City Should Be Governed-Wants to
Make the Children Happy-Says
Mayor Gaynor of New York Has Best
Governed Police.

the socialist ticket, bears upon his
shoulders burden which will either
set socialism ahead a score of years
IN America, or retard it for that length
of time. Mayor Seidel has compiled
for the press some of his views. He
says:
Lots of people have a mistaken
idea of socialism. They think that
all leaders of this party should rant
and rave and attempt some kind of
revolution. This is nonsense of the
rankest kind. For instance, Mayor
Gaynor of New York is also social
list at heart, although he would not ad-
NIT it, yet 1 dare say he considers
himself one of the most conservative
executives in America.
Praises Mayor Gaynor.
''To my mind, one of the biggest
things Mayor Gaynor has accomplished
is the abolition of the useless combi-
nations that eat up the people IS money
without doing them any good. 1 wish
L could reform the Milwaukee police
force the way Mayor Gaynor has re-
formed the New York police force; in
fact, socialist as I am, Mayor Gaynor
has done many things which / intend
to initiate in my chair if can. When

rather have it said of me that Emil
Seidel was the children s friend; that
he had made children happy and
healthy and tried to give them a good
start in life, than / would to be called
the greatest mayor in America.

want the city to get every cent that is

city for any one class Of people. The

he is affiliated with. One of my experts
dug up an old ordinance which gave
the city authority TO enforce all health
ordinances against public utility com
