Milwaukee, April S.-Milwauro
again turned thumbs down on socia
ism yesterday with a majority Of 0o
against the Socialist ex-mayor Fmi
Seidel, and the reelection of DR. q
Bading, who two years ago was elect
ed when the old parties merged an,
dropped national party affiliations /,
a common war against the Social
Democrats.
The election of Mayor Bading h,
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-Partisau
victory also includes the six alder
men-at-large, who take the places q
six Socialists, elected four years ago

wards aldermen were chosen by the
Socialists, but In six of the twentyI
three Socialists, candidates were elm,
mated at the primary The new coun.
Gil will be composed of 81 Non-Partil
sans and six Socialists.
Non-Partisan Judge Chosen.
One of the most dubious problems
Of the Non-Partisans was the election
Of a circuit Judge, W. J. Turner, tho
sitting circuit judge, being candidate
against Socialist. The returns show
that Turner was elected, the heavy
Non-Partisan vote in the county QUIT
side Milwaukee making up for slight
falling of 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.l
