MILWAUKEE, GOES
ANT|-S0C|ALIST
" Reds Lsse City by Biggest
Vote Ever Cast in
Any Election.
"AMERICAN ONCE MORE"

Milwaukee, April 2-Dr. Gerhard A
Bading, Republican. was today elected
mayor OF Milwaukee on a fusion ticket
on which his associates were ]. P. ar
ney and Louis NJ. Kotecki for treasurer
and city controller, respectively, both
Democrats. This marks the downfall of
Socialism by the biggest vote ever cast
in any election in Milwaukee. The fusion
ticket, with eight aldermen at large and
majority OF the ward aldermen is car
ried into office by a majority over the
Socialists Of more than 1900.
All of the aldermen. like the candi-
dates for the three city ofics. are dis
tributed between the Republicans and
Democrats and each is pledged to take
70 part in a party campaign while in
office, thus marking the end of the
National party as a factor in a Mil
Waukee election.
The result was the most violent city
campaign in Milwaukee's history, as evil
denced by tn fact that $1,000 votes were
polled out Of a total registration of
5000, and as compared with 5000 votes
for the highest previous record of any
election.
The issue OF the campaign was largely
and stripes injected as an issue by SEN
sational occurrences in the campaign.
Saturday night the Socialists tried to
break up a fusion meeting attended by
1000 excited fusionists, by walking out
noisily when Representative Cary raised
an American nag. The following night,
at the end of the Socialist campaign, a
visiting speaker declared that Lincoln
and Jefferson were not patriots. and the
anti-Socialist press retorted to these
demonstrations by appearing with the
slogan: "Americanism VS.. Socialism
American Flag Used.
In the days of Moses. history says that
the Jews marked their gates to warn
away the angel Of death that visited the
homes of the Egyptians. This morning
the Hebrew story was duplicated in this
city by the display of thousands of
American flags, to label the houses where
nonpartisans lived. The Socialist cam
paign badge was a tiny red flag and the
city was infiamed by the defining of the
issue.
1T means that Milwaukee is no longer
a slur on Americanism." declared the
fusion campaign manager, Walter Shintz,
tonight. 1T means Milwaukee, is Amer

House yesterday afternoon and made his
sentiments public.
The thing that seems most remarkable

he said, ''is the change of sentiment
which has been generally noted and dis
cussed. Within ten days after President
Taft had made his Toledo speech the
business men and professional men in
our section of Ohio had practically with
out exception turned to Taft. They con-

G|sT BLAIR ENTERS
CONGRESS RACE
Montgomery County Citizens
Name Him as Candidate
from Sixth District.
MOVE is NONPARTISAN

At largely attended nonpartisan
meeting held at Silver Spring, Md. last
night the residents OF Montgomery
County announced their determination of
seeing that the next Congressional Rep
resentative from the Sixth district should
come from their county. and named Gist
Blair. a well-known attorney practicing
In this city, as their candidate.
Both Parties Represented.
The meeting was attended by Repub-
licans and Democrats alike. Edward w.
Byrnes. who presided at the meeting.
presented u series OF resolutions which
were unanimously ADOPTED. Inc resoIu-
tions expressed as the desire OF all pres
ent that Montgomery County have the
right to name the next representative,
and that Mr.. Blair. who, bys reason OF
his eminent qualifications, his fidelity TO
the interest OF the county. his knowledge
and experience" was their choice as
candidate.
In his address replying to these reso-
lutions Mr.. Blair assailed the policy of
peanut politics." which he said had en-
tered much into the scheme of things OF
recent years. Public men, he declared,
should be brought back to the under
standing that the people are masters
and they are chosen to serve.
He said in part:
Public men in America have drifted
away from their masters who are the
people. They are Indifferent and look
upon their Offices more as perquisites
than as an employment. by the people,
to do certain business for them which
they are not able TO do for themselves.
This homely. simple. old-fashioned way
of looking at our government is one
of the striking contrasts between the
present day and the early days in our
republic.
