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 Sem
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 M. 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 cam
didate ia the Tenth, and H. #. Peavey
was reelected in the Eleventh district.
Berger Has Close Rub
While John c. Schafer of Milwau-
kee appears to have wen a decisive
victory for congress in the Fourth
district, r. A. Braun, republican, and
Victor L. Berger, socialist, were Eight
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). .32,1S4
E. A. Braun (rep.) !. 81 ,73S
Raymond Moore (dem) ....... .13,410
Moore, with a strong labor backing,
cut deeply into Berger's vote, and it
is evident that Berger failed to re-
ceive the full strength of the La Fol
lette vote, which he counted upon.
