  • "Building the Social Democratic Party," by Emil Seidel
    Building the Social Democratic Party by Emil Seidel An excerpt from Part III of the memoir Thy Kingdom Come: Sketches from My Life (1944), pp. 79-83; 86-87. Manuscript at the Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison. Our party was growing and we, including myself, were grow- ing with it. From the Socialist Vereinigung [Association] I trans- ferred to Branch 1 [of the Social Democratic Party of America], organized by Eugene V. Debs. It was our first English-speaking branch in Milwaukee. We met in the Ethical Hall on Jefferson Street. Here I got to know Charley Whitnall, Howard Tuttle, Thomas C.P. Myers, Frederic Heath, Eugene Rooney, Nick Schwinn, and other Socialists of more or less purely native stock. The Vereinigung having served its purpose, disbanded. Most of its members joined their respective Ward branches; the re- mainder reorganized the German-language branch. Eventually, we had a dozen or more such foreign language branches in Mil- waukee County, all of them affiliated nationally and having a weekly paper. The Jewish comrades maintained even a daily — the Forwarts. These foreign language Socialists counted among our most loyal comrades and were the hardest workers for our cause — the backbone of the bundle brigade. We aimed to maintain a local branch in every ward. Among the earliest, we had enough signatures to apply for a 20th Ward charter. I transferred my membership from Branch 1 to Branch 20. Many of the charter members have crossed the great divide but the branch they started lives on to continue their work. 1 And there was work to be done.

  • The Fight for Freedom: Campaign Speech at Pabst Park, Milwaukee (July 21, 1912)
    The Fight for Freedom: Campaign Speech at Pabst Park, Milwaukee (July 21, 1912) Friends, fellow socialists, and fellow workers:— The existing order of things is breaking down. The great forces un- derlying society are steadily at work. The old order has had its day and all the signs point to an impending change. Society is at once being de- stroyed and recreated. The struggle in which we are engaged today is a struggle of econom- ic classes. The supremacy is now held by the capitalist class, who are combined in trusts and control the powers of government. The middle class is struggling desperately to hold its ground against the inroads of its trustified and triumphant competitors. This war between the great capitalists who are organized in trusts and fortified by the powers of government and the smaller capitalists who constitute the middle class, is one of extermination. The fittest, that is to say the most powerful, will survive. This war gives rise to a variety of issues of which the tariff is the principal one, and these issues are de- fined in the platforms of the Republican and Democratic parties. With this war between capitalists for supremacy in their own class and the issues arising from it, the working class have nothing to do, and if they are foolish enough to allow themselves to be drawn into these bat- tles of their masters, as they have so often done in the past, they must continue to suffer the consequences of their folly. Let us clearly recognize the forces that are undermining both of the old capitalist parties, creating a new issue, and driving the working class into a party of their own to do battle with their oppressors in the struggle for existence.

  • 2013-2014 Wisconsin Blue Book
    STATISTICS: HISTORY 677 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.

  • The Saga of a Landslide Reelection, Baby Bonds, and a Recall: Mayor Daniel W
    e.polis Volume V, Fall/Winter 2012 1 The Saga of a Landslide Reelection, Baby Bonds, and a Recall: Mayor Daniel W. Hoan 1932-1933 Scott R. Letteney e.polis Volume V, Fall/Winter 2012 2 INTRODUCTION In April 1933, rumors of an impending effort to recall the mayor of Milwaukee spread around Milwaukee City Hall.1 While the purported motivations driving the nascent attempt to unseat Mayor Daniel W. Hoan included his inability to push a change to the City tax code through the Common Council, deteriorating conditions in City Hall, and pressure from local taxpayer organizations, the real problem may have been the depths in which Milwaukee found itself during the Great Depression. According to a letter sent to him by the Fifteenth Ward Taxpayers’ Club, during the depression Mayor Hoan failed to show “any leadership that would tend to lessen the burden of the hard-pressed citizens of Milwaukee.”2 Daniel Webster Hoan was elected mayor of the City of Milwaukee in 1916 after having served as Milwaukee’s City Attorney for six years. Hoan was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and educated at the University of Wisconsin and the Kent College of Law. He was admitted to practice law in Wisconsin in 1907. He served as a labor attorney until he was elected Milwaukee City Attorney in 1910.3 Hoan had been elected City Attorney, as part of a veritable sweep of the election by members of the Socialist Party, with Emil Seidel at the head of the ticket. Seidel was the first of three Socialist mayors that would serve the City of Milwaukee over the next half- century.

