Milwaukee WITH SOCIALISTS Political Writer Visiting in West Says Discontent Is Growing. PARTY POLITICS RULE CITY Civil 6ervloe Disregarded and Old Men In Department Are Ousted by vr Regime Judicial Election Foretells Defeat. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug. 19. (Spe cial.) "Contrary to general belief out side bf Wisconsin, the city of Mllwau- :a;. kee la not a socialistic municipality," declared Frank B. Rodger, a political writer of that state, who was In Van couver yesterday. "The voters of Milwaukee turned to the Socialistic party, not to Socialism, for relief from conditions existing Im mediately prior to April, 1910. Elec tions In recent years have shown that the electorate Is divided almost evenly among the Democrats. Republicans and Socialists. "After eight years of the administra tion of David S. Rose, the Democratic Mayor, the electors turned to Sherburn M. Becker, the boy wonder of the Re publican party, but within a few weeks Becker earned the cognomen of 'False Alarm Becker.' The son of rich par ents, he sought the Mayor's office mere ly for amusement. He soon tired of the plaything and left the job of Mayor shift for Itself. Disappointed In Beck er, the electors turned to Dave Rose again. Rose Administration Dad. "But their restlessness was not satis fied with the change back to the for mer administration. Rose added to this feeling by being absent from the city most of the time. His return after an absence of several months, on the night before the election, waa considered an Insult by the electorate, and. practically beat Schoenecker, who was the Demo cratic nominee. The people then voted the Socialist ticket. "During the first year of Socialist rule In Milwaukee the city saw poli tics played as never before In that city. Assuming that an overwhelming plu rality of the voters were believers In Socialism, the leaders went ahead re gardless of the wishes and rights of non -Socialists. "In their campaign the Socialists had promised to bust the trusts and lower the price of commodities an evident Impossibility, as every thinking person realised. Of course the Socialist ad ministration was as powerless to break the anthracite coal combine as has been the National government. "The Socialists promised to do many other things Impossible under the state charter from the Legislature. Among the things promised the voters to catch votes were municipal coal yards, mu nicipal wood yards, municipal Ice plants and municipal slaughterhouses. Bills amending the charter to permit the carrying out of those enterprises were not passed by the 'Legislature, but a bill was passed covering the en tire field. Home Ilule Is Tried. "Uunder the new law Milwaukee haa been given what Is commonly known as home rule. Py petition or by act of the Common Council without pell tlon a special election may be called to vote on charter amendments. The So cialists propose to have the test made of the proposed municipal Ice plant. "But the real test probably will come on the question of non-partisan elec tion. Having- approximately one-third of the voting strength In Milwaukee, the Socialists are bitterly opposed to ,the non-partisan election Idea because It would mean 'election by majority In stead of 'by-plurality and would spell defeat for the Socialist party. Steps already have been taken by anti-So-clalista to call a non-partisan election. "If they are successful In obtaining a non-partisan election the Socialists will be so badly beaten at the next mu nicipal election that It will be difficult to nnd the pieces. But If the plurality rule governs, the political fight In Mil waukee will be one of the" hottest ever seen in the Middle West, The So cialist leaders feel that the fight will mean life or death for them. "The majority of the residents of Milwaukee are not Socialists, and they have Judged the Socialist administra tion and found it wanting. (State Legislature Repeals. "Civil service meant nothing to the Socialists. They atopped at nothing to put out of office members of other parties to find room for their com rades. Shortly after coming; Into power the party obtained, an opinion from the City Attorney that civil service did not apply to the department of publlo works, through which all large mu nicipal expenditures are made. "With a stroke of the pen the So cialists wiped out civil service as to that Important department. When the Legislature met It made civil service again apply, to tha department of pub liTfT lic works so positively that the So cialists were powerless in the face of . v. law hut thev hjiH demonstrat- j Kt,KlliW th.fp Intentions to find !

Attempts navo been made to find excuses. For ex ample, the City Electrician was dis charged because he hung- on the City Hall tower electric lights bidding the convention of Oddfellows welcome to the city. t , "Last April at the Judicial and School Board election, the Socialists received a Jolt which made them appreciate ful ly tne laci inai ihuubhuub " for their candidates at the municipal election had not accepted the doctrine of Socialism. Until that time they had run the city to suit their own pur poses, without regard to the wishes of the electorate. Party Takes Warning. "But when the votes were counted at the Judicial election It was found that the Socialist vote had fallen off 12,000 a big drop for a political party in a city with only a trifle more than 60. 000 voters. Although the Socialists had made a clean sweep Just 12 months earlier they failed at the last election to put In office a single Socialist can didate. The Socialist leaders tried to make light of the situation by saying It was only a bye-election but they began the very next day their cam paign for the election next April and gave up their policy of Ignoring all but Socialists. "The failure of Socialist rule the first year was due not only to the assump tion that the majority of the electors were Socialists, but to the party meth ods of secrecy and lack of men of cal iber to put through the party pro gramme. A decided reform was made bv the new administration In budget making. The work was done In the open and every detail was given care ful consideration. As a result Mil waukee has made a start that will re sult eventually In a model budget. "But In nearly everything else the Socialists worked behind closed doors. The public was not considered until the party leaders had formulated their plans in secret caucuses and were ready to go through' the formality of putting them Into effect. As a result of that policy the party has made blunder af ter blunder In the carrying out of sim ple governmental functions. Unless they accomplish something of Import ance within the next six months the electors next April will make another change." REFORM IS WESTS IDEA YOCTHFCIj PRISOXKRS TO BE HELPED TO HELP SELVES. Purchase of Land at Penitentiary Makes It Possible to Keep First Offenders Separate. SALEM, Or.. Aug. 19. (Special. V-Gov--r rwi - wat'a ni,n for a reformatory In connection with the State Penitentiary. which he announced In a tentative way several weeks ago, la likely to be real ised through the recent purchase of an additional 16 acres of land at the Peni tentiary from A. A. Burton. This land was bought with the proceeds from the prison brick foundry. The plan of the Gornor Is to pro vide a place of detention for those young criminals who are not hardened and who, perhaps, have never been sent to a penitentiary before, men between the ages of 21 and 30 years, with compara tively good records. They will be sent here to be kept away from the environ ment of the prison proper. While he has not definitely worked out all his plsns In this connection. It Is probable that the Governor will en ,n hMlM the entire reformatory without an appropriation. Penitentiary brick, and penitentiary laoor win usuic largely in Its construction. .m Armlv Imnressed with the idea that such a reformatory will go a long way toward furthering my pian oi ac tually reforming the criminals," said the Governor today. "Men can go to this reformatory and. by being model pris oners, will escape the bdlum of having ever actually been in the State Peni tentiary. My plana are by no means worked out yet. but rhope to bring them to a successful culmination." It is probable that further efforts to ward teaching prisoners useful occupa tions will be attempted when the re formatory project Is worked out. RAILWAY TO STRING WIRES O.-W.
