May Lose Party Place on NoVem-
Der Ballot
Milwaukee-Pra complete re-
turns from the republican primary
election contest in Wisconsin show
that United States Senator La Toilette
has gained denomination with a record
majority. The entire state ticket,
headed by Gov John j. Blaine, which
carried the Endorsement of Senator La
Toilette, has also been victorious.
Reports from 2,244 out of 2,529 pre-
cincts showed a majority of 198,709
for La Toilette over William A. Gan
field, and this assured a majority ex-
ceeding the 100000 mark when all the
state has been heard from. The count
stood
La Toilette .............. 327,347
Garfield ................. 1868
Returns from 2,23S precincts showed
Blaine's majority 164643 over William
j. Morgan for governor The vote on
the three candidates ror that office
stood:
Blaine .................. 300,239
Morgan ............,.... 13o,59o
McHenry ...,.....,..... 1885
La Follette's state ticket went over
by a large vote, including Sol Leyitan
for state treasurer, and Herman L.
Ekern for attorney-general, after
hard fight with their opponents, Henry
Johnson and John f. Baker, respective
ly. Incomplete returns gave Levitan
a majority of 11,441 over Johnson
while Ekern had a lead of 29,960 over
Baker Comings, for lieutenant cover.
nor led Riley S. Young by $4,000 votes
and zimmerman had a majority of
$4,000 over Paulsen for secretary Of
state.
Democrats Fear Light Vote.
Returns indicate that nothing short
Of a complete canvass Of the primary
vote will determine whether the demo
Gratis polled the required 10 per. cent
vote to get their candidates on the
election ballot.
John P. Hume, state chairman, init,
mated that the constitutionality of the
10 per cent law might be tested, then
he added the democrats would run as
Independent candidates anyway in case
they failed to poll the necessary vote.
Reports Indicate that the demo
cratic vote for governor may reach the
required mark Of $4,000, but it seems
doubtful whether Mrs. Jessie Jack
Hooper, who is running for United
States senator, win reach that figure.
In 813 precincts, a little less than
third Of the state, the count for gov
ernor in the democratic primary was:
Bentley 1896; Mathie AIT,

run up more than the necessary 10
