Milwaukee. Wis, Sept. 6.--Senator
Robert M. La Toilette has been re-
nominated by the republicans OF Wis
consin by a majority that at midnight
was figured around the 10000 mark.
Gov. John ]. Blaine's plurality
ranges around the 100000 figure and
probably will be larger than that. He
was the La Toilette candidate. APP
parently the entire La Toilette state
ticket has been swept to victory by
the primary results which are of the
landslide variety, as viewed by
"Bob's' supporters. The only office
at issue is that OF attorney general.
Milwaukee was swept into the La
Toilette column when the first figures
began to appear from the notably
tabor" sections OF the city. The
senator's lead in Milwaukee over w.
A. Garfield, the. candidate of the
La Toilette opposition. is estimated
at between 10000 and 25,000.
May Mean Election.
1t is now a serious question as to
whether the democrats or the So
cialists polled sufficient votes to per-
init either one of them to show as a
party" under the Wisconsin law in
November election.
The democrats had no contests
worthy of mention and there has
been little tabulation, at the mid
night hour, of the democratic vote.
The party needs $4,000 votes record
ed officially in todays primary to get
place on the November ballot. The
sole democratic candidate for United
States senator was Mrs. Jessie Jack
Hooper. Unless $4,000 is shown in
the official returns, Senator La Fol-
lette will have no opponent in No
vember and his nomination yester-
day is equivalent to election.
Senator La Toilette gets the great
est majority than he ever has Sc
cured in direct vote in Wisconsin.
He was permitted by the course OF
the campaign to get all the vets,
most OF the drys, the railroad men
and the bulk OF the labor vote.
