TheSocialistPar ty
and
Why Left It

In the spring election of 1919 Some
OF the party nominees In Seatth
were given vote OF 81 900 in this
city. Many mouthers in the party.
who had never been heard tell OF
before. became very officious and
popular because OF their ability to
talk anarchy upon the street corners
OF this city under the banners OF the
Socialist Party and under the sanc-
ton OF Tar. who had grown UP in
the office OF the state secretary since
1909. The party constitution was
disregRrded. and party officials soon
entered into intrigue and conspiracy
50 as TO remain in control OF the
party organization. AS usual. the
blatherskite type were listened to-
and followed. In 1919 and 1916

officials in Pierce county accepssl]

members and managers upx

vote. The guilty ones were openly
charged and brought to trial for
their reasonable offcnse and
bribery. Their perfidy was not de
MED. but was admitted and testified
TO by their own witnesses and CO
horts. Tho state executive commit
tee exonerated the graft. In fact.
they and many members were out
spoken in their sanction of the be-
trayal OF the prestige and confidenco
OF the party membership.
Before the above exposure and
trial the state. organization had So
weakened the party by corrupt prao
tice that the party was being de-
serted. and a request was made By
the state party organization 10 the
national party for an investigation.
A committee was appointed by the
national party 10 come to this state
and investigate, after which report
was made by tho investigating COM
mittee to the national committee Of
the party. This report showed so
much corruption in this state that II
was ordered suppressed. and even the
evidence was retained and destroyed
by the national party, notwithstand-
ing that much OF IL was my OWL. pesax
sonal property. and was loahcdVfsV
the committee upon its promise to
see that il was returned TO me.
After the state organization had
become a party 10 the corruption
and had been protected by the ma.
tional committee OF the Socialist
Party, was forced to conclude that
Il had lost fits integrity. and bar
tered its principles, and that in this
state IL was for sale TO the highest
bidder. | could not afford to spend
time and money organizing a polit-
ical party for grafters to peddle out
on election day. It's cheaper to buy
than Il is TO build.
All this does not detract from nor
change the principles OF scientific
Socialism. 1t does. however. prove
that there is more economic and So
cial advancement and political
honesty in the Democrat and Repub-
lican Parties than there is in the
Socialist Party in this state and m.
ton mt this time under the present
party organization.
This is why left the Socialist
Party. II was too rotten. and those
who made II rotten are still N o..
troll.

with the graft in Seattle. and win

because of the democratic principles
and economic right set forth in its
constitution and platform. In the
fall of 1906 the party was rent and
torn nsundcr by opposing elements
and factions contending for party
control. Petty jealousy and per.
sonal control OF the party for meal
tickets were the motives, and the
party was without funds.
I was nominated for Prosecuting
Attorney Of King county I'm 1905.
when the election was over had
made canvas OF the county. and
with other party nominees held
some large meetings, and the party
effected n fair organization and took
on new growth, so that In 1908 the
party was in fairly good shape
except for the brutal acts of the
State Secretary. But at the fall
election. fragrant violation OF party
principles wns INDUCED In by those
in control OF the party. and the party
split again until in the following
year. 1909. at the Everett State Con.

control and started the Wage.

and delivered to the county treasurer. This canvassing took place not at the first meeting of the board. when the returns had not yet been recelVeG, -ut within the six days allowed.
 As to the attacks that had been made upon Snowflake, Pinedale and various other precincts, some of which had been thrown out by the trial court and later restored, the supreme court in- dulges only in interesting comment. There is an intimatiOn that if those matters had been brought before the court irregularities might have been pointed out that would have had an influence upon the decision of the court.
 More space is given in the opinion to the various kinds of ballots in dispute than to any other feature of the con- test; ballots in which a cross had been marked in the square at the head of a column and then crosses in square l opposite the names of candidates; where ballots had been marked in | either the prohibition or independent l column; where the crosses were inn perfectly formed, etc, and where marks 1 were alleged to be distinguishing This part of the opinion is interest l ing and instructive for election boards and voters, but the rulings do not
 affect the general result after the de-
 cision in the Douglas precinct case
 Generally the rulings favor the ''inten-
 tion of the voter" except where tha
 intention has been expressed in clea1
 violation of the statute. There it i'
 said that the ballot must be rejected
 however plain the intention of the
 voter may have been. Generally the
 rulings of the trial court in such cases
 were sustained. It was held that .
 ballot marked with a cross in the
 square at the top of a column and an
 other in a square opposite the name O
 a candidate in another column shoul not be counted, since that method is i direct violation of the law. As to thos
 ballots which had crosses in square! in the prohibition column in front o
