the new regime indicates that with

]. p. Carney, nOnpartisan candidate
for city treasurer. against whom the
socialists waged their hottest fght. ran
ahead Of his ticket nearly 10000.
Six aldermen-nt- Large, elected Tor
the full term Of four years, two elected
to flll vacancies. and the aldermen from
the wards, one from each Of the twen-
ty-f five wards, give good working ma
jority to the fused republicans and
democrats.
Under the fusion plan, the victorious
ticket is under the democratic deslgna :
tion but there is an even division ol
the candidates between the old parties.
Under the fusion plan. however. all
candidates are pledged to abstain from
party scttxlttes while serving the city
The socialists declare that they are
not thru in Mtenxnlsee. but that the de-
feat wass6nly the lCstcaif Effort OF
capitalism to, forget the national par
ties and combine to meet the advance
OF the people The socialists declare
they will continue to fight until they
carry the city even in the face OF the
enactment Of the majority election law
which will probably be the next de-
velopment in Wisconsin politics.
Socialists Had Hard Battle.
Two years ago bad city admins
tration and an old line two party con-
flict gave the socialists their chance to
secure control Of Milwaukee. and.
backed up by large non socialist vote
Of protest, they elected Seidel mayor.
The administration by the socialists
made one of it's most important con-
tributions to community we'll being in
the creation of bureau Of economy
and efficiency. conducting under muni-
cipal auspices work Of kind which
has elsewhere been undertaken by pri-
vate organizations.
Thru q dozen or more measures the
socialists sought to extend the func-
tions of the municipality. Little pro-
gress was made in this direction. how
ever, owing to limitations involved In
the charter of the city and the stat
utes Of the state.
The department Of public works was
reorganized. one man being placed in
charge in the place Of three. Efforts
to secure a. recognized expert for this
post were persistently made. but none
was to be had at the available salary.
The temporary appointee. socialist,
has. in the opinion of many impartial
men, done better than was to be ex-
pccted.
The returns OF Wisconsins primary
election which was held yesterday.
show that Woodrow Wilson is sure
winner over Champ Clark.
Milwaukee, April 3.-wisconsin has
declared overwhelmingly for LaFol-
lette. E. l.. Phillip. state manager FOR
the Taft campaign. declared after re-
ceIving scattering returns. that the
president would be fortunate II he re-
ceived three OF the delegation OF twen-
ty-six.
"we have made better showing
than four years ago, in spite Of the ad-
vance Of the LaFollette movement IN
other states" Mr.. Philip declared. 80
we feel as II we had demonstrated that
Wisconsin. at least. has not become
stronger for LaFollette than before.
That is the most we could hope"
The Wilson delegates appear to have
carried the state about as strongly as
the LaFollette republicans. and indi-
cations are Wilson will have at least
1 twenty delegates.
Only one county in five. on an aver
age is showing lead for either Taft
or Clark, and then by small figures.
