For the FIRST time In It's history the
Socialist party is facing primary fights
In the organization. Hitherto the word
Of the leaders was law and no one over
has dared to oppose the candidates Sc
lected for the various nominations.
Tho split between the right and the
left wing branches of the party in the
last year has become 80 acute that left
wingers. or those who believe in revo-
lutionarys methods, have set up oppos-
Ing candidates for nominations in
almost all the principal Socialist dis
tricts in New York city.
In many cases the left wingers have
been expelled from the regular Socialist
organization. but, as they still are en-
rolled In the party. under the law they
have the right to participate In the
primary election OF candidates for the
party. An entire left wing county ticket
has been put up against the regulars In
Brooklyn and there will be fights In
almost every Assembly and Aldermanic
district
| In Manhattan the Left winEers are
not trying to nominate candidates for
the Supreme Court or for the City
Court, but a Left Wing woman 10 run
ming for one OF the nominations to the
Municipal Court bench in the Second
District.
Among the Left Wing Socialist des-
ignees ia Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes. who
Is out on ball pending an appeal from
her conviction In Kansas City on a
charge Of violating the espionage law,
She Is running for nomination to the
Board Of Aldermen In the Second Dis
trict in opposition to Mrs. Rachael Pan
ken, the regular designee, who Is the
wife of Municipal Court Justice Jacob
Panken.
| Artists wife for Alderman.
| Mrs Anna NJ. Sloan, wife OF John
Sloan, an artist, of So Washington place
has been designated for the Board OF
Aldermen In the First District She ID
unopposed by q Left Winger. The fight
between the two factions OF the party
would seem to make It douhly sure that
no Socialist candidates will be elected
this fall. as the Republicans and Demo
Gratis have fused against them In most Of
the dangerous districts.
