After the Assembly
------------------

In 1912, his Assembly district had been merged with part of that represented by fellow Socialist [James Vint](/wiki/James_Vint "James Vint"). Rather than run against Vint (who won re\-election) he ran for the [Wisconsin State Senate](/wiki/Wisconsin_State_Senate "Wisconsin State Senate"), losing to Democrat [Alexander E. Martin](/wiki/Alexander_E._Martin "Alexander E. Martin") by a narrow margin in a five\-way race. After his loss, he relinquished his union and party responsibilities to devote his time to his cigar business, but retained his Socialist and labor zeal.

In 1916 he ran again for the Assembly's 14th Milwaukee County district, losing by 29 votes to Democrat [Thomas Szewczykowski](/wiki/Thomas_Szewczykowski "Thomas Szewczykowski").[*The Wisconsin blue book, 1917* Madison: Democrat Printing Co., State Printer, 1917; pp. 297, 491](http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/WI.WIBlueBk1917)

He served on the State Council of Defense (chairman of its labor committee) during [World War I](/wiki/World_War_I "World War I"), and on the board of trustees of the [Milwaukee County](/wiki/Milwaukee_County%2C_Wisconsin "Milwaukee County, Wisconsin") Institutions (1921–1929\). He died in Milwaukee on June 16, 1929\. His papers are in the collections of the Wisconsin Historical Society.
