Milwaukee, Wis, April 3.-Witk ap.
proximately so per cent of the vote at
esterday's election tabulated, Irvine
L. Lenroot, republican, was leading Jo-
seph Davies for United States senator
by about six thousand votes this after
noom Victor l.. Berger, socialist, was
$1,000 behind the leader. The count
stood:
Lenroot, 11s,4S Davies, 112 5O- ;
Eerger, 1888
Davies made slight gains as the count
progressed and his hackers had not
abandoned hope that he will be elect
ed.
This count included complete returns
from nineteen out of II counties, and al
most complete returns from many
others.
A majority of the missing districts
are regarded as Lenroot territory and
the Lenroot leaders are confident Of
victory.
An analysis of the partial returns
indicates that in several counties at the
German belt much Of the vote given
James Thompson, La Toilette republican
candidate who was defeated at the pri-
maries, was east yesterday for Berger.
Sheboygan and Manitowoc counties,
heavily German, rolled up big maiorities
for Berger. Returns today, however,
made it apparent that Berger has not
pclled total equal to the Berger and
Thompson vote at the primaries.
The final count, it was estimated,
will show that Berger on his stop-the-
war platform failed to poll more than
35 per cent of the combined win-the-
war vote of Lenroot and Davies
Drys Claim Victory.
Wisconsin drys claimed today in the
first skirmish of the fight to elect
dry legislature next fall and ratify the
federal prohibition amendment. Voters
yesterday ousted saloons at Superior,
Ashland and Beloit. The official count
will be needed to determine the result
at Madison, where both vets and drys
claim: victory by narrow margins.
Socialist Elected Mayor.
Moyar Daniel Roam, socialist, was re-
elected over Percy Braman by 1000
votes, returns early today indicated.
Braman conceded Hoan 8 victory.
Marvin b. Rosenberg was elected jus
tice of the Wisconsin supreme court over
Charles Crowhart.

those who believe their boys were in the thick Of

The postoffice authorities state that than
seven million letters have been received at Atlantic
ports since July 20 and every one of these had

soldiers are often so situated not to be able to

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Pollen Extract and Hay Fever.
[ understand that it is now pos
sible to test the skin with different
pollen extracts TO determine which
plant causes hay fever and to i'm
muuize the sufferer with the caus-
ative pollen. If this is correct win

len is responi ] le for the indivil-
uaFs hay fever. Then by grad
uaIly increasing doses administered
under the skin he may bring about
immuniZatiOn.
Something UnbeknOwnst.
Ny husband is an inveterate Gig
aret smoker and has often tried to
give up the habit but always failed.
He said quite a while ago that he
wished I would get something IN
beknown to him and give it to him
in his coffee to cure him. Can you
give me such a remedy?
MRS. ". F.
Answer-No. No such remedy
exists. But if your husband is ut
terly enslaved to his habit and re
ouires secret treatment I would
suggest that you sneak up on him
every time you catch him smoking
and throw a pail Of water on him.
The psychological effect of this is
fine. A man won't smoke very long
when he is sure to be ducked for it.
II your husband is sincere in his
desire to quit cigarets, have him
send a S. A. E. for my Monograph

OverstaYing Leaves of Absence

y
The public is asked by the military authorities
to aid in ending the growing evil of soldiers over
staying their leaves-remaning from camp after the
period has expired There have been hundreds of
instances lately in which have been left here
while their commands have sailed, all because they
neglected purposely inadvertently. to rejoin them
when they should.
1t is no easy matter for a parent or a sweetheart
TO urge young to go back to camp, but the
patriotic thing to do reports at the
hour designated his leave card Not only is it
the honorable course but it is better for the youth
himself for when he does show up after his leave
has expired certain punishment awaits him. He goes
10 France Just the same, perhaps a week later and
therefore delays the danger but slightly if detained
by relatives or friends think they are saving
him from death wounds.
FOR the honor Of the service and for the future
good OF the youth everybody should urge those in
clined to violate leave regulations to observe them
scrupuously.-From the Brooklyn Standard Union.
