vote on the amendments
was decidedly large and the "pink
ballot" was voted by moro than
seventy per cent of the voters. This
is regarded as an unusually large vote
for ballot on questions.
Reports on the minor places on the
state ticket indicate that the other can
didates ran slightly ahead of McGov-
ern and Philip in this county, but
there was not any great difference in
the vote. Attorney General Owen had
the largest vote among these candi-
dates, getting total of 2657, little
less than 200 more than the vote
polled for Philip.
The returns from the state at large
are still incomplete but reports from
Milwaukee insist that Philip had de-
feated Karel by plurality of close to
q, 900 votes and it is declared that the
total vote for Blaine, most Of which
was taken from the republican side of
the house, viii not exceed 10000
Paul O. Husting gave Governor MeGov-
ern a beating in the race for United
States senator in Milwaukee county,
but it is claimed that the governor ran
strong in other parts Of the state and
that the Milwaukee plurality for Hust-
ing viii not affect the result.
The entire state republican ticket
seems to have been elected. Reports
from the first district indicate that
