In 1911 Gustav Stresemann (born 10 May 1878) gained both his Reichstag and town council seats, and in 1913 he left the Reichstag.
However, his support of expanded social-welfare programs did not sit well with some of the party's more conservative members, and he lost his post in the party's executive committee in 1912. Later that year he lost both his Reichstag and town council seats.
