The Cleveland Traction Wars was a political conflict in Cleveland, Ohio, which surrounded the question of whether or not municipal ownership would be applied to the city's streetcar system. It was a key issue during the mayoralty of Tom L. Johnson from 1901 to 1909.[1][2][3] This was one of many issues on which Mayor Johnson, a Democrat and a proponent of municipal ownership,[1][3] and Senator Mark Hanna, a Republican, came into conflict.[1][2][3]
