Milwaukee. Milwaukee again
turned thumbs down on Socialism
yesterday with a majority of 5000
against the Socialist ex-mayor, Emil
Seidel, and the reelection of Dr. G. A.
Bading, who two years ago was elect
ed when the old parties merged and
dropped national party affiliations in
a common war against the. Social
Democrats.

this majority, in the face of a des-
perate effort by the Socialists to re-
gain control of the city, carries with
it the election of the entire Non
Partisan slate. The Non-Partisan
victory also includes the six alder
men-at-large, who take the places OF
six Socialists, elected four years ago.
In some of the strong Socialist
wards aldermen were chosen by the
Socialists, but in six of the twenty
three Socialists, candidates were elm
mated at the primary. The new coun-
Gil will be composed of 81 Non-Parti-
sans and six Socialists.

falling off in the city vote as compared
with the vote for mayor.
The Non-partisans elected with
Mayor Bading were: City comptroller,

P. Carney; attorney, w. H. Timlin, Jr
