that in no circumstances, compulsory

rivalries, but, instead, will join with
the organized workers of all countries
in striving whole-heartedly for peace
by international action directed to the

Class Issues Submerged


"The ancestry" plays an important
part in the politics of the S. P. in
Wisconsin. Berger's machine caters
strongly to the German population.
Glass issues are submerged under the
appeal to national sentiment. But in
the meantime the S. P. betrays its ma
tionalist adherents as well, deluding
them into belief that the election of
LaFollette group will change the
course of American imperialism to-
wards Germany. 1t is indeed one of
the most outstanding crimes of the S.
P. which the workers will never for
give-this betrayal of internationalism
of the workers socialist movement for
the nationalism of the bourgeoisie.
The workers should we'll notice that
similar policy is adopted by the ma
tional LaFollette committee. The
Steuben society and largest bourgeois
publications are exploiting the Ger
man population while the socialist
democratic party of Germany is as
sisting the international bankers to
fasten the yoke of Dawes plan upon
the toiling masses of Germany. In con-
trast to that there is a yelled oppo-
sition to the recognition Of the first
Workers Republic, the Union of Fed
Grated Socialist Soviet Republics.
At the conference Of progressive
elements in Madison on May 18th
where the socialist party has major
ity of votes, a resolution for recognition
of Soviet Russia, was overwhelmingly
defeated. The socialist party dele.
gates either abstaining from voting
or actively opposing the resolution.
Not Constructive Program.
The same petty bourgeois theology
manifests itself in the socialist party
trade union activities. In the report
submitted by Frank j. Weber who is
very influential in the trade union
movement, there is not single con-
structive idea. No plan for the or
ganization Of the unorganized, nothing
for the improvement of the structural
form of organization.
In actual experience the socialist
party boasts of the fact that there are
fewer strikes in Milwaukee than in
any other city. AS result of this
class collaboration policy the trade
union movement is exceedingly weak.
One can clearly see that the socialist
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-10-06

Is the socialist party socialist in
name only, as the title of this article
indicates? Is the charge correct that
the socialist party has stripped itself
of the last vestige of socialism, as it's
sister parties have done in Europe?
Let the reader turn his eye to Wis
consin, the present stronghold Of the
socialist party. Let him examine the
developments which have recently
taken place there, and he will be
better able to judge whether the So
cialist party is entitled to be the
spokesman of the working class.
The socialist party held it's bi-an-
nual convention in Wisconsin on June
21st, 22nd, 1924. Here the socialist
party was confronted with the major
question of. the attitude which should
be taken towards LaFollette, should
he be supported by the socialist party
or should be exposed as a politician
and faker? In spite of the bitter OBJ
position led by Berger the attitude of
the convention seemed to be very
clear. BY vote of 113 to the con-
vention passed the following resolu-
ton: "The socialist party of Wiscon-
sin, in convention assembled adheres to
the stand heretofore taken by the ma.
tional organization, that we are un-
alterably opposed to the Cleveland
conference indorsing any candidate
running as an Independent, and there
fore resolves that in the event no
labor party is formed at Cleveland,
we favor the placing on the ballot of
a full national ticket"
Broke Convention Pledge
Mayor Hoan made fiery speech in
favor of his resolution. He stated that
the socialist party would meet with
great tiasco if it threw its support to
some disgruntled individual, either
LaFollette or MacAdoodledoo" May.
or Hoan was followed by Quick, the
present candidate of the socialist par
ty for the governor of Wisconsin.
Quick urged the socialist party not
to tie itself to the tail Of some self
seeking politicians kite. His speech
was followed by VIM Coleman, state
secretary who supported the majority
position and criticized the party for
not putting up candidate against u.
S. senator LaFollette

Dor, suddenly becomes silent on this
question. There is very little verbal
accommodation of Blaine and practical
ly no campaigning is carried on for

devoted toward boosting Berger.

Quick Slow To Act.
Even if Quick is not withdrawn for
fear Of forcing a rebellion of the al
ready bitterly dissatisfied group with
in the party, no effective fight will be
made on behalf of his election.
Quick himself it seems is conscious
of betrayal but is willing to be kidded
along. 1t is a well known fact that
prominent socialist party politicians
are working together with Blaine in
planning the LaFollette campaign and
in making a drive for his campaign
fund. 1t is only natural that under the
circumstances the S. P. would be
forced not to put up an active resist
ance to his reelection for governor
The betrayal and alliance with middle
class politicians on national scale
are inevitably followed by the betrayal
of socialism in state politics.
Only Election Machine
The continuous horse trading with
the "progressives" has a demoraiizing
effect upon the S. P. organization in
Wisconsin. With the exception of an
election machine in Milwaukee, the S.
P. of Wisconsin has practically no
membership in any other part Of the
state.
In the report of the state executive
committee to the last convention of
the party Wilson Coleman complaints
that "The LaFollette swoop in the
Fall of 1922, had also depressing eff
feet upon the remaining membership of
our party" One can clearly perceive
that the "swoop of LaFollette" in
1924, will finally destroy the last YES
tige of the party. For after all the So
cialist party today is essentially
vote-catching machine. The class
issue plays no part in it's theology be-
yond its possibilities for exploita-
ton of workers votes. 1t is to the
voter, not to the worker that the SO.
cialist party is adapting it propagan.

litical prisoners, stating in part that.

party views its trade union activities
in the light of utilizing it for its own
political gain and for the activities of
the exploiters.
A Business Platform.
In studying the platform Of the So
cialist party and also its major issues
in the Milwaukee campaign, one finds
most of the space devoted to the
question of honesty and efficiency in
government, better harbors, cheaper
administration, lower taxes, fewer
strikes and all the slogans that ap-
peal to the middle class and manu-
fcturers, but nothing is said about the
wages of the workers, trade union
movement, housing conditions and the
problems of unemployment. Only oc-
casionally few socialistic phrases are
used to delude the misguided workers
and even these are put into ambiguous
language. So, for instance, in con-
Guiding the report, the state executive
committee urges to work for the So
cialist party to the extent that zig
norance, crime and injustice be wiped
from the EARTH" Nothing is said Of
anti-labor injunctions.
The above facts clearly illustrate
that the socialist party is socialist in
name only. For many years past it has
been drifting toward the LaFollette
position and prior to it's official sur
render it has completely surrendered
ideologically. For some time back
Berger and LaFollette were in the
same camp and it was only a question
of the appropriate moment before the
entire socialist movement would jump
into the LaFollette wagon.
There is only one redeeming feature
in the latest development. The final
bankruptcy of the socialist party Of
Wisconsin has stripped it of the few
remaining socialist phrases and today
it stands before the workers of Mil
waukee exposed it's in treachery and
corruption.
The socialist party-minus social
ism.
1t will not be very long before the
few remaining proletarian elements
within the socialist party and work
ers following it's lead will rebel against
the perversion of revolutionary social
ism by Berger and Company and will
join the only true party of revolution
airy socialism-the Workers Party of
America.
