THE DESPAIR OF MILWAUKEE
POLITICIANS.

sherburn Merrill Becker, the boy
mayor of Milwaukee, is the despair
of practical politicians, and it is re-
freshing to read Of his vigorous cam
naipn and his official acts since his
incnmbency in office in these days
of graft and political corruption.
Becker is less than thirty years
of age, was elected on the Republi-
can ticket, but declares he was nom
;rafed by the votes of all factions,
and his election is very satisfactory
to the voters of all factions opposed
to greed and graft.
When he announced himself as a

as ! joke-that is, the practical pol.

faction, I desire to say that if you
wish to elect me mayor you must be
tolerant :.
You must forget the past
You must remember the issues OF
today and forget those OF yesterday;
otherwise I will never be your mayor.
1t has been charged by corpora
ton new spaper that l am in a deal
with certain faction. The charge
IS false. I am perfectly free from
entanglements Of any kind with all
factions.
The people who voted the Republi-
can ticket nominated me, and the
only thing the bosses had TO do with
it was TO try to defeat me.
I sincerely hope that Charles F.
P6ster and Francis E. McGovern are
friends Of mine and that they will
support me- Neither is my political
adviser guide or custodian.
His platform was one that appeal
ed to the common people, those who
believe in justice and the beterment
of humanity. Here it is, and who
could resist such an appeal?
| A clean, honest and efficient adj
ministratien Of the city's affairs, with
an honest disbursement Of the tax
payers money.
A city government which will ac-
| cord under the law to every citizen
the largest measure OF individual
! liberty
! More and better railroad facilities,
! electric and steam, interurban and
! suburban
Strengthening and deepening the
/ river channels, constructing turning
! basins and bascule bridges to insure
j and increase our lake commerce.
The hurried completion of the
Sixth and Twenty-s street via
/ ducts-the necessity for these is inn
mediate
| A municipal electric lighting plant
/ Elevation ana depression of rail
road tracks, for he safety of life
limb and property, especially on the
south side.
The rigid enforcement of reason
able smoke ordinance to protect the
| beauty Of the city and its homes.
A continuous demand for the high
est grade of service at the hands OF
all public service corporations.
New fire and police stations and
6reboats as the growth of the city
demands.
! A 6reproof auditorium and music
hall, with a seating capacity for at
least 10000 people.
| Small parks-breathing places-in
the thickly populated districts of the
city, to be chi1dren's play grounds.
| Erection oi more public bath
houses.
| The broadening and lettering Of
our public school system with the
building of sufficient new school
houses to allow us to discontinue the
use of the unsightly and insanitary
barracks at the earliest possible date
Better and cleaner streets and ar
expansion of the park, water and
sewer systems.
/ promise the people my best eff
forts at all times for a greater Mil
waukee.
| Every day proves Becker's faith
fll fulfillment Of the promises he
made. The grafters, the swindlers
and all of that ilk have been given
the cold shoulder. In every branch
of the municipal department he has
gone to work in = practical way. His
unearthing of graft stirred the city
of Milwaukee from center to CIR
conference As an instance Of how
7 he weeds ont the bad and works har-
mony All around, the following is :
The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1906-06-09

very good illustration:
In 1904 Becker became a candidate
for alderman from the First ward.
He was elected, the first Republican
to land the job from the ward in
twelve years, and the vote was the
largest ever cast This success de-
cided the young man. He had found
himself and adopted politics as his
avocation. To use his own words,
az surprised myself because it came
so easy. | made UP my mind that a
fellow who was on the square and
was not afraid and would shoot it
right at them could get all that was
coming to him from the voters
In the common council Becker was
assigned to the tail end of the COM
mittee on fire department. He said
nothing, but went to work. He had
fire alarm system rugged tip in his
bedroom and converted stanhOpe
INTO a fire wagon He purchased a
Glitch quick" harness and hired
driver whose sole duty was to take
him to fires For two years he has
been responding to every 2-II alarm
and he knows the ms and outs OF the
department. Now, in addition to the
alarm apparatus at his house. he has
its duplicate installed in the mayors
office, and proposes to keep up his
fire duty in the same old way, I'll
, have more to say about it now than
| did" he remarked with a smile,
"and | guess that the boys will get
a little quicker action
Becker's knowledge of the work
ing of the fire department has already
been of practical benefit to Milwau-
kee There has been some friction,
some factiona1 differences within the
organization which threatened to I'M
pair its efficiency Last Sunday
morning he called the chief and prln-
cipa1 officers to the city hall and gave
them a short, sharp talk, saying
among other things:
you men are hired to fight fires
and nothing else. There is one man,
and only one man. for you to obey,
and that is Chief Clancy. He is 60
ing to stick as chief. and am gong
to stick with him. / just want you
all to know this. so that there will
be no Misunderstanding. Now you
can all shake hands and be good fell
lows. / don't want anyone to come
to me. The chief is bossing the de-
partment, and the men who don't
like him can get out and stay out
won't stand for any knocking.
The Milwaukee fire department IS
on better terms with itself than it
has been for some time. OF course
there is still some nlutterlng, and
there are those who hazard the guess
that some of the disgruntled ones
will attempt to interest the police
and FIRE commissioners III opposition
to the mayor "IIl take care of that
when it's up to me-. was the mayor
only comment when a newspaper
man asked him questions along those
lines.
What makes his administration the
more remarkable is that he IS a young
millionaire, has been three times
around the world. has visited every
city Of importance. and has made
close study OF municipal government
How many other young millionaires
in the country are there who would
take such lively interest in the wei
fare OF the common people? It IS
to be hoped that Others viii follow

