Turners and Social Democrats in Milwaukee

Dr. Ueberhorst was fascinated at the number of Socialist mayors in 20th century Milwaukee. He devotes a chapter to the "Sewer Socialist" group in the common council with Mayor Emil Seidel, 1910-1912. Mayor Daniel Hoan held office through the difrficult years 1916-1949. Mayor Frank Zeidler calmed various immigrant waves 1948-1960. Turner Hall was an important site for them all.
