The Republicans
At first it was thought that the
LaFollette faction of the republican
party had been defeated and very
thoroughly at that. The conservative
papers so proclaimed it. They claimed
all of the delegates at large of the
Phillip faction, and it looked as if
their predictions would come true. The
first returns received showed over
whelming defeat for LaFollette if the
percentage kept up. 1t did not keep
up, and now it looks as if only Gov.
Philip was saved out of the four
conservative delegates at large and
that the LaFollettites will receive a
majority of the district delegates.
In the eighth district Walter Alex
of Waupaca, were elected.
+. C. ESchweiler Elected
F. C. Eschweiler was victor in the
contest for associate justice of the
supreme court in place of Justice
Timlin. The great lead he received in
the southern counties in the state
made it easy for him to win. In Mil
waukee he had a lead of 10000. His
plurality in the state will be from
5000 to 10000. The returns in the
five cornered race place Eschweiler
first, Turner second, Belden third, Cor
rigan fourth and Fowler fifth.
Justice Eschweiler was born in
Houghton, Mich. and is SO years of
age. He has been a resident of Mil
waukee since a very young man. He
was admitted to the bar in 1889. He
was elected to the position of circuit
Judge in 1910 and reelected without
opposition in 1915.
