Milwaukee History on Front Page of Ace!!

The Ace of Spades blog is not just "a blog"--it is a pretty good news source and it respects the brains of its readers.

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.)

    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)....
