Abstract: Daniel Webster Hoan served as Mayor of Milwaukee form 1916 to 1940. He was

born on March 31, 1881 in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He left school in the sixth grade but worked

as a cook to finance his education at the University of Wisconsin, where he earned a Bachelor of

Arts in 1905. Hoan moved to Chicago after his graduation and attended Kent College, earning

his Law degree in 1908. In 1909 he married his first wife, Agnes Bernice Magner. They had

two children, Daniel Webster Jr. and Agnes. In 1944, after his first wife’s death, he married

Gladys Arthur Townsend.

Hoan was recruited by local Socialists to Milwaukee in 1908. Working as a labor lawyer he

drafted the nation’s first workmen’s compensation law in 1911. Hoan became city attorney in

1910, and he was reelected in 1914. In 1916, Hoan beat incumbent Mayor Gerhard A.

Bading. Daniel Hoan was reelected six times, until in 1940 he was defeated by Carl F. Zeidler.

Hoan emphasized his Socialist party alliance, but he was more interested in improving services

and government, so-called “sewer socialism”, than political theory. Hoan forged an enviable

record, eliminating graft, improving the city’s health and safety, supporting harbor improvement

and reducing debt. Hoan supported governmentally subscribed housing, municipal marketing of

foodstuffs to combat profiteering during the depression, a minimum wage for city employees and

the right to strike.

After his defeat in 1940, Hoan left the Socialist party and in 1944 became a Democrat, running

unsuccessfully for governor in 1944 and 1946 and for Congress in 1948. After several strokes,

Daniel Hoan died on June 11, 1961 at the age of eighty.

Scope and Content: The collection covers Hoan’s entire political life, but the majority of the

material is between the years 1916 and 1940 when Hoan held office as a Socialist Mayor of

Milwaukee. The material is arranged by subject matter and extensively cross referenced with

appropriate dates provided.

While the collection covers every aspect of Hoan’s life and political career, there are some

sections of particular interest. Approximately five cubic feet of material constitutes the general

correspondence files which include both professional and personal letters. Campaign material

consists of two cubic feet as does material concerning the Socialist Democratic Party of which

Hoan was a prominent member. Because of Hoan’s special interest in the Great Lakes and St.

Lawrence Seaway, there is a sizable body of material on this subject and related matters, such as

the Chicago water diversion controversy. Other areas of particular interest are the U.S. Mayor’s

Conference, Housing (especially concerning the Garden Homes project), the Pan American

Conferences, the Americans for Democratic Action Society, World War I, and City Attorney’s

Office, a position which Hoan held prior to becoming Mayor.

The collection also includes correspondence files with such individuals as Victor L. Berger,

Thomas Duncan, William T. Evjue, Harold Ickes, Walter Kohler, and the La Follette family. In

addition to the manuscript material, there is also a large newspaper clipping file, as well as an

extensive collection of pamphlets which Hoan collection, which is filed elsewhere.
