The woman's suffrage movement In the

Socialists there had been no really

1t is n curious fact that EXCEPT for
keeping interest alive and for agitating
from the platform during campaigns
the party itself can be credited with
comparatively little OF the work which
has now resulted in the attainment OF
its object The first national nominal

at Columbus. Ohio. and nominated
James Black Of Pennsylvania and John
Russell of Michigan for President and
Fice-President respectively.
The keynote speeches announced
that. having failed to force a pronibi-
ton plank upon either Of the older
great national parties. the prohibition
workers were to take matters into their
own hands. Black and Russell received
altogether 5,607 votes. Their platform
had included as minor planks woman
suffrage, direct popular vote for prcsi-
dent and Nice-Presdent, sound cur
rency. the encouragement of immigra-
ton and a reduction In transportation
rates
In 1876 Green Clay Smith Of Kentucky
and q. T. Stewart of Ohio, heading the

In 1892, on n platform which besides
most OF the older planks included advo-
cacy OF monopoly laws. John Bid.
wei or California and j r. C'ranfil OF
Texas received 27O.71o votes which was
hish water mark for the party.
Split ON Suffrage and silver.
a split occurred In 1896 The Prohl
hltionists OF tho solid South opposed
woman suffrage, and the money issue so
prominent In that Presidential wear
caused another cleavage. Those who
wanted to conine the iparty to its pr.-
mary issue we're in the majority, and
their candidate, lowering, received lSl
I51 votes. The dlssenters runnino
Rently aud styling themselves the LIN.
eral party, could muster only l4O0O
Yates
THIS split persisted into 1900. when
the broad gauge candidate, pr. s q
swallow, lost the nomination TO tho
single issue man, John g. Woolley. who
received 2O7,3 votes. In 1904 how
ever, DR.. swallow made the run and re-
ceived 25s $50 votes. In 1908 ana in
1912 the nominee was T.. W. Chain. who
received respectively 1853 and 2O7, as5
votes.
In 1912 Chain made his third Presi-
dental run. This time the vote east for
him was 207G2s. Chafn was led NV
woodrow Wilson, Taft, Roosevelt and
by the Socialist candidate, Eugene Y.
