> Milwaukee, Nov. Returns from
all sections of the state, although in
complete, show quite conclusively that
Emanuel L. Phillip, republican candi-
date, has been elected governor of
Wisconsin.
Judge John G. 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 if Mr..
Blaine will 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
ic 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
Karels chances of election were slight.
At the republican headquarters claims
of a victory by margin of $4,000 for
Phillip were made at midnight.
McGovern Wins Senatorshp.
Gov Francis E. McGovern, repub-
lican candidate, from all indications,
has been elected to the Office of I'm
tied States senator for the term be-
ginning on March 4, 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 OPP
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
a large majority of those voting ON
them, although No 1913, 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.
Second district-M. E. Burke, Dem,
Beaver Dam.
Third district. M. Nelson, Rep,
Madison.
Fourth district-W. ]. Cary, Rep,
Milwaukee.
Fifth district-W. Fl. Stafford, Rep,
Milwaukee.
Sixth district. H. Davidson, Rep,
Oshkosh.
Seventh district. ]. Esch, Rep,
La Crosse.
Eighth district-E. E. Browne Rep.
Waupaca.
Ninth district f. Konop, Dem.
Kewaunee.
Tenth district A. Frear, Rep,
Hudson.
Eleventh district L. Lenroot,
Rep, Superior.
The defeat of NJ K Reilly, demo-
crat, candidate for reelection in the
Sixth district, is claimed by small
margin. All of the other candidates
IN this list are present incumbents.
State Officers Are Reelected.
There seems to be little doubt,
judging from returns, that the entire
republican state ticket below governor
has been elected. Secretary of State
John A. Donald, Attorney General w.
o. Owen, State Treasurer Henry John
