McCarthy; La Follette; the Milwaukee "sewer Socialists"
The state tree is the sugar maple, the state song is "On Wisconsin", the state flower is the wood violet, the state bird is the American [[robin]], the state animal is the [[badger]], the state [[fossil]] is the [[trilobite]], and the state fish is the [[muskellunge]].

Wisconsin cannot be stereotyped politically. It is often associated with the name of anti-communist crusader [[Joseph McCarthy]], but is equally tied to that of Robert M. La Follette and his Progressive Party. Frank Zeidler, the Mayor of Milwaukee from 1948-1960 was the last in a string of twelve socialist mayors of Milwaukee, whose emphasis on the basics of municipal service led them to be called "sewer Socialists."<ref>[http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/turningpoints/tp-043/?action=more_essay Milwaukee Sewer Socialism], Wisconsin State Historical Association]</ref>
