Socialist Party of America 

Socialist Party of America History and Geography

 Founded in 1901, the Socialist Party grew rapidly in the years before World War I, claiming 113,000 members in 1912, making it, briefly, one of the largest socialist movements in the world. The SP won more than 900,000 votes in elections in 1912 and again in 1920. The movement's strength was evident also in the hundreds of party-affiliated newspapers and the election of mayors, council members, and other officials in more than 300 cities. The Red Scare that began in 1917 and the loss of the majority of members to the two communist parties founded in 1919 severely damaged the movement, but through the 1920s and 1930s, the SP enjoyed significant strength in some states and cities.

The changing strength and geography of the movement is revealed here is two dozen interactive maps and charts showing (1) votes for SP candidates for president, governor, and Congress in every county and state from 1904 to 1948; (2) party membership by state and year; (3) locations of 380 newspapers associated with the Socialist Party; (4) 353 towns and cities that elected Socialists to public office prior to 1920.

For you see, the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.

  Coningsby: Or The New Generation And, The governments of the present day have to deal not merely with other governments, with emperors, kings, and ministers, but also with the secret societies which have everywhere their unscrupulous agents, and can at the last moment upset all the governments’ plans. — Benjamin Disraeli, Speech at Aylesbury, Great Britain, September 10, 1870
