Incumbent justice Thomas E. Fairchild was re-elected to a second term, unopposed. Prior to the election, there had been some concern that Fairchild might face a competitive challenge, as he had authored the majority opinion in the 1964 McCauley vs. Tropic of Cancer obscenity case. Public displeasure with this opinion had been at significant controversy in the court's competitive 1964 election, and had also been a matter of controversy in the 1965 election. However, Fairchild ultimately went without facing any challenger.Koehler Michael Baseball, Apple Pie and Judicial Elections: An Analysis of the 1967 Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Marquette Law Review 1 January 2001 85 1 223 https://scholarship.law.marquette.edu/mulr/vol85/iss1/8/ 4 July 2025 Result 1966 Wisconsin Supreme Court electionhttp://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/WI.WIBlueBk1968 The Wisconsin Blue Book, 1968 1968 Theobald H.
