counties. Awkward received his high

ried nearly two-thirds of the counties

in 81 number of counties heavy, espe-
cia1ly in his home county of Dodge
On the other hand, Kearney received
strong support in his home county of
Racine.
For the Offices under governor on
the different state tickets there is
decided mixup with the vote so close
that every one will await the return
of the state canvassing board. On
the republican side Dithmar prob
ably has beaten Cousins for the NOM
ination for lieutenant governor by
few hundred on the frst choice vote.
Holman has probably defeated DON
aid for the nomination for secretary
of state by a few hundred
Attorney General Owen and State
Treasurer Johnson, on the republican
side, are renominated On the demo-
cratic side Karel and Awkward appear
to have broken even so far as candi-
dates nominated go. On the Karel
ticket is nominated Karel for COVER
nor. Fisher for state treasurer, and
Kading for attorney general On the
Awkward ticket Hoyt is nominated
over Ludlow for lieutenant governor
and Truesdell over Rawson for sec
rotary of state.
