The widespread interest in the fight
in Milwaukee to GUST the Socialists
was indicated by the heavy total vote
of approximately 10000.
Dr. G. A. Bnding, nonpartisan candi-
date for mayor defeated Mayor Seidel,
Socialist incumbent by vote of 43O64
to 10000.
OF the thirty-three aldermen elected
twenty-six were non-partisan and seven
were Socialists. With four Socialist hold
over aldermen, the new city council
will be composed of twenty-six non
partisan aldermen and eleven Socialist
aldermen.
Among supposed causes for the de-
feat OF IL 3 Socialist adv2icist~tion
were high taxvs, charges of extravag-
ance and allegations that several Lead
ing officials had made blunders in the
administration of their offices
Nonpartisan leaders also charged
that Mayor Siedel had created numer-
Gus positions for Socialists, some of
whom were brought into Milwaukee
from other states. DR.. Bading, the
mayor-elect, when asked for a state
ment said:
''Once more Milwaukee stands in the
eyes of the world redeemed, an Ameri-
can city, believing in the American
Constitution and the American Govern
ment.
eve have thrown OF the disgrace
under which we have suffered for the
last two years and have made it appar-
ent TO the world that Milwaukee people
are loyal Americans and not Socialists
or anarchists"
Although far from complete returns
from nearly all of the counties in the
state show that Senator LaFollette de-
feated President Taft on the Repub-
lican ticket and Woodrow Wilson won
from Champ Clark in the state presi-
dental preference primary.
In Milwaukee county La Follette's S
vote ran over 10000 ahead of Taft's,
both the Fourth and Fifth districts
giving him n plurality of about 5000
each.
In Manitowoc county in twenty-one
precincts La Toilette leads Taft LOIS
to 504 Wilson leads Clark by small
majority. Manitowoc and Two Rivers
went for Clark
Incomplete returns from other coun-
ties indicate Wilson ran about 2 to /
ahead of Clark.
