La Toilette congressman Win
In the nine districts outside of Mil
waukee county all of the present con
gressmen were reelected. All of these
/ congressman are supporters of Sen
ator La Toilette
In the First district Henry A. Coop
er retained his seat by a large ma
jority Edward Weight won in the Sec
ond district John NJ Nelson, national
| campaign manager for La Toilette,
captured the Third. Florian Lampert
won in the Sixth. Joseph Beck was
! victor in the Seventh. E. E. Browne
was reelected without opposition in
the Eighth. George J. Schneider won
| by large margin in the Ninth James
A. Frear won handily over both a
democratic and an independent can
/ didate in the Tenth, and HI. H. Peavey
was reelected in the Eleventh district
Berger Has Close Rub
| While John G. Schafer of Milwau-
| kee appears to have won decisive
victory for congress in the Fourth
| district, r. A. Braun, republican, and
| Victor L. Berger, socialist, were fight
ing close battle in the Fifth district
| with Berger having a very narrow
lead. The unofficial totals in this
district stands:
Victor L. Berger (soc.) .32,134
K. A. Braun (rep) .31,73S
Raymond Moore (dem) .13,410
Moore, with a strong labor backing,
cut deeply into Bergers vote, and it
I is evident that Berger failed to re-
ceive the full strength of the La Fol
lette vote, which he counted upon.

| the legislative halls of Wisconsin, as
result of the election. Three women
