The ELECTION

hE tltGIlUN
About the only excitement aroused
in the municipal political campaign
that ended Tuesday was an apparently
justified charge of platform stealing"
a new offense,
The most hard fought contest was
that of alderman in the Third ward
where the "non-partisans" with Rud-
oph Kielsmeier as their candidate were
determined to oust socialist Vogel
from the council Mr.. Kielsmeier had
prepared statement of his principles
in about 250 words. In some manner,
it was alleged, the socialist daily, or
shall we say the daily paper run and
edited by socialists, got possession of
Mr.. Kielsmeier's platform before he
sent it out and, after changing it from
singular to plural, ran it verbatim over
the names of their candidates on full
page of their paper. The explosion
was deafening. The chances are that
the amateur editors did not know
where the copy came from, but it was
a fine chance for the Kiclsmeier sup
porterS which they naturally did not
overlook and they rang the changes up
and down on the crime of platform
stealing,
Frank Miller published a statement
asking friends not to vote for him as
school commissioner as he can no
longer serve and would not, if elected.
The Socialists elected five of their
candidates for alderman on Tuesday
and four supervisors.
Ralph Plumb, William Tech and
Norman Ziglnski were elected school
commissioners.
