Hoan, Daniel Webster

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.03 sec.

Hoan, Daniel Webster (1881–1961)

US politician and lawyer. A convinced socialist, he was Milwaukee's city attorney 1911–17 and then mayor 1917–41. In the longest continuous socialist administration in US history, he enacted progressive changes, including the building of low-cost housing units called Garden Homes. In 1944 he left the Socialist Party, and as a Democrat he ran unsuccessfully for governor (1944, 1946), mayor (1948), and the US Senate (1952).

Born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, he left school early and worked as a cook before he resumed his education and became a lawyer in 1908.
