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

of city employes who were not mem
bers of their party. 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."

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.
