Dowries — Development of Kenosha County. 571 



density of population, valuation per capita, and occupation, we 

 find from table 13 that of the total vote cast in Group I, 41 per 

 cent was for the Republican candidates and 59 per cent, for 

 the Democratic. In Group II, 69 per cent, of the total vote cast 

 was for the Republican and 31 per cent, for the Democratic 

 candidates. 



From these results we must conclude that there is a strong 

 indication of a close connection between the political, social, 

 and economic conditions of the people. Those towns in Kenosha 

 County in which the foreign bom predominate, and in which 

 there has been a decline in population and a decrease in wealth, 

 furnished the strength of the Democratic party, while the 

 strength of the Republican party is in those towns in which the 

 native born predominate and in which there has been a marked 

 increase in both population and wealth.