NEAR ENOUGH TO TOUCH HIM
Also His Rescuers Have Handed Him
His First Solid Food.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. pa tele-
phone message to the Edison offices
here has been received as follows:
1--WE have had to abandon the project
and expect now to reach him over it.
The man is so near that the workmen
have actually touched him. Solid food
was handed him this morning. He says
he IS all right, and we expect to notify
you any time that he has been taken
out. A narrow passage Is being built
of timbers over the car and the man
will be carried out through that. The
whole camp is grouped about the
mouth of the tunnel TO watch him
when he comes out"
Hicks is in a small cavern, and
above him lie the car and heavy tim
bers that saved him from being
crushed to death by thousands Of tons
Of earth 1t was not possible to cut
through this debris, so a well had to
be sunk, a tunnel dug to point under
meath him, and an opening cut upward
from that position. Throughout the
many days that Hicks has been buried
alive his courag e had much to do with
keeping up the nerve Of his rescuers.
Through an improvised tube which
connected him with the top Of the
shaft he was given food and drink.
At one time he drank a gallon of milk
through the sixty feet Of pipe
When the rcscuers got close enough
to talk to Hicks they informed him
they would soon have him out He re-
piled: That's fine. We will all have
q picnic at dinner" The danger is that
a false move-a badly judged stroke
will bring thousands Of tons of debris
down on both rescuers and Hicks. This
makes progress very slow, as every
move has TO be thoroughly thought out
and every contingency must be provid-
ed for

words.
"Mr. Fraide talked very seriously

tone grew quicker, as though she fear

asked me to use my influence. l know

couldn't tell him that, and $3.50
promised"
"And have kept the promise?' Loder
spoke at random. Her manner and her
words had both affected him. There
was a sensation of unreality in his
brain.

upon him, and with it his scorn Of

to her. Then the futility of any dec

over what you say" he added after a
minutes wait. 81 suppose I can't say
more than that"
Their eyes met and she smiled a lit
tie.
II don't believe expected as much"
she said. Il think I'll go now. You
have been wonderfully patient" Again
she smiled slightly, at the same time
extending her hand. The gesture was
quite friendly, but in Loder's eyes it
held relief as well as friendliness, and
when their hands met he noticed that
her fingers barely brushed his.
he picked up her cloak and carried it
| across the room. AS he held the door
open he laid it quietly across her arm.

{ L. B. Hicks and six companions were
caught by the cave-in of a tunnel in
which they were at work at this place.
Since then continuous shifts Of miners
have been at work day and night =
every hour-in an attempt at rescue.
After working a few days communica-
ton was established with Hicks by
means Of a steel pipewhich was driven
through the debris seventy feet to
where he is confined. Through this

of one of them being visible by the
prisoner as he crouches, hardly able to
move his body.
Plenty of Danger and Heroism.
Every step of the work of rescue
which has gone on steadily day and
hight has been marked by cool dar-
ing on the part Of the workers and
by uncommon judgment on the part
Of those directing the operations. The
courage of Hicks, lying under a steel
car and covered by tons of rock and
twisted timbers; the faithfulness and
brave endurance Of DR. Stlnchfeld
who is present to give the prisoner
medical aid when he is released; the
fact that every man who has been
tunneling toward the buried man has
taken his life in his hands every sec
ond he has been underground these
things have combined to make general
interest in the work of rescue intense.
