WISCONSIN GIVES ITS VOTE TO C. E. HUGHES

La Follette and Philipp Victors in Balloting. Milwaukee, Nov. B.—Both sides at the outset believed the margin of victory in this state would be extremely small. Four thousand _ Wisconsin guardsmen voted on the border. United States Senator Robert M. La Follette, running for another term, had

espoused many Wilson doctrines and sentiment was remarkably mixed. Running against La Follette was Wolfe, regular Democratic nominee. Governor E. I. Philipp, running for re-election, was opposed by Burt Williams, Democrat. The indications are that Hughes has carried the stale by 50,000. Philipp was cut for governor but has a lead of about half the presidential candidate.

St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 8. —The vote in Missouri was the heaviest in the history because of the interest in the statewide Prohibition proposition to be decided The Republicans made a hard fight to elect Judge Henry Lamm for governor.
