Milwaukee Sees Red. During most of his career, Mayor Hoan's Socialist ideas have hardly furnished a campaign issue. But since 1932, with a Socialist-controlled Council and a Socialist city attorney also in power, Milwaukee has begun to see Red. Since Depression, say his opponents, Dan Hoan has swung left. Before, they cry, he only talked Socialism; now he wants to put it into practice. That cry had by last week heated Milwaukee to its highest political fever in 20 years, brought out a record registration...
Many a citizen who has never heard of Daniel Webster Hoan and his municipal achievements knows Milwaukee as a great brewing town, home of Pabst, Blatz, Miller and of Schlitz, "The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous." The current Socialist campaign slogan: KEEP MILWAUKEE FAMOUS...

When Mr. Olson threatened to organize a delegation to the Democratic National Convention pledged...
...Johnson men, applied for the necessary papers, circulated nominating petitions, set to work on a slate of delegates. Not until the last day did Senator Borah decide. That he could not spare two weeks to stump California was the reason he gave for not filing. Perhaps a shortage of campaign money helped him make up his mind, and he may have listened to advisers who told him that if he entered in California he might only split the anti-Hoover vote and run last in a field of three. With Borah out, that left California Republicans a choice next month...
