Republican Landslide Defines Wisconsin Victory in County
The election produced a sweeping Republican gain across all branches as President Roosevelt won by a record plurality. In Marshfield Roosevelt led and Peck carried the city with 168 votes, while La Follette remained behind the national ticket but was re-elected in Wisconsin. The piece notes a slow count and incomplete precinct totals, mentions a primary law passage, soldiers monument support, and honors Dr Y B A Lathrop who narrowly misses lieutenant governor but is praised for his local legacy.

Marshfield Betting on Local Election Grows Large
In Marshfield this year betting on the election reached a higher total than in many years with several thousand dollars changing hands. Most wagers favored the governor's race while county candidates and city wards drew wager activity. La Follette supporters offered 5 to 1 that Peck would fail to carry the fifth ward, shaping bets across all wards against the incumbent governor.
