tension. In all it comprises approx
imately eight miles of canal.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 5.--Regu

apparently had won a major victory
IA yesterdays primary, on the basis
Of latest returns today. The rcgu
l"r Republican candidate for Cover
nor. Waiter j. Kohler, had COM
manding lead over Joseph d. Beck
Progressive candidate.
Governor Fred Zimmerman, run.
ming for collection and IA member
Of the old LaFollette faction, was
left far in the rear. 1t was the first
time in 33 years that governor OF
Wisconsin failed TO be elected for
Il second term.
However, Robert LaFollette, son
of Fighting Bob,' was successful
in his effort for the nomination to
the United States senate over George
W. Mead. the "rcgular' Republi-
can candidate.
Returns from 2,l43 precincts of
the 2,747 in the state gave the fol
lowing results:
For governor: Kohler 1926

Returns from 1926 prccinctssfor

Reports from various districts in
dicated that the regular Republicans
scored one Of their most impressive
victories in Wisconsin in recent
years. In many places the contests
were close and the LaFollettc
forces took hope that later returns
would change the results literally.
