the ELECTION

fuenced by personal interest to an un-
founded optimism guessed they would
he from the results of the September
primary. La Toilette for United
States senator and Blaine for COVER
nor swept the county and state and
dragged the whole Republican ticket
after them to victory. The figures in
dicate plainly that the Democratic
county ticket would have been elected
to man if it were not for the terrific
pull of the La Toilette candidacy. La
Toilette received 9,069 votes in the
county and the Republican county Of
fcers, excluding Mueller who was un-
opposed for county treasurer, ran from
2,073 to 1857 behind their candidate
for senator.
Many hundreds made one mark,
cross in the Republican party circle, to
ensure their vote for La Toilette.
The La Toilette vote approached
unanimity in some towns as evidence
the following where the senator car
ried the town by the following vote:
Centerville, 25 to 8; Gibson, 1876 to 4;
Meeme, l66 to 2; Scheswig, Isl to /;
Town of Two Rivers, 227 to 3.
Tom Brennan for sheriff and Adolph
Strouf for district attorney displayed
the greatest strength, running about
1000 ahead of their fellows on the
Democratic county ticket Charles
Cary for clerk of circuit court topped
the Republican local ticket The fig
ures do not indicate party strength as
the local Democratic candidates re-
ceiyed but little if any aid from the
Democratic state candidates who were
off in the independent column and the
state candidates for the same reason
received but little, if any, support from
the local candidates. This was true
throughout the state.
John eastman (Rep) defeated
Frank Yindra Dem.) for state senator
for the new first district easily, running
in this county about 900 ahead OF the
Republican county candidates.

The three proposed amendments to
the state constitution were all defeated
in this county, the vote falling far
short of that for candidates.
Democrats were heartened by the re-
pudation of the Harding adminlstra-
ton in virtually every state where
state election was held. The election
of Democratic governors or United
States senators, or both in New York,
Ohio, Michigan, Rhode Island, New
jersey, Indiana, Missouri and Mary
land indicate the peoples views of the
present tariff atrocity. Mr.. Harding
is heading the Taft way
The election of the radical La Fol
lette in Wisconsin and Brookhart IN
Iowa and the defeat of Kellogg in Min
nesota constitute more singing re-
buke to the national administration
th.n AVIAN tbe Iapdslide to Democracy
in New York state where the campaign
was fought out on national issues, as
the battles were in reality only con-
tests between factions of the Republi-
can party in which the Presidents
crowd was showed under. The only
candidate for congress in Wisconsin
supporting the national administration
was decisiyely defeated by socialist.
Even the Republican victories, as in
Massachusetts, where the margin of
Lodge, the Administrations pet, seems
to be less than 1000 in a total vote of
$4,000, after the unheard of majori-
ties of 1920, are tantamount to bitter
defeat, and Democratic governor in
the presidents own state is shadow
cast to announce coming event.
The results Tuesday indicate that
Harry Daugherty and Brigadier Gen
eral Sawyer, M. d., may now well pre-
pare to resume the practice of the
