to show too great a preference for
a chosen few. These little threc-year-
olds are quite free in their games,
and often treat their royal hostess
with scant respect.

so late and long that she could not

Bading, Republican, was elected
mayor of Milwaukee on a Fusion tick
ct, on which his associates were ]. p.
Carney and Louis NJ. Kotecki, for
treasurer and city controller respec-
lively, both Democrats.
This marks the downfall of Social
ism by the biggest vote ever cast in
any election in Milwaukee. The Flu.
sion ticket, with eight aldermen-at.
large, and a majority Of the ward al.
dermen is carried into office by a
majority over the Socialists of over
$4,000.
All the aldermen, like the candi-
date for the three city Offices, are di-
vided between the Republicans and
the Democrats and each Is pledged
to take no part in party campaign
while in office, thus marking the end
of the national party as factor in
a Milwaukee election.
The result follows the most violent
city carIpaign in Milwaukee history,
as evidenced by the fact that 10000
''otes We're polled, out of total reg
istration of 10000, and as compared
with 10000 votes for the highest pre-
