Sell was one of six incumbent legislators unseated by Wisconsin voters Tuesday, and in four instances, the losers seemed quite similar. Those four, including Sell, were first-term rank-and-file Democratic Assembly males from swing districts. They were low-key members who generally sided with the conservative wing of the Democratic caucus.

Republicans are anxious to establish the loss of those seats as evidence of voter rejection of policies of the Earl administration and Democratic leaders. By Paul Fanlund and Paul A. Rix Of The State Journal Ronald Sell, a former parish pastor from Racine County, says he was surprised by his election defeat Tuesday and has no firm explanation, only general notions. Sell, 39, was defeated in the 63rd Assembly District by Republican James Ladwig of Racine by 1,500 votes. That reversed 1982's result, when Sell unseated Ladwig by 500 votes.

"It's really difficult to measure," Sell said. He speculated that his strong support for anti-drinking legislation had mobilized tavern owners against him, that his opposition to a state lottery had cost votes, and that his support for abortion freedom hurt him. He also said his votes for raising taxes to balance the state budget had caused damage. Ladwig campaigned hard on that issue, he said. "That was his centerpiece," Sell said.

Sell said the state will enjoy better times in the future because of tough votes on taxes that Democrats made in 1983 to balance the budget. "I was reshaped to reach north to De Pere, an area in which Rogers had never run. Assembly Minority Leader Tommy Thompson, R-Elroy, said the GOP expected Rogers to be defeated, adding he and others doubted Rogers would campaign hard enough in that new area. Loftus said Rogers' defeat was unique and indicated nothing about the district or Democratic policies. "A lot of things just caught up with Rogers," Loftus said.

"He just picked a fight with anybody in sight." The other incumbent defeat that breaks with the pattern was the 4th Senate District where Democrats defeated the incumbent, the only GOP legislator who was defeated. There, Rep. Barbara Ulichny, D-Milwaukee, collected 57 percent of the vote against Sen. Rod Johnston of Glendale. Ms.

Ulichny's victory was largely due to preserving ties with labor established during six years in the Assembly plus winning the allegiance of business organizations. Democratic staffers say her strategy along Milwaukee's Gold Coast was unprecedented. Ms. Ulichny, who has an economics degree from Northwestern University, becomes the fifth woman to serve in the Senate. fice.

Loftus said that district had a distinct Republican registration edge and Democrats were fortunate to win there in 1982. Republicans picked up two other seats in the Assembly. One was in Be-loit's 45th District, where former Assembly Majority Leader Gary Johnson resigned to become a lobbyist for Wisconsin Bell Inc. Republican Timothy Weeden, a purchasing agent, defeated Democrat Daniel Efner, by about 2,300 votes. Another seat the Democrats lost was the 94th District, formerly held by Rep.

Virgil Roberts, D-Holmen, who was defeated in a bid for the Senate. Republicans said they would have been surprised not to have won that seat because it is a naturally GOP district that had been in Democratic hands because of a popular incumbent. Those four Assembly races aside, the other two races featuring an incumbent defeat Tuesday were legitimate wild cards. One was the loss by Rep. William Rogers, D-Kaukauna, who was beaten by Gary Schmidt, a golf course manager in Kaukauna.

Rogers, an American Indian, was first elected in 1962. The father of 10, he has been colorful and controversial, making irreverent speeches on the Assembly floor and participating in many loud caucus fights. He made headlines for claiming more in reimbursements for meals and lodging than any other Assembly member, and led a drive for a resolution asking the withdrawal of U.S. Marines from Lebanon. Leaders attributed Rogers' defeat, by about 1,300 votes, partly to reapportionment.

The 5th Assembly District, located just north of Appleton, Democrats dismiss that explanation, pointing instead to presidential coattails, local issues, and the natural GOP leanings of the districts involved. As in Sell's case, so many factors combine that a clear analysis is probably impossible. Another of the incumbent defeats also featured a reversal of 1982 results. Rep. Harvey Stower, D-Amery, was beaten by about 300 votes by former Rep.

David Paulson, R-Amery, in the 28th Assembly District on the Minnesota border in northwestern Wisconsin. Two years ago, Stower unseated Paulson by 600 votes. "I put up a tough fight. I hit 'em on property taxes," said Paulson, adding that Stower's vote in 1983 for elimination of a property-tax program cost the district $3.5 million. Assembly Speaker Thomas Loftus, D-Sun Prairie, traveled to that district to campaign for Stower.

He maintained Wednesday the district was a natural GOP area and the loss was not a major surprise. In another of the look-alike GOP victories also in northwestern Wisconsin incumbent Democrat Earl Gilson of River Falls was defeated by Republican William F. Berndt of River Falls by about 350 votes. Again, though, extra chemistry appeared to be at work. Berndt's father, Jule, held the position in the 1981 Legislature.

And in the 83rd Assembly District, southwest of Milwaukee, incumbent Democratic Rep. Raymond Moyer of Rochester was defeated by David Lepak, a Muskego Republican, by about 1,000 votes. Lepak, 25, is a staffer for U.S. Rep. F.
