Lorain County Liquor Laws Shackled in 1859 Record

Among 11 criminal liquor cases, only two convictions occurred. one fined $20 and costs, the other 10 days jail and $50 costs. Divorce suits were few, with five filed and most seeking money for damages, mortgages, or wages. The docketing system began in 1859 with entries in docket number one.

Wisconsin GOP Regulars Sweep State Primary
Regular Republicans and conservative factions won major Wisconsin primary victories led by Walter J. Kohler who defeated Progressive Joseph K. Beck for governor while Robert La Follette Jr. secured the U S Senate nomination. Governor Fred Zimmerman, aligned with the La Follette camp, finished far behind. Returns from thousands of precincts showed Kohler and La Follette ahead with Zimmerman’s defeat among the sharpest in years, signaling a Republican shift though some districts hinted at late changes. Zimmerman's anti saloon stance and air campaign failed to offset Kohler's lead and La Follette's Senate win.
