Carries Entire Ticket to
Victory.
BAD DEFEAT FOR SOCIALISTS
AntlSaIoon Forces Are Winners In
Many of the Smaller Wisconsin
Towns But Large Cities GEN
orally Go ''Wet."


Milwaukee, April S.-Milwaukee
again turned thumbs down on Social
ism yesterday with 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
common war against the Social
Democrats.
The election of Mayor Badins; by
this majority, in the face of des-
perate effort by the Socialists to re-
gain control OF the city, carries with
it the election of the entire Nom
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 we're elm
mated at the primary. The new ooun-
ell will be composed of 81 Non-Parti-
sans and six Socialists.
Non-Partsan Judge Chosen.
One of the most dubious problems
of the Non-Partisans was the election
of circuit judge, w. ]. Turner, the
sitting circuit judge, being a candidate
against Socialist The returns show
that Turner was elected, the heavy
Non-Partisan vote in the county out
side Milwaukee making up for slight
| falling off in the city vote as compared
with the vote for mayor.
The Non-partisans elected with
Mayor Bading were: City comptroller,
Louis p Kotecki; treasurer, Joseph
P. Carney attorney, w. H. Timlin, Jr.
Elections In State.
The elections in the state were
chiefly marked by fights on the license
question, as the new Non-Partisan law
prevents tIe appearance of party can
didates on municipal tickets. The
"drys" gained considerable ground,
but most of the gairs were in country
precincts, and the larger cities
showed no change in policy.

show the following to have voted in
favor of license:
Madison, GAINESVILLE. Beloit, Palmy-
ra, Mauston, Darlington, Boyceville,
Downing, Wheeler, Manawa, Shawano,
Westcott, Dodgeville, Ridgeway, Cobb,
Linden, Hollandale and Fort Atkin-
son.

caster, Montfort, Miflin, Rewey, Black
