been received of a date later

as 10,000 returns have already been

Party Honors Are Divided In the < Itie*.
Milwaukee, April 3.—Wisconsin
elected a justice of the supreme court
to succeed Justice Winslow, who was
the candidate of the bar and on a gen-
eral call for re-election. His opponent
was Judge George 15. Clementson, also
a candidate on a general call, as no
party nominations were made. While
the contest was therefore nomi-
nally non-partisan, party lines were
to some extent drawn, as Winslow
was a democrat and Clementson a re-
publican. The vote throughout the
state was light, and the returns indi-
cate the election of Clementson. Re-
publicans have elected mayors in the
following Wisconsin cities. Ashland,