  • Indiana Magazine of History an Improvement in the Bill but Finally Signed It
    INDIANA MAGAZINEOF HISTORY VOL. XVI SEPTEMBER, 1920 No. 3 The Progressive Party In Indiana By CARLPAINTER, A. M. The progressive movement in Indiana was simply a com- ponent part of the larger movement throughout the nation. It was broader than any political party, and embodied many fundamental measures and principles of political, social and economic reforms common to the plat-forms of parties for the preceding half century. The Republican party at its inception was prophetic of progressiveism. It undertook to introduce positive economic and social functions into the American gov- ernment.1 However, after a long lease of power, during which its supremacy was never seriously disputed, corrupt prac- tices had crept in. For some time there had been Republicans who stood for a change in their party’s leadership. These men wanted it to be more responsive to the will of the people at all times. There was a feeling that the government with its privileges belonged to those who best knew how to manage votes and voters. Corruption in state and local politics grew. There was little public protest. A long period of indifferentism followed. The old story of the man who was enraged be- czuse a corruptionist was sure to be elected mayor, yet stayed away from the polls because he had an engagement to go quail hunting, illustrates the attitude of many. Under such circumstances it became possible for political bosses to control elections in their own interests. Some of the earlier progressive Republicans were Robert &I.La Follette of Wisconsin who was defeated as a candidate for governor of that state in 1894.

  • Politics in Play: Socialism, Free Speech, and Social Centers In
    Milwaukee Public Schools Department of Recreation and Community Services Pool, checkers, and dominoes were among the games available to visitors to the quiet game room at the 4th Street Social Center. POLITICS IN PLAY Socialism, Free Speech,and SocialCenters in Milwaukee By Elizabeth Jozwiak mil Seidel, the workingman and Socialist elected mayor of Milwaukee in April 1910, was generally known as a modest individual, largely due to his soft-spoken voice and small physical stature. Although E his demeanor did not diminish the power of Seidel’s intelligence or earnestness when running the city, his style of public speaking was not prone to the incendiary, like many of his fellow Socialist politicians, notably Victor Berger. It was with some surprise then that members of the Milwaukee Ministerial Association found themselves on the receiving end of a fiery address by Seidel the same year he was elected. The topic was the chil- dren of the city and the future that they faced. Seidel believed that the problems facing the city’s youth were so serious that he confronted the group and challenged them to put aside their differences and recognize the level of the threat. “While you are fighting for some theological dogma, our boys and girls are going to hell!”1 These were strong words for a group of clerics to hear, especially from the usually unassuming Seidel. But the mayor had cause for concern. From 1889 to 1904 Milwaukee had invested over $2 million in public schooling in response to the population increases that came with late nine- teenth-century immigration.

Debs Campaign in the 1912 Election }un Furuya Why Is There No Socialism in the United States.;; In spite of this famous book-form question posed by Werner Sombart in 1906, America in the Progressive Era (1901-1917) witnessed an indigenous, if not so strong but never negligible, socialist party. To Sombart's question many historians answered by pointing out endemic American conditions: the lack of a firm class-structure because of the absence of a feudal tradition, the great social mobility and relatively high wages due to an abundance of natural resources and shortage of labor force, and the existence of two major parties, which have persistently preempted reform appeals of various third parties. These conditions, no doubt, militated against socialists in America, but were never discouraging enough for them to give up all their hope of revolu­ tionizing America. On the contrary, the country around the turn of the century seemed to them a very fertile ground for socialism. By that time, America had experienced a tremendous capitalist growth accompanied with various industrial evils.' The gap between the rich and the poor was widening, as the movement toward concentration of control in industry was advancing.
