Roders, present chairman Of the
county board, who had plurality of
179 votes. 1t was the first defeat for

years.
Denaoe Eats Get Votes Enough
All of the candidates on the Demo-
cratic ticket got votes enough to in
sure their names appearing on the bal
lot with the possible exception of the
candidates for member of the assem-
bly,. Andrew Anderson in the First
district had 346 and Mathew Siebert
in the Second district had 343. It will
take some figuring on the part of the
county clerk and possibly an opinion
from the attorney general to decide
just how many votes were necessary
in the two legislative districts. Frank
Badly" Willems, candidate for sheriff,
led the Democratic ticket in the
county, he getting nearly HOO votes.
There was horrible slump in the
vote for some of the Democratic can
didates for state offices several of
them falling far below the ten per
cent of the vote cast for Colonel Nc
Coy in the last general election. 1t
was evident that in all of the so-called
Democratic wards the Democrats pre-
ferred to vote in the Republican prim-
aries.
LaFoIIette Misses One.
Senator LaFollette was given an
endorsement by Kenosha county vot-
ers. He carried every ward in the
city and most of them by large mar
gin. He did lose one town in the
county as the town of Bristol showed
it's preference for DR.. Garfield by
margin of five votes. In the other
towns of the county LaFollette had a
large lead over his opponent. His
vote was especially heavy in the north
wards of the city.
Governor Blaine carried every ward
in Kenosha with the exception of the
Second, which favored Morgan, but
his plurality in the ward was less than
a hundred votes. The town of Bristol
also took kindly to Morgan and gave
him the lions share of the primary
vote.
Companions Slump Of Badly.
There was bad slump in the vote
cast for some Of the state candidates.
in Kenosha county. Sol Levitan, the
Blaine-LaFollette candidate for state
treasurer, failed to carry the county
and Henry johnson trotted in with
the largest vote as in the primary of
two years ago. John F. Baker who
was opposed by the BlaineLaFollett
leaders, had majority Of over 800
votes in Kenosha county over Herman
L. Ekern, who was thought to be the
prime 5hvorite of the senior senator
and VITO was understood to be in
training for high political honors at
the next general election.
Politicians failed to offer an ex-
PLANTATION for the slumping off Of the
vote for these candidates.
Congressman Henry Allen Cooper
won great majority Of the votes in
Kenosha county and in the district.
In this county he led Lawrence C.
Whittet, who was endorsed by the
Wisconsin Association against Prohi-
bition, by more than $500 votes. It
was one of the largest votes ever re-
ceived by Cooper in Kenosha county.
Loef May Run for Clerk.
While the Democrats Of the county
proposed no candidate for the office
Of county clerk, it is possible that
there will be candidate on the tick
ct as a large number of voters wrote
in the name of Theodore Loef and
the official canvas will be necessary
to show whether Or not he received
votes enough to get on the ballot
There was no bitterness shown as a
