lowing:
Amy member opposing political G.

emancipation shall be expelled from
membership of the party. Political ac-
tlon shall be construed to mean parti-
cipation in elections FOR public office
and practical legislative administrative
work along the line of the Socialist

The clause is designated to answer
the argument that the Socialist partf
is drifting toward anarchism, and to
answer the charge that Socialists ap-
