Senatorial Race
Is Still In
Doubt
(By United press).

Milwaukee, Mar. 20-At three
o clock this afternoon it is impos-
sible to announce whether Irvine
I. Lenroot of Superior, or James
Thompson, Lacrosse, has been nam
ed as the Republican candidate for
United States senator. At this
time the returns favor Lenroot.
but some big Thompson counties
are still to be heard from and the
returns from these counties may
make material changes in the re-
suit. No claims are being made
by either of the candidates. By
returns received up to this hour,
and this means that there are still
returns from seven counties miss
ing, Lenroot has a total of 63.313.
while Thompson has 60,1S3. This
same report shows that Davies on
the Democratic ticket, has won a
landslide victory over DR.. Charles
Mccarthy of Madison, and his vote
will probably be close to five to
every one east for Mccarthy. The
figures so far available give Davies
50,823 and Mccarthy 12,261. These
counties give Berger less than forty
thousand votes, the figures being
placed at 1891. Even the Mil
waukee returns are not as vet com
plete and but ten precincts have
sent in. a complete return. These
show that Thompson has carried
Milwaukee county and that his lead
over Lenroot will be Ia the neigh
borhood of 1900 votes in Milwau-
kee county. Socialists declare
that they are surprised at the vote
which has been cast for Berger and
they declare that advices they had
received indicated that he would
receive a larger vote. In Milwau-
kee, Dan Hoan has been re-
nominated, he securing 20,723 votes
to 1928 for Percy Braman with
the other candidates far behind
Braman. Hoan did not receive a
majority of the votes cast in Mil
waukee. At the Lenroot and
Thompson headquarters this after
noon it was agreed that it will
probably be forty-eight hours be-
fore it will be possible to tell
whether Lenroot or Thompson has
been nominated.

MAY BE HIDING HERE
Two Men Who Took Guard by Sur

Sheridan are Sought in Kenosha

Jack Allen, alleged deserter from one
of the Iowa National Guard units and
Vincent Gesat a deserter from Camp
Macarthur were being sought by the
local police officers and army officials
in Kenosha today. The two men escap-
ed from the guard house at Ft. Sheri-
dan late Tuesday afternoon and they
are supposed to be in hiding some
where along the North shore. The men
had been ordered to empty ashes and
Selling a favorable opportunity they
overpowered the guard and taking his
rifle escaped. 1t is declared that one
Of the men is armed with revolver.
Hurry up messages were sent to all
cities along the North Shore urging
that a search be made for the men.
No suspects were picked up in Keno
sha during the night but every police
officer has been supplied with a de-
scription of the men and if they APP
pear here it is thought certain that
they will be captured The escape
was one of the most daring ever staged
at any army post.

Thompson and Mccarthy Run Ahead IN
Vote in the Rural Districts of County
and Increase in Socialist Vote Is
the Feature of the Day.

Kenosha county went on record on
Tuesday in the senatorial fight and
after a seventy per cent vote at the
primary the question of the loyalty Of
the county to the administration and
to the win-the-war policy is consider
ably in the balance.
Joseph E. Davies, the Democratic
| candidate for United States senator,
led the county with total of 1856
and Irvine l.. Lenroot led the two Re-
publicans under the wire with vote
of ll09. The vote in the city was Just
;little under 1000 but out in the
county the vote was under the five
hundred mark-one of the smallest
votes ever cast in a primary election.
Featured in the election was the
strong showing made by Victor Berger,
the Socialist candidate, who polled a
total of 964 votes in the county, which
was double the Socialist vote ever
polled in the county before. In four
of the wards of the city-the fourth,
fifth, seventh and ninth-Mr. Berger
had plurality and regardless Of the
miserable small vote cast ia the
county tiis-Fs0eia44SS candidate show
ed strength.
1t is evident that party lines were
pretty we'll eliminated in the primary
vote and this was especially true in
some of the towns of the county. As
an illustration Of this the town of
Wheatland, normally Democratic or an
even break between the parties, cast
but % votes for the Democratic can
didate and gave SO of its votes to
Thompson, the LaFollette candidate,
and 19 to Berger the Socialist while the
other Republican candidate got away
with but 3 votes in the town.
Dr. Charles Mccarthy of Madison,
found the country districts in the
county very responsive to the appeal
he had made to them and he led the
candidates in the rural towns of the
county with vote of 100 and Thomp-
son, the LaFollettee candidate was
second with 1913.
Thompson received very strong sups
port In the north side wards for
Republican candidate and in some of
the wards he got a considerably larger
vote than one of the Democratic can
didates for the nomination.
The vote on the candidates for
United States senator was in close
touch with the vote for mayor and
city officials
While Davies led the Democratic
candidates in the county it is admit
ted that his vote was disappoint-
ment to the leaders of the Davies cam
paign in the county as they had been
hopeful that he would get at least dou
BILE the vote cast for DIR. Mccarthy.
The showing which Lenroot made
over Thompson was equally sur
prising to the Republicans.
Here is the vote cast for SEN
ator in the various wards and towns
of the county:
