sometimes characterized species of 'fummery"

THE WISCONSIN ELECTION,

That the American people fully aroused to the

in the results of last Tuesdays election in which
Irvine L. Lenroot the Republican candidate for United
States senator elected by plurality about 10
over Joseph E. Davies the Democratic candidate with
Victor L. Berger the Socialist about votes behind
Davies. The state is normally Republican by from 60 O0O
to 100000 but the La FoetteSocalistic elements were
