though the issue between Karel and
tAylward 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
Phillip Has Big Lead.

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-

result of the race between Husting
and Kearney, democratic candidates
Tor the q. S. senatorial nomination.

Balance of State Tickets.
So far as the nominations 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
ofticers-Donald, secretary of state;

Peavey seems to be leading for lieu
