This is indicated in the fact that the
Senator himself had the greatest ma
jority, while Blaine, who has had the
best share of Bob's support, won by
the next largest margin, and others,
not so strongly stressed in the cam
paign, were held to closer victory.
La Follette's victory is interpreted
nationally as victory for the Asso-
citation Against the Prohibition
Amendment, the association which
was perhaps the largest active factor
in the La Follette-Blaine campaign.
La Follette's successful ticket is as
follows:
Robert NJ, La Toilette, U. S. Sena-
tor.
John J. Blaine, Governor
Geo. G. Comings, Lieut.. Gov.
F. r. Zimmerman, Sec. of State
Soloman Levitan, State Treas.
H. L. Ekern, Atty. General
Congressman j. A. Frear, although
had his name attached to
the La Toilette ticket.
County Election
The big surprise in the Pierce coCl-
ty election was the fact that although
C. E. Hanson was the only assembly
and no general campaign
had been made against him, quite a
of tickets were found with
his name scratched and that of Ed.
Wilde of Elmwood substituted. Han
son, however, carried through by a
wide margin.
The present sheriffs of both coun-
ties lost out Tuesday. Robson won in
Pierce county and O'Brien in st.
Croix.
