“Last American Socialist”?
Hmmmm, the Wisconsin Historical Society is calling Frank Zeidler, former mayor of Milwaukee, the "Last American Socialist"? I know a few dozen living and breathing Socialists right here in Madison (and Chicago, and San Francisco, etc., etc.) who might take issue with that title.
And I suppose a city of 55,000 isn’t quite as "major" as Milwaukee, but Santa Cruz, California, has elected a Socialist (Michael Rotkin) to the post of mayor several times in recent history…
