KANSAS CITY DEMOCRATIC
Jest Elected Over Brown BY About
3,5oo-chieaso City Council Re-
n,ains Observation-Disclosures
Fight Close.

Milwaukee, Wis. April 3.With a
flood OF nonpartisan ballots. milwaukee,
voters yesterday swept from office the
city's widely known socialist admin
istration. installed a nonpartisan may
or, board OF aldermen and county board
OF supervisors, and probably eliminated
every national political party from par
ticipation in future municipal elections
in tho state OF Wisconsin. As "a result
OF the nonpartisan victory In the city
of Milwaukee the state Legislature. at
a special session soon to be convened,
is expected to pass distinctly non
partisan city election statute. The 30
cialists defeated such measure at the
last session OF the legislature. but to-
days result was said practically TO
have killed the socialist strength in
the state general assembly.
A Badfng, nonpartisan candidate for
mayor, defeated Mayor Emil Seidel. the
socialist incumbent, by a total vote of
43177 to 10000.
OF the So aldermen elected, 20 We're
nonpartisan and seven were socialists
With four socialist holdover aldermen
the new city council will be composed
OF 26 nonpartisan aldermen and II so
cialist aldermen.
From the head of the ticket. down
through the common council and coun-
" board OF supervisors. the voters
piled up equally large totals for candi-
dates on the nonpartisan ticket.
Tho present council is composed of
20 socialists and IA nonpartisan mem
bers. The next council will be larger,
through recent reapportionment and
the creation OF two new wards in the
city.
The widespread interest in the flght
to unseat the socialist administration
was indicated by the heavy total vote
of nearly 10000. The highest previous
total vote cast in q municipal election
was 59.484, at the time Mayor Scidcl
was elected two years ago.
