La Follette Setback Shows Wisconsin Split In Battle For Power
In Wisconsin the La Follette faction suffered a major defeat in the Republican primary with Governor Philip F. La Follette and Senator John J. Blaine losing renomination bids. Former Governor Walter J. Kohler Jr. won the governorship. Blaine trailed rival John B. Chapple by about 20,000 votes. House races split roughly evenly as conservatives and La Follette-aligned candidates vie for ten congressional seats. Across the nation, Massachusetts and New York primaries also drew attention.
