p % UNNING true to form, the Repub-
IN licans of Wisconsin renominated
United States Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette in the primaries last Tues
day. No one with any knowledge of
the situation expected they would do
otherwise. However, "Bob's" majority
was probably surprise even to him,
being well over 100000 according to
incomplete returns. 1t was landslide
and carried with 1t the entire slate
backed by LaFollette, including Gov
ernOr ]. J. Blaine, who won by more
than 10000. Rev. w. A. Ganfield,
college president and candidate Of the
Anti-Saloon league, was unable to de-
tach from the senator's support many
of the Republican drys although La
Toilette is openly wet. Then, too,
the senator naturally received the
votes Of the large population of Teu-
tonic origin. The one surprise of the
day was the defeat Of Congressman A.
p. Nelson Of the Superior district by
H. H. Peavey. Nelson is prominent
leader Of the drys and his downfall
was accomplished by combination Of
the LaFOllette organization and the
Association Opposed to Prohibition.
The Democratic nominee for. senator
against La Toilette is Mrs. Jessie j.
Hoover of Oshkosh.
