| Abstract | In Wisconsin in many regional areas and local districts Americans of German descent were elected to various offices, but seldom to the highest office. Persons of German-American extraction are found in all of the major and most of the minor political parties, proposing issues and policies without recognition of the origin of their ancestors, but also being active without achieving much popular recognition. German Americans are not so likely to find satisfaction in participation in political affairs as they are in community and cultural groups. The benefits accruing to working people in the eight hour day, workers' compensation, safe work places, and retirement benefits are easily traced originally to German immigrants. Also the most notable record of German American participation in the political life in the state is that of clean municipal and county government. |
