milwaukee, OopG. Z.-Early re-
turns indicate that Philip has car
ried the state and received the Re-
publican nomination for governor,
although the second choice vote and
full returns may show Dahl to be
the winner. Bancroft made great
run for United States Senator, but it
appears that McGovern has beaten all
of his republican rivals to the goal.
The Democratic nominations are
much in doubt but indications point
to the winning of Karel for governor
and Husting for U. S. senator.
The new system of voting in Wis,
consin, by which every voter is given
an opportunity to express his first
and second choice in every case where
there is more than one candidate for
nomination to any office represented
on his ballot, make counting of re-
suits much slower than by the old
method and when midnight arrived
Tuesday night less than one-half the
precincts in Grant county had re-
ported the vote cast at the Septem-
Der primary.
Twenty eight precincts in Grant
county give the following vote on
governor: Republicans-Dahl It's,
Hatton lob, Hull So, Philip 80,
Roethe 1899, Utman p. Democrats
Awkward 2O3, Karel 146.
For lieutenant governor tn same
precincts give: Republicans-Peavey
379, Stout 246, Cousins 322, Dith-
mar 296. Democrats-Hoyt 100,
Ludlow, 91.
Same precincts, for U. S. senator,
give; Republicans-Ba Bancroft 429,
Burke 70, Estabrook 2O2, McGovern
1872, Morris 369, Strange 127. The
only fourteen precincts reporting the
democratic vote on, senator gives Hoyt
12O and Ludlow 81.
Nelson receives the Republican and
Pierstorf the democratic nomination
for congress without opposition.
For members of the assembly in
the first district A. V. Wells re-
ceives the republican nomination, de-
feating Metcalf by substantial
majority. James Dolan is renominat-
ed as the democratic candidate.
In the second assembly district the
vote is very close. With three
precincts missing uscoda, Castle
Rock, and Hickory Grove-the
vote is, for Burgess 670; Heathcote
694; the odds on those unheard from
believed to be slightly in Heathcote's
favor and indicate his nomination.
But few returns are obtainable on
the democratic vote in this district,
but the indications are that O. H.
Martin has won out over John Kelly
for assemblyman.
On the county ticket the only con-
tests are on sheriff, clerk of the court
and register of deeds. Frank He'll,
of Cuba City, has been nominated
for sheriff by large plurality. In
81 precincts his vote totals 1868 to
338 for Bruner, 298 for Chapman,
256 for Mankel and 172 for Samuel
son D. C.. Johnson, of Lancaster,
receives the republican nomination.
For Clerk of the Court, Geo. W.
Barrows the present clerk appears to
have been nominated by a good
majority over James Jeffrey, of
Smelser. VIM. Victoria, of Muscoda.
has the democratic nomination with
out opposition.
District attorney H. E. Carthew
and county treasurer w. G. Living
ston, republicans, are nominated
without opposition.
For register of deeds the result
will be rather close between H. j.
johnson, of Boscobel and Thos. A
Thompson, of Fennimore, with the
odds appesring to be slightly in John
c0p'c favor
