So on today's lead post, we find this double-bill image. The V-P candidate for the Socialist Party, Emil Seidel, was Mayor of Milwaukee, WI. (He was followed by two other Socialists, the brothers Carl & Frank Zeidler.. FWIW, all three ran very clean governments.)

2 comments:
Two corrections:
1) Dan Hoan was the long-time Socialist mayor of Milwaukee (1916-1940)
2) Carl Zeidler was not a Socialist, but a Democrat. His tenure was brief, as he left office to join the Navy. Killed in action in December 1942.
Dave, thanks for the correction. Seidel preceded Hoan. Interesting that Carl was a (D) and his brother Frank was a (S)....
