There we're no upsets in the Republl-
can primaries on Tuesday so far as
Kenosha county were concerned and
the political representations ran true
in nearly every case and the ticket
named is one of the strongest that the
Republicans have ever offered to the
voters Of the county.
The vote in the Republican ranks,
while much heavier than that cast by
the Democrats, was eight" vote.
Kenosha county had her part in the
splendid endorsement given to Cover
nor Philip by the voters Of the state
and in this county the governor ran
far ahead Of any and all of his com
petitors. Far outstripping the predic-
tions of his closest political friends in
the county, he not only had plurality
in the county but he had majority of
more than 265 votes and he had 300
votes more than Hatton and McGovern
combined. The showing of Hatton in
Kenosha county was a disappointment
to his friends as he got but 313 votes
in the whole county McGovern was
only just little ways ahead of him
with 526 and Philip had total of
1889. Don @. Hall, the actor politi-
clan, got just 80 votes in Kenosha
county.
Senator LaFollette showed that he
still retains his hold on the party in
Kenosha county and he hal majority
of 161 over M. G.. Jeffris oil GAINESVILLE.
Philip had a plurality in every vot-
ing precinct in Kenosha county and in
most of them he had majority over
all other candidates. His strength was
emphasized all over the county and his
large majority was one Of the features
of the primary in this county.
Philip was not able to carry his
associates on the convention ticket to
victory in the state, but there were
notable features in the race for the
minor nominations. George L. Har-
rington of Elkhorn had the honor of
getting the largest vote Of any of the
state candidates. lie polled total of
1,175 in the county.
Tn the little family row over Keno
sha county nominations there was great
interest. 1t conferred about the nom
ination for sheriff and district attorney.
Clarence Blackman Of Somers s'The
Farmer Boy" gave Tom Scott some
thing of a run for the money, but
Scott had a comfortable margin of 514
when the report from all the precincts
was in. The race for district attorney
which was expected to furnish a close
race proved runaway, for Peter
Fisher, Jr. and he carried every pre-
cinct in the county and finished close
to a thousand votes ahead of Frank S.
Symmonds. Fisher was running all the
time and everywhere.
James w. Blair proved that the peo-
pie appreciate service. He had served
as deputy county treasurer for eight
years and although the people were
called up to name him against John
Hegeman, one of the old war horses OF
the party, they rewarded him BY
placing him on the ticket by majority
of lS9.
?. Q. Torrey and Carl Starr, the con.
tending candidates for register 81
deeds, had pretty race, Torrey win.
ming by $40 votes
The palm for the largest vote in the
Republican ranks went to the usual
place-to County Clerk Jones. The
people endorsed his administration n
that Office by giving him 1904 votes
on an unopposed ticket This was owe,
200 votes more than were cast for any
other Republican candidate.
The tabulated vote for the Rennhl;
can candidates will be found in anoth
er column.
