Politically, Mr. Fleischmann has affiliated with the Republican party since attaining his majority, but despite the con sistency of his partisanship, a public-spirited recognition of his capacity for the high office to which he was elected on April 2, 1900, rallied to his support the conservative business element irrespective of political creeds. At the municipal election held in April, 1903, Mr. F leischmann was re-elected mayor by the largest plurality ever given a candidate for that office. His administration during the four years of his incumbency in office has been such as to challenge universal admiration. His pro gressive ideas, his unquestioned executive ability, his breadth of mind and warmth of heart have earned for him popularity to a degree never before enjoyed by any mayor of Cincinnati. Mr. Fleischmann is a governor of the Queen City club, director of the Phoenix club, and member of the Commercial club, and the Riding club, of Cincinnati; the New York Yacht and the Atlantic Yacht clubs, of New York; a thirty-second degree Mason, an Elk, Cincinnati Lodge No. 5, and a Knight of Pythias. He has also been the recipient of many civic honors, a fact which is attributed to the ardent interest which he has taken in the city of Cincinnati and its progress. In yachting he takes a lively interest, as is witnessed by his ownership of the magnificent floating palace, Hiawatha. Mr. Fleischmann was married on April 12, 1893, to Miss Lilly Ackerland, of Cincinnati, and three children have been born to them, Louise, Charles, and Julius Fleischmann, Jr.
